Post surgery report
Rich had his vasectomy reversal surgery today, and asked me (his wife) to guest post about his experience. So far, it’s gone better than expected. His biggest post-surgery complaint is not about pain, but rather that his mouth is so dry. He also hates the ice that will remain on his testicles for the next 30 hours, since it makes him feel like he has to urinate constantly. Because it had been so long since the initial vasectomy, we feared that he would require a vasoepididymostomy, but the doctor reported that he was able to find good fluid on both sides and he performed a vasovasostomy. A vasovasostomy increases pregnancy odds, but also means that there was no opportunity to collect sperm for freezing . Technorati tags: Vasectomy reversal

Glad to hear the operation went well. Did they find live sperm from the testical side of the vas?
My acupunturist said that surgery can cause some stagnation in the body that acupuncture can help with. I personally found this was helpful after my fibroid operation. Evidently they can do some work around this type of vas procedure, ask your local chapter of RESOLVE for acupunture references if you are interested.
Best wishes,
A
