September 2010 - And another baby!

Hi Bev,

Just a few words for Mr Harriss’ web page.

“In August 2009 I underwent a reversal operation which was carried out by Mr Duncan Harriss. Everything had been explained to my wife and I beforehand in order that we knew and understood the risks. I am pleased to say that the procedure was a complete success and that my wife is expecting our baby in March 2011. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Mr Harriss and his team but take this opportunity to say ‘Thank you’.”

Kind regards

M.C

September 2010 - Another baby!

Just to keep you updated, all has gone well so far and and we are having a baby boy - due January 2011 (9 months after reversal). Please feel free to use this information in your testimonials section. I would recommend Duncan in a heartbeat.

Kind Regards.

September 2010 - A Baby!

Bev,

After some time since last contacting you, I thought I should let you know that Lucy gave birth to our daughter, Charlotte Grace, on 12 June, so she is now just short of three months old and doing fine!

I recall that I rang you last summer to say that Lucy was pregnant, but sadly she miscarried during July 2009, at about 11 weeks. This was really upsetting, and we were of course advised to not try again until she had had one normal period. Although the miscarriage was a very unpleasant experience, leaving a big hole in our lives, we decided that we had to try again straight away. Lucy also recovered very quickly, both mentally and physically, and at almost the very first opportunity she fell pregnant again before the end of August, and the net outcome is that we now have a beautiful little daughter.

This is all nothing short of a miracle to us. Two years ago, I was physically unable to become a father again, and having met Duncan for a consultation, his calculated assessment was that the reversal procedure gave us no more than a 30% chance of success (given that 8 years had passed since I had the original vasectomy operation) However, we took the corageous approach, and pressed on with the reversal operation. Again, all I can do is sing praises to Duncan and the team for both the straight, honest, direct guidance to us, and of course for his success in carrying out such a succesful reversal!

We sometimes stop to pinch ourselves, knowing that we now have a family of our own, and in fact the last piece of the jigsaw occurs in October, when we finally get married. Even more fantastic is that we have a beautiful little flower girl coming with us on the day!!!

I hope you will pass on our thanks and best wishes to Duncan, and of course thanks to you too Bev, for your help and support.

August 2010 - An amazing story

My husband and i have been together for 12 years. from the beginning of our relationship we spoke about our desire to have a family together. Having previously undergone a vasectomy my Husband was willing to undergo a reversal to help our dream come true. 9 years passed by where we found ourselves financially able to move forward with our dream. We met with Dr Harris in 2006 and my husband underwent surgery in Feb 2007. We weren't given much hope after the operation and our hope was crushed in June 07 when we received the results of zero sperm count. We dusted ourselves down and accepted a life without a family of our own. We'd even contemplated selling up and travelling around the world. I thought i was going through early menopause when my period was 2wks late. I took a pregnancy test to rule out the impossibility (so i thought). That was Aug 30th 2009. Now August 2010 we have a healthy Little Boy of 3 1/2 months. He is a joy and a breath of fresh air and spitting image of his Dad. Thank you so much Dr Harris and his team. I never gave up on Hope. xx

A.W.

July 2010 - Pregnant!

I had my reversal on 12th May and was given a 50% chance of success. We have just found out that my partner is 5 weeks pregnant. Thank you for making this possible.

G.H.

July 2010

Mr Harriss did my reversal in June 2010. I did what I was told, showering twice a day and on the 14 day ofter operation we were to make love. This was the instruction. The first time and every day since, its like never before, so intense. I have noticed also that I want to drink water, like loads of it. I hope the desire to drink water by the bucket load and the intensity of my orgasms is a good sign ? I will keep you posted.

P.S.

July 2010 - Welcome to George!

Mr Harriss & Bev,

We wanted to thank you again for making our dreams of having a family a reality. Our son George was born on 26th June 2010 weighing a healthy 9 lb 11!. Without your skill and advice our family would not have been possible. Again, many thanks.

A.C.

July 2010 Our baby!

Apologies for not being in touch sooner. You carried out a vasectomy reversal on me on the 1st September 2008.

If you recall..it was a little complicated to carry out the repair..the vasectomy had been carried out at least 14 years previous to this.

Mt wife and I are extremely grateful that you did complete the operation as on the 15th March, our daughter Eleni was born weighing a healthy 7lb 6oz.

