Snip, snip. Anyone had it done?
 

:eek:

The novacaine is a real unique experiance. The thought of it and the burn of it I did not like.

Well, I have had part of my throat cut out, both my eyes muscles cut off my eyes and sewn back on, a class 3 herniated disc which is still causing incredable pain to course down my left arm as I type, several large needles inserted into my lungs to drain out fluid (and yes I was very much awake), a nose that has been broken 6 times and a few concusions...

I got sniped 3 years ago, waited 45 min in the procedure room, the nurse had to "pull" the vas deferons down cuz my boyz decided that the room was just a bit too cold for their liking. The first few seconds were nice but after a few minutes of the worse hand job of my life the boys had no choice but to comply.

The doc that did it was in the Navy and did about 10,000 - told me he could do it with his eyes shut. "Ya Capt'n, great but what say you just try peeking out your good eye so Daddy here can staill throw Momma a decent one from time to time huh?"

The smell of the burning tubes is rather interesting, the sound is actually worse than the feel of it. When he stitches you up the tugging is also a bit troublesome. The swelling is taken care of with a bag of frozen corn. Wear a jock or some tighty whiteys to keep the boys in place for a few.

Its not that bad but I'm not a good judge of pain...

None of your damned business.


:eek:

Ya, repressed that part :(

The upside is that the doc will tell your Wife that it is really good for you to spew often. This opens the door for some additional hummers and butt sex not to mention the spontansex - Momma don't got to worry bout pills, creams, or any dat stuff and daddy don't got to worry bout no rain coat!

All in all - well worth the few moments of "discomfort".

Not nearly as bad as a trip to the dentist.

That has to be in my top 5 paragraphs ever here. :) :)

Just remember to manually clear out the tubes for a while afterwards before getting back onto the horse bareback. Ask to have a couple of hot nurses around during the procedure, it helps taking your mind off things.

I remember another old thread about this. Search for "the big V"?

Hence the alternitive routes...

I actually went to my DE driving instructor for my big V.

It was a total breeze. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 3. My kidney stone being a 10 and my bulging disk in my back being a constant 8.

He gave me a valium and percoset to take 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The nurse told me to take them when I got there. They did not kick in until I was almost done.

He numbs you up topically then gives you a couple of novacain shots. You barely feel them because he already numbed you. You might feel a slight pinch and that is the extent of the pain.

We talked cars the whole time and befor I knew it I was done.

The best advice I can give you is to get the procedure done on a Friday morning and take the day off from work. Stay off your feet on Friday and most of Saturday only getting up on Saturday to go to the bathroom and get food. Read, watch TV etc.. just relax. I think on Friday you will need to put a cold compress on for 15 minutes off for 30 on for 15 minutes. I did this for most fo Friday and didn't bother on Saturday.

On Sunday I walked around the house and did light things no heavy lifting.

On Monday I was back in the gym at 6:00 in the morning and dropped the amount of weight I lift for the week. The followig week I was back on my bicycle.

Its not a big deal just take it real easy the first 48 hours.

You can become a spokeman for Sunkist

All juice no seeds

LOL

My wife is pushing me to have this done, not a fan of having lasers near the boys.

Is "snip,snip" the procedure quit a few of you advised me to have done ASAP during my 'Tough ultimatum'- thread ? :D

17 years ago. Don't have to worry about the rain coat. Like someone said, keep the tubes cleared for a while before going back in without protection. A "friend" of mine had to have his cleared regularly for about two weeks so he went to the doctors office and this beautiful nurse regularly gave him a fantastic BJ each time. The last time when leaving he saw a door open to an examining room and this guy was masturbating. He looke at the BJ nurse with a WTF look, and she said "Oh, he only has an HMO" :)

Your wife will have to become really careful to not get pregnant....

I was having some sinus/tonsil surgery being done, and had a thought - "Hmm, while I'm asleep, wonder if I can get it all done at once?" So I called up urologists with the opening question, "What are you doing next Wednesday at 7AM?". Found a guy that did it while my head was being worked on. Two for one if you will.

He used the "no-scalpel" technique where they use a puncture wound with forceps instead of a cut with a scalpel. The theory is less irritation, easier and faster healing. No sutures, just a some cotton. You might want to do a search on "no scalpel vasectomy": "Some urologists recommend the no-scalpel method because they find it is quicker and minimizes postoperative discomfort and the risk for bleeding and infection. Recently, as encouraging studies are reported, more vasectomies are being performed using this approach."

The most standout moment for me was when the doc asked if I wanted to look down and see the vas that he had pulled out and cut. The idea of seeing a hole in my sack and things sticking out of it lead me to take a pass. A image captured by imagination can change over time, something you see is caught forever.

I'm still a young buck, no kids yet. After I find the right woman and have her squirt out a couple, I'm definitely going to get the snip snip done.

Heck, I'd rather get the snip snip now, after putting a few shots on ice. Then if I find the right woman, she gets my frozen pop and has the kids. That way we can have lots of fun without worry until we want to have kids.

