The Mission…To remove any obstacle that stands in the way of a sale.
Most of us has at one time or another been ripped off by some unscrupulous individual or a business of dubious character. Because of this negative experience, we’ve become fearful of it happening again and so we’re very careful about with whom we do business.

There are a few different nicknames and slang terms for a vasectomy; being snipped, getting fixed, and so on. This particular procedure is especially popular with couples who do not desire more children, and the woman does not want to remain on birth control medication indefinitely. The other option would be a hysterectomy; this is a much more complicated procedure, and the healing time is measured in weeks versus days with a vasectomy. Reversing a hysterectomy would also be impossible, in the event the couple changes their mind.

If there’s one thing that doesn’t change in this life, it’s the fact that people do change. And we’re not the only things that change on a routine basis – rules change, values change, times change, and so on and so on. Every day, decisions get made only to be changed the next. But, what happens when that decision is a vasectomy? For years, men have been told that once you have a vasectomy, it’s like a diamond – it’s forever.
When a couple chooses vasectomy as their contraceptive, they have more or less decided that they need a permanent solution. They are advised about the difficulty (and many times failure) of reversing vasectomy, which allows them to make an informed decision, knowing the risks involved. Nonetheless, about ten percent of men come back with a request for reversing vasectomy within five to ten years following the surgery.
Members of The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board discuss having tubal reversal surgery after failed IVF attempts. For most women who have had their tubes tied and now desire more children, tubal reversal surgery is more successful and less expensive than the other option of in vitro fertilization (IVF). With IVF, drugs must be administered and a minor surgical procedure performed each time a women wants to try to conceive. With pregnancy rates of only 27% per cycle – and a cost of approximately $10,000 – $15,000 per cycle, IVF can become expensive quickly. When the reversal is performed by Dr. Gary Berger, success rates are nearly 75% and the cost is a one-time all-inclusive fee of $5900.
Members of the Chapel Hill Tubal Message Board discuss Body Mass Index (BMI) and tubal reversal surgery. “When I get my BMI down to 35, I will be able to have tubal reversal surgery.” Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center requires a BMI of less than 35, for optimal patient safety. Studies have shown that obesity causes increased risks for surgical patients, including anesthesia and wound healing complications. Other possible risks include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary problems. Optimal Patient Safety is of our utmost concern.

One of the most effective forms of birth control a couple can use is for the male to undergo a vasectomy. This is accomplished through a surgical procedure in which the vas deferens (the tubes that deliver sperm) are severed and tied off. But what happens if your life takes an unexpected turn, like marriage or a financial upswing, and the family you never thought you were going to want, now suddenly seems like a good idea? One of the best options available is to undergo a vasectomy reverse procedure.