She has been giving us sleepless nights since, but worth everyone of them.

Therefore we would like to thank you and your team for making this possible.

Warmest regards.

P.H.

June 2010 - Pregnant 6 weeks after op!

I had my vasectomy reversal done six weeks ago today and have just found out that my wife is pregnant and will be six weeks on Wednesday. We were so pleased with the service we received and all the staff who looked after us were truly wonderful. Many thanks to Mr Harris for helping us to complete our family.

T.K.

June 2010 - Post-op

Wow just noticed that its 3 months to the day that I asked you about the how I get the operation done :) spooky lol.

So I had the op on monday and just wanted to say a few words about it.

Whilst we do not yet know the outcome of the op and if indeed I can produce the "goods" I want to say that at least I know I cant think " was it because I used a dodgy surgeon" from day one i have been VERY VERY happy I have had AMAZING service from yourself Bev and then from Mr Harriss, I HAVE NO DOUBT in my mind that if it doesn't work that it is anything to do with Mr Harriss, the care that I have received has been gold star, so thank you Bev as you made me sure with your professional and kind way that I was dealing with someone I could trust and then I had the same feeling with Mr Harriss ( although I just seen my cut and nearly fainted lol, not a Lil cut like on the snip ha ha ).

L.E.

June 2010 - 13 years after vasectomy and pregnant!

Mr Partner came to see Mr Harriss last year with regards to a vasectomy reversal - We didn't hold much hope at all of it working as it had been some 13yrs since he had the original vasectomy operation. Our own GP told us that NO reversal would work with it being so long ago.?!

After seeing Mr Harriss and speaking to yourself we felt more confident about the operation..Even though we knew there was no guarantee it would work we rang back after the New year to book in for the reversal and you was kind enough to get him in for the operation within 3 working days - He had his operation at the end of January..

The operation went without any problems apart from a small infection a few days later, but after a quick call to yourself, you got us booked straight back in to see Mr Harriss - a course of antibiotics soon cleared the infection.

We received my partner's results at the end of April and to our delight he had 20 million live sperm with around 90% swimming, which was a lot more then we had hoped for!

This was the best news ever.

And to end this email on a high - we have just found out that im approx 4 weeks pregnant and due around the beginning of Feb 2011 ! ! ! (and this is without trying fully for a baby due to work pressures, planning a wedding for July this yr and renovating a house! ! )

I don't have any children of my own and due to the vasectomy over 13yrs ago I had resigned myself to the fact that I would never be a mum. But due to the brilliant work Mr Harriss and his team performed you have all given me the most precious gift we could ever ever of wished for.

Please will you pass on my highest thanks and regards to Mr Harriss, his team and the Nursing staff that looked after my partner on the few days he was in hospital.. We would also like to thank you, for your prompt and caring assistance from day one until today.

I really don't know how to thank you all enough.

Thank you again

M.T.

June 2010

Dear Bev,

Please pass on my thanks and gratitude to all I cam across last week on my operation day.

Along with yourself I encountered polite friendly and professional people and can not speak highly enough about anyone involved in Mr Harriss clinic or the Park Hospital.

The care i received was of the highest possible standard and I am doing fine here at home.

I stayed over in the Bestwood lodge Hotel near by and found it a very relaxing hotel to convalesce in too.

I would be delighted to leave this or a future message in your testimonials as I would think your offer the best service of its kind in the country.

P.S.

June 2010 - And Pregnant!

Vasectomy reversal 11th Jan 2010 BMI Nottingham

Good morning Bev,

Firstly I am writing to say that from contacting you right through to the sperm count test, I was treated in a kind, understanding and professional manner. Everything was explained to me in a clear and understandable way. I felt so at ease with the procedure and was made very comfortable after.

The chances of my vasectomy reversal working after 9 years we were told were slim, but we looked around for the best and we found him. I would like to thank Mr Harriss and his team for giving us the first of our children due on the 23rd November 2010, my sperm count came back at an amazing 120million per ml. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Harriss and his team to anyone after all we thought we were going to have to go through IVF, ICSI or similar and we have been blessed with a miracle, which has made us the happiest people on the planet.

Once again a BIG THANK YOU

G & K

June 2010

Would you please pass our thanks onto Dr Harris for the way we were treated when attending your hospital last Monday.We were dealt with in both a polite and professional manner when carrying out my vasectomy reversal.

