One or two surgeries may be needed to do this depending upon the location of the blockage.

>do I go under?

Yes.

>how many days in bed?

Depends upon location of blockage, again.

>>when can I get up after this procedure?

Usually same day.

>>could I possibly get pregnat?

Depends upon whether or not there are any other factors preventing pregnancy and how severe the blockage and location. As I mentioned one my last response, a blockage at the end of the tube is less likely to be a long term problem than if the blockage is in the middle of the tube. The tube may be opened but not function appropriately.

Unanswerable from the information provided.

>>How much does it cost?

Unanswerable from the information provided. In addition, there are hospital costs and anetheesia costs.

>>Is it covered by Insurance ??

Depends upon the company. You'll have to call them.

>>Do you think kaiser doctors do these procedures?

Some might.
