I want to get my tubes tied, so I made an appointment with my gynocologist. He said "Sure, no problem. It will cost between $7,500 and $8,000." EXCUSE ME??? I don't have insurance, and there is NO WAY I can afford that.
Now, a dog can get spayed for $60 to $80, and that is a complete hysterectomy. I only want a tubal ligation.
Think my vet would do it, if I paid the large dog fee? ;)
Just venting ....
I dare you to ask. :D :D
Go rent a doggie suit and go ask......:D
Hey you never know with the right costume and bark he just might.......:D ;)
...always worth a try, you've heard the word no before;) :p :D
I was going to do that and when my husband found out about the recovery period and the cost, he volunteered to take care of it instead. It cost him $30 (with his insurance) and 4 days of pampering while sitting in his recliner with me waiting on him hand and foot!!! :)
Wow!!!! In Canada, I had mine done for free. Mind you, I had to wait until I was 35 and had to sign my life away on the dotted line.
No! My dad did that *SHHHHHHH* and he was in SO much pain, he was all most crying....I hear that it is not as hard on a women as a man........
For that price I would actually consider it though. Just a warning that your hubby will have quite a ride!

Try some clinics, maybe they'll do it cheaper. Does your doc know you don't have insurance?
I've never heard that before. Usually with a man it's just outpatient surgery and with a woman they need to stay in the hospital overnight and the recovery period is much longer. Maybe they did something wrong?Quote:

It's not. I was in the hospital at 8am and home by Noon. I felt absolutely no pain and only have one very tiny (almost microscopic) scar inside my bellybutton. I was back to normal the next day.
Your vet would probably make a better job of it too
I know what your talking about isn't funny in the least, but when I read your post I just had to laugh....ASK...I double dog dare ya;):D
I'm with Slick. Piece of cake...but then again I had insurance.
However, somehow they must have worded something wrong and at first my insurance wouldn't cover it because they thought I had an abortion! :eek: Needless to say they set the insurance company straight and it got paid for.
I would try talking to your doctor. Does he know you don't have insurance? A lot of times if they know you don't have insurance they will trim their fees a bit because they don't get fully reimbursed for what they charge the insurance companies either.
It's either that or off to the vet! ;)
My mom had her tubes tied right after giving birth to her third via c-section. Not sure if they charged extra for it.
Try the local planned parent hood they do lo cost stuff. My hubby had it done becouse I went through the birthing process twice decided it was his turn. Was fine except for a small infection ,a shot of pinacellion and he was fine.
I had mine done right after my twins were born and I don't think they charged that much for it.Quote:

So, see, all you have to do is have a baby and it'll be cheaper! :D