We will let you know how we get on.

Kind Regards,

J.R.

May 2010 - I'm pregnant!

May 2010 - From Spain

Hi Bev, an absolute pleasure to meet you today. Thank you very much for all you have done and for your kindness. Please pass on my gratitude to Mr Harriss for having the skill and dedication to give me this second chance, I am extremely impressed by his skill and professionalism and with the hospital which to me stands as a model for how it should be done.

We are back in UK in July and will make contact to arrange a sample to be assessed, we may even be lucky enough to know the answer by then........a friend had a reversal and caught on first try!!

M.L.

May 2010 - Very happy

I have just received a follow up letter regarding the result of my sperm count, which Dr Harris performed three months ago in January 2010. How can I thank him enough, the result was fantastic. Completly restoring my sperm count to above my exspectations of 30 million per ml. above the normal 20 million per ml. Thankyou all at the Park Hospital for this, and especially Dr Harris who I cannot thank enough, for a chance to have even happier news ahead with my loving wife.

April 2010 - And twins!

Message to Mr Harris. We would like to pass on our sincerest thanks and gratitude following a reversal less than a year ago after a vasectomy carried out over twelve years ago. We have the fantastic news that we are now expecting identical twins due October. We really are over the moon and cannot thank you and your staff enough. Our kindest regards.

April 2010 - and a birth!

Dear Dr Harriss, Just a line to inform you of the success of my vasectomy reversal in May 2008. As you remember it was 14 years since my vasectomy. Baby boy Miles born 1/2/2010. Would enclose photo but can't attach file. Many thanks, if you need more info for your data, don't hesitate to contact us. Yours gratefully.

Hello Mr Harriss, just wanted to say thank you for your care and attention on Tuesday. We were very impressed with the hospital and all the staff were extremely professional and friendly. Here's hoping for some success over the next few months!! Thank you again.

January 2010 - and a pregnancy

I wonder if you could pass on the news to Mr Harriss that S did a test this morning and is confirmed pregnant after my reversal operation last June. This is fantastic news (it was twelve years since my vasectomy) for us and we are both hugely grateful to the excellent work of Mr Harriss and all him team at BMI Healthcare.
We are over the moon!

January 2010

Thought I would write you guys a note to say a big thank you.

I was going to wait a few months but I felt the kindness you showed my partner & I at the hospital was just wonderful. A few years have past since visiting the UK & although I keep close contact with my immediate family my choice to distance myself from home was simple, I had lost a lot of faith in the country. Having my house burgled & cars damaged was part of the norm until I decided I really had enough of the place (hence my move to China). You guys on the other hand reinstalled a lot of that lost faith, from the time I entered reception to the moment I left the hospital you all made me feel welcome & at ease. Please, if you get the time, let all the people I came in contact with know that I thank them from the bottom of my heart. It really was a difficult decision to make to have the op but you & the team made it an easy one. Could you tell Dr Harris & his team it was a great pleasure, he & his team are a credit to their profession.

Bev, A very Merry Christmas & a Happy new year to you all! I will be in touch with any news. Many thanks.

November 09 - and a pregnancy

Thought we ought to let you know that the day after coming for my sperm count on the 23rd January (three months after the operation), we found out that ...... is pregnant. We would just like to thank Mr Harriss for giving us this chance, considering we had a very small chance of this working as Mr Harriss had complications with the operation and due to his patience, skill and professionalism we are now looking forward to the end of September when our baby is due.
Thank You so much to everyone on your team for making this happen for us.......

Not sure if I replied to the last email about using our comments for the testimonial section, we would be more than happy for you to.
The reason I'm writing today is that before Mr Harriss did my reversal I suffered a lot of pain. Mr Harriss asked me to let him know if the pain eased, well yes it has and it really feels like its back to normal, so once again please can you pass our gratitude on to Mr Harriss.

