Vasectomy Reversal

Vasectomy Reversal Patient Comments

The following is a letter sent to Dr. Silber from a happy vasectomy reversal patient:

We would like to thank everyone for giving us the opportunity to become blessed with a large family. We would also like to share our story with those that need a little encouragement.

In 2003 we were a typical military family of four. With our daughters ages 11 and 5 we felt extremely blessed and for the most part, fulfilled. After 11 yrs in the military we decided it was time to move on to the civilian world. During this decision process we thought it would be wiser to get a vasectomy now while still on active duty since it wouldn't cost anything. Besides it was tough trying to make ends meet in the service and we thought it would be even tougher outside of the military. So with logic over shadowing the deep hidden desire for a bigger family we went ahead and had the procedure. After the first year in the civilian community we discovered that financially life was easier and with that the desire for more children grew in my wife. The gloom of making such a big mistake and not ever being able to have more children really put a black cloud over her head. She tried to accept this fate and day after day she put her best foot forward. However the flame inside her for more children grew and grew forcing her to seek help for mild depression.

Then one evening we caught a special on television about a gifted doctor performing special miracles for people like us. It gave us hope. So we contacted Dr. Silber's office after a couple weeks of debating the pros and cons for a vasectomy reversal, after all we didn't want to make another HUGE mistake.

So in the early summer of 2006 Dr. Silber performed is magic. By fall my wife was pregnant. Unfortunately at our 18 week appointment we discovered that our baby Cameron had passed. The lab reports indicated that she passed due to natural causes. They gave us a much more detailed explanation but it all boiled down to nature. Needless to say the following year was very difficult with the grieving process and the multiple failed attempts to become pregnant again. Finally during the anniversary of Camerons passing we were able to let go of the grief. We stopped trying so hard and decided to let things take their natural course. Within a month we were pregnant again!! This pregnancy had a very different outcome. On September 27th, 2008 my wife gave birth to a very healthy baby boy. Tanner was 7lbs 12oz and 21inches long and ready to take over the house. Our house finally had a happy atmosphere again, my wife felt fulfilled, we had a son to pass on the name, things couldn't be more perfect.

Then at the beginning of 2009 we let our guard down, "It was so difficult getting pregnant with the boy we can afford to relax the use contraceptions"… WRONG!!!! To our surprise we were pregnant again. Then a few weeks later another surprise, TWINS!!! Then a few months later another surprise IDENTICAL GIRLS!!!! We wanted a big family and we got it. On 28 October 2009 our twin girls Jessica and Gracie Lynn were born at 5lbs 5oz each and 19 inches long. Gracie Lynn spent the night in the NICU as a precaution to her labored breathing but after that all was good. Now we are beyond fulfilled and are comfortable with saying our family is big enough.

Thank you Dr. Silber and all your team members for giving us the chance to become ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY!!

Branden, Angel, Danielle(17), Kailey(11), Tanner(14mths), Jessica(1mth), and Gracie Lynn(1mth)
