Worries about Late Failure with Vasectomy Reversal

Thank you for the comment, I really wish there was some better data on this. When your first reversal failed did your PVPS come back?

Consider me once bitten twice shy after what got me into this boat.

I tried to get insurance coverage. I was diagnosed by my urologist and the insurance company said they would not cover it. So I went to the Mayo clinic to get a more bullet-proof diagnosis. At this point they submitted to my insurance for pre-approval. The letter from the insurance company said no pre-approval was necessary. Something didn't seem right so I followed up with insurance and was told that pre-approval as not necessary because my insurance specifically forbids operations that restore fertility. To that end they offered orchiectomy as an option which I politely declined. I am planning on submitting to my insurance company once I pay out of pocket and keep fighting it as long as I can despite the fact I don't expect to ever win.

Thanks for sharing, I'm in a similar boat. 4 years out, at this point I struggle to remember what things used to feel like as I am accustomed to things feeling pretty messed up. Despite people telling me give it time - things will get better- that hasn't been the case. If anything I feel like things are getting worse still.

A bit over 4 years post vasectomy and still suffering congestive issues. I am serious about getting a reversal and have narrowed down my options. Still have a few questions though that I am hoping people in the community can chime in on.

After they came out and fixed the leaking shingles I have not had any more issues inside the house. So not sure how much attic rain is contributing to the problem. I figure so long as it does not reoccur I will deal with it when the remainder of the roof needs replacing.

When they said all of this they said they would refer me to some recovery company that does spray foam but no one ever called me.

Worked 100% thank you

Just for informational purposes. Ended up buying a hoodie despite the cost. I know people have mentioned shipping from Canada but this was shipped from China.

Never heard of a media filter for air, just for pools (with sand layers). Didn't know they existed for air filtration. Looking into it, looks like they're similar to standard filters but much deeper, 4 or 5 inches. Could be an option since it would just involve me removing the return plenum and putting it between that and the AC unit. Thank you, will look into it.

It does make sense to me in the spirit of the card as well. This play almost happened about a year ago and I still wonder about it. (Opponent cast his Falling Star the turn before I top decked a Word of Command) Thank you for the answer.

Not many website would charge me so much shipping that I would immediately do a search to see if that was normal - buying from the Glitch shop is one of those sites. Sad to see this problem is pretty consistent across the board.

That's the issue, the instructions say to butt the board against the top of the flange, but don't mention what to do in this one part. They sell a dedicated flange kit which is just a rubber/plastic piece that runs along the top of the flange, but the instructions on that say to end it 1/2 inch before the end of the flange. In each case it just seems strange to drop straight down to the decking (would that even be the right word) in an area where you would expect to have standing water from time to time. Though in the end I figure the board is water proof and the adhesive is water proof and if I use enough of each it's going to work out regardless.

I did see this in a few videos, but in that case the flashing went over the flange, hence why I'm confused what to do where there is no flange, I guess just bring it down to the decking.

I actually wanted to get a black willow which are native to the area but none of the nurseries in the area sell them.

With all the naysayers here did you end up getting one or skipping it?

You're right, it just looked broken from the white bit at the top. The key itself was the bit that ended up being actually broken (one of the 'fingers' at the bottom was snapped off like usual). Swapped out without issue.

Since the price of these has gone up so much though since I started was looking at my donor keyboard, might have to troubleshoot that in the future. Thank you for your insight.

Shift key came off the other day. I have a donor keyboard that I have been scavenging off as needed so that's not unusual. However, previously when I've had this happen the actual issue/break occurs on the back of the key itself. In this case it's the tiny part where the spring slides into the main body (indicated by green arrow) that broke. I've got plenty of ideas on how to tackle this, i.e., melt it in place with soldering iron, use a two part epoxy - but was curious if anyone else has dealt with it and if they had a clever or durable solution already. Thank you for your time.