S. W.

I write to say how fantastic the test results are, and that we are still completely thrilled at the opportunity the procedure has given us to think of starting a family. That the original prediction of success for the operation of less than 30% by Mr Harriss has converted into a complete 100% success, some seven years after the original vasectomy, proves to me the benefit of coming across to Park Hospital. We are both so grateful to Duncan and the Park Hospital team for giving us the chance to transform our lives- I often relive that moment when you gave me the good news on the test results, believing initially that they would be disappointing only to realise that my count was as good as if I had never had the vasectomy in the first place! We both now think with hope to the future, when we can have our own family. All I can say, on behalf of both of us, is a hearfelt thank you, and please be assured that you will be the first to hear, should we have any good news!

R.D.

July 2009 - and pregnant!

After having my vasectomy in June 2004,We realised some time later we would like (if possible) another child,5 years after the original op we saw Mr Harriss who said he was hopeful of success,after the op in Nov 2008 we are happy to inform you my wife is now 14 weeks pregnant with the baby due in Jan 2010. Many thanks go to Mr Harriss and his team who have made our dreams a reality

July 2009 - and pregnant!

In September 2008 my partner had a vasectomy reversal performed by Dr Harriss and on Christmas Eve we received an early Christmas present - the results! The operation was a complete success. We are now absolutely thrilled to be expecting our first baby together due in January 2010. We both want to give Dr Harriss a huge thank you for making our dreams come true and in such a short space of time. We are extremely grateful.

M.K.

June 2009

I am writing to thank you for the reversal that mr harriss performed back in July 2008. I had had a vasectomy some 17 years ago and so there was only a slim chance that it would be succesfull. I am delighted to say that the whole experience could not have gone any better and that we are now expecting our child together in october 2009.

many thanks

April 09 - and pregnant

Just a quick note to share our good news with you and thank you for making it possible for us. We are now 6 weeks pregnant and expecting our child in November. As you are aware, it was over 10 years since his vasectomy was performed and our first attempt at having it reversed had not worked. Thanks to you, your vasectomy reversal has worked and we are so grateful. Now we are looking forward to November!

October 08 - and a baby

Just to let you know that we had our little boy born in August. My partner had a vasectomy reversal done by you in April 2007 and we wre so happy when we found out I was pregnant. thank you once again for making our dreams come true.

R.O.

I wanted to tell you how delighted we have been with the whole process from our initial enquiry through booking, admission, the surgery and post operative care. The whole experience was very positive for us and has given us great confidence. Thank you so much for treating us as individuals.

L. N.

A pregnancy!

It is with great gratitude that I write to you today. In February of this year you performed a vasectomy reversal on myself. I would like to thank you and your team for the excellent job done, the care and attention I received was second to none.

It gives me great pleasure to advise you that the operation was totally successful as my partner and I are now expecting our first child together. Again, I can't thank you enough for what you have done for us and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

J. R.

A very positive experience.....Bev was very helpful when I enquired....Duncan Harriss was very professional and efficient. All the nursing staff were friendly and helpful.

D.R.

A baby born!

My partner who had a reversal in 2005 12 years after his vasectomy and we had a baby boy in June of this year. This is after my husband's GP told him he would be wasting his money!! Thank you so very much.

L.M.

A pregnancy!

You recall you carried out a vasectomy reversal last January. I am delighted to tell you that my wife is pregnant and we are, of course, over the moon. Thank you for your assistance and help.

P.M.

A pregnancy !

Just a quick note to let you know how things are.

It has been a time of change over the last few months. Moving home, starting a new job and ........ falling pregnant! Yes, the operation was successful.

I wish to thank you...... for your excellent care and attention. I am highly satisfied with the whole experience.

N.K.

A pregnancy!

I was well aware that the chances of having a successful operation decrease depending on how long ago the original operation was. Whilst researching the procedure I formed the opinion that I could increase the likelihood of success by finding the best surgeon I could, which is why I approached Mr Harriss.

My amateur 'doctoring' has been proved correct as we found out this morning that the operation had worked, and my partner and I are extremely happy with the outcome. This has led me to believe that maybe a career change to study medicine may be on the cards, or maybe not!

Once again, my partner Kerry and I wish to thank Mr Harriss and his team for helping us.

P.V.

Thank you for helping us make our family complete.

D.A.

A pregnancy!

The whole operation was straighforward and painless. We didn't hold out much hope as it was 12 years after my vasectomy. When we heard the news that my partner was pregnant it was a wonderful surprise!

P.K.

You could only get so much information on the internet. It was really helpful to go through the procedure face to face with an expert.

A. J.

Thank you for being so professional and caring.
