It can be so overwhelming can't it? How I decided was too much research! LOL I had done a lot of searches and then came here. I had a list of drs. Originally I had ruled out Dr. Wilson and Dr. Leverett because of the price. You get what you pay for mentality. LOL So I kept looking as none really stood out. Then I found this board and read the different things. Dr. Leverett just seemed right, so I emailed dh his website and had him look...

Hello, We went with Dr. Wilson. At first, I had my heart set on going w/ Dr. Leverett, but couldn't get in early as Dr. L was having back surgery at the time.. also, Dr. Roeder wasn't available at the time, either. So it looked like I was going to have to be patient and just wait. Then my dh suggested I find another dr and I got on the web and google searched "Christian doctor vasectomy reversal" and found Dr. Wilson. I...

Anyone have a successful VE?
Published (2008-11-21 20:43:00)
So after talking with Dr. Wilson via email, it seems he won't be doing our VR procedure:( He stated since it has been 10 years from original vas and that we have already had an unsuccessful reversal, we need to find a bypass surgeon. He said if he chose to do the reversal, then he would only give us a 35% chance of conceiving:( Everything I have read about the bypass surgery is that it does not have as good of success rates as a normal...

What first attracted us to Dr. Wilson was the price... $1500 was still his cost at the time. What solidified it was the conversation DH had with him. DH really liked him andfelt that he was the way to go. I am so glad I he is the one DH picked.

HellO! It is a HUGE Decision! We went back and forth between Dr Wilson and Dr Roeder. I did a consult with both. I prefered Dr Roeders personality. My DH was more comfortable with him. Also we live in Texas so it was a short drive to New Braunfels. And Dr W could not get us in for like 3 mths at the time and Dr R had appts only a mth away. So all things pointed to Dr R! We were so happy with our choice! He was fabulous! He was GREAT with my...

VR under local anethesia only.....
Published (2008-11-15 00:10:00)
My dh's reversal was under local only. The entire thing was done in about an hour but he did say he was very uncomfortable and it was downright painful at times when the doc had to pull on the tubes.

Published (2008-11-17 08:45:00)
Hi Heather, Sarah definitely needs to call the doctor right away. Do you know if they had their VR here? What she is describing are signs of infection and he may need an antibiotic. This is NOT normal. Sometimes when the stitches are starting to dissolve the incision opens as it is healing from the inside out. As long as there are no signs of infection, it should just be watched and it will close itself up eventually. But, in Sarah’s case,...

Our reversal was with Dr. R. three days ago. DH was in pain during the 10-15 minutes Dr. R. located the vas on the right side. It was hard to watch, but eventually eased off once numb. The left side was not as painful. DH had braced himself for the pain, but Dr. R. made a larger incision on the scrotum and didn't have to manipulate as much to get the vas. All in all he made it through and for our budget it was worth it. DH did wiggle in...

Any repeat reversals here?

Hi, My DH had a repeat reversal 3 years later (06/07) and I was pregnant 12/07! I did not have much faith but it happened! We went to a local urologist the first time too. BIG MISTAKE! We paid top dollar for the second go round! GL!

I am going over all this great information on the various Drs. They all seem so competent and have great success rates, but I am so terrified of not making the right choice. How did you KNOW the Dr you chose was the right one for you?

We have narrowed down our Dr. choices for the VR to Dr. Burrows @ ICVR and Dr. Roeder in Texas.  One of the differences between the two is that Dr. Roeder uses local anethesia only and Dr. Burrows uses a light general anesthesia.  My husband is VERY concerned about the idea of having to get this done by Dr. Roeder under local anethesia only.  I would really like some feedback from you ladies ...
