How Tubal Reversal Surgery in Mexico Gave Us a Second Chance at Parenthood

My name is Ruby, and I live in Mineral Wells, Texas. Life here is simple, and for a long time, so was my plan. I had my two wonderful kids young, and back in my mid-twenties, I thought my family was complete. I made the decision to get a tubal ligation. At the time, it felt responsible and final. And it was—they didn’t just tie my tubes, it was a tubal reversal I cut and burn, a method they said was irreversible.

Well, life threw me a beautiful curveball. I met and married my husband, Carlos, a few years ago. He’s the kindest man I’ve ever known and has no children of his own. Seeing him with my kids, I saw what an incredible father he was, and a deep, powerful ache grew in my heart. We wanted a baby together. Our baby.

The problem was that "irreversible" decision I made a decade ago. We saw a specialist in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The moment I mentioned the "cut and burn" method, his face fell. He told us a reversal was highly unlikely to succeed and that our only real shot was IVF, which would cost us upwards of $20,000. He made it sound like a lost cause. We drove home from that appointment in silence, the weight of that "no" just crushing us. It felt like I was being told I didn’t deserve a second chance at this.

I'm a vet tech. I see miracles and second chances happen for animals all the time. I couldn't accept that there wasn't one for me. I spent my nights searching online, typing in every possible combination of "affordable fertility treatment" and "tubal ligation reversal success." That’s when a link to PlacidWay popped up. I read stories from other women, women just like me, who had traveled for medical care. The idea of going to another country was intimidating, but not as scary as giving up on our dream.

Sofia connected us with a renowned microsurgeon at a clinic in Reynosa, Mexico, just a few hours' drive from us. She sent his credentials, testimonials from his patients, and a clear, all-inclusive price. The entire Tubal Ligation Reversal  in Mexico, from start to finish, was going to cost $5,800. It was a price that made our dream feel possible again. PlacidWay handled the communication, scheduled the appointments, and told us exactly what to expect.

Driving across the border felt like crossing into a land of hope. The clinic was modern, spotless, and the staff was so welcoming. The surgeon himself was amazing. He sat with us, looked at my medical records, and said with confidence that he believed he could give us a good outcome. He was realistic about the chances but optimistic about his ability to restore the connection. His confidence was contagious.

I was nervous on the day of the surgery, but I felt a sense of peace. When I woke up, Carlos was by my side, and soon after, the surgeon came in. He was smiling. He said the surgery went perfectly and that he was able to successfully open and reconnect both of my tubes. Hearing those words was like a dam breaking inside me. All the fear and regret I’d been holding onto for years just washed away in a flood of grateful tears.

We returned home to Mineral Wells a few days later. We aren't pregnant yet, but for the first time in a long time, we can try. The possibility is back. That, in itself, is the miracle. PlacidWay and the incredible team in Mexico gave us back a choice that I thought I had lost forever. They didn't just offer affordable fertility treatment; they offered us a second chance at our dream, and for that, we will be forever thankful.
