I'm new to this board, but I was wondering if there was a difference in having your tubes tied or tubes banded? If there is, what is the difference?
I appreciate any help. Thank you,

There are different procedures for performing a tubal ligation, you can have your fallopian tubes cut, cauterized, or the doctor can use a device of some kind (clips, bands, etc.) to block the tube.