Yes.

:D

Just make sure you go to a doc that you feel you can trust. First one I went to had no sense of humor. Anyone who can't take a joke about this is dangerous with a scalpel.

Found another one who was great, he did the procedure. Gave me a tab of Valium to take before I left the house for his office, helped relax everything.

The most entertaining memory was after he finished, I'm sitting there holding gauze over my package and somehow we get into this technical discussion of Palm vs. Blackberry.

Keep a few bags of frozen peas around, took about a week for the ache to fully subside.

I went for the No Scalpel Technique a couple of years ago and have to say, it really was practically painless. Had it done on a Friday afternoon, relaxed all weekend, and back at work on Monday was no worse for the wear.

No slicing, no dicing not even jullien fries, just a couple of punctures and the job was done. Didn't even feel the "kick in the nutz" that others have told me about.

Might be worth checking it out for availability in your area.

They cut a tiny hole...fished around a bit with a tool that looked a bit like a crochet hook and pulled out the tube. Then they snip off a small bit. You don't feel a thing. Pretty interesting to watch. They had me lie on the table waiting for the meds to take effect with a sheet over me with a hole cut in in to pull my equipment through. The doctor came in and asked if it would be ok to use the procedure to teach with. I said ok (drugged into stupidity). A few minutes later about 5 young women (probably 17 to about 20 years old) ...med techs I guess...came in giggling and examined my privates. After the small incision was made and he started...one said she was getting sick so they all had to leave. He joked the entire time (I found out later that it was his first time to do one)...After examining the tube he fished out, he suddenly got serious and said was not sure if he was snipping the right one and sent for a more experienced female doctor. She came in and was cracking jokes and examined it very closely with a grin and said..."I've seen thousands of these, pretty impressive specimen." I said, "yes, but I have slowed down and don't get to use it much anymore...only a couple of times a day."..Did I say they provided some great meds beforehand?
Then she said, "go ahead and snip it." I laughed, but he looked worried and said...what if it is not the right one and how will I know?" She said: "the only other thing it could be is an artery and you will know because there will be blood all over the ceiling." Of course it was the right one and everything was cool. I never felt a thing.

Definitely an experience like I suppose skydiving would be.

First they gave me a mild 'calming drug' which I think was valium. Didn't seem to do much.

Having novocaine shot into your testicle is the worst part of day one.

But I had significant pain and swelling for the next 4 days that curtailed most of my activities. There seemed to be some internal scar/adhesion that didn't let go for a couple of weeks.

Not the most fun you can have, but far less intrusive than having your partner get a tubal ligation.

Anyone said No, and had the wife get her tubes tied?

I tried.





I like being married though.

I paid $600, ... hey the doctor was a P-car owner so I felt the money went to a good cause.

I had the scalpal taken to my nuts. I was lifting weights on Monday. What you do the first 48 hours will totally affect your recovery.

I didn't pay a dime...

You had a good lead on a Kithcen G/C so if you find someone you like let me know.

Michael

I've heard of that guy! He shares a practice with Dr. Dick Skinner and Dr. Hugh Jardonn, right? ;)

There's a urologist in Austin named Richard Chopp.

No ****.

A few years ago, driving through Hawthorne, I passed the office of a gynecologist named Dr. De****o. (substituted a v for a u because of the BBS censoring) I just looked him up. He's still deep into his profession.

I've also had the "no scalpel technique". The procedure was virtually painless, although having the boys yanked to-and-fro was a little unsettling... which, according to my wife, is nothing compared to the discomfort of a woman having her tubes tied... which I was, and have been told, many, many, many times :)

Been considering this myself. . . I dunno if I like the idea of local anasthetic only for something like that, but if others have done it and say it ain't that bad I guess I'll have to take their words for it.

I thought you were supposed to go back to the doc for followup counts and only after three consecutive "0" counts would you be given the green light to go unprotected and assume zero risk of accidents. . .

10-12 releases then no activity for 2-3 days. Then you take a "sample" to the doc. Once you have two Zero counts your good to go.

The operation itself wasn't too bad. The doc gave me a valium and vicoden to take before I got to the office. He did have to give me quite a few local shots, but only the first one hurt. There was a some pain, but not too bad. I had a little discomfort for a couple weeks and then I could tell something had happened for a few months. Now two years later, I can't feel any difference and I'm just as randy as ever.

Real men Jog home after a vasectomy.


I drove and made friends with the couch and several bags of ice.

I'd wait like 5 days before Popping one off. After that spread the love!

40 skins a week - and the chance to get a head.

Funny. Just had it done last Tuesday. It still feels like I got hit in the nuts about an hour ago, but it's not to bad. The thought of getting it done is much worse then actually doing it.

I guess everyone's experience is different. I came off the table, about 6" straight up, when the Doc went to burn the first one. Other than that- when they tell you to go home, lay down and put an ice bag on it- do it! I had mine done in the am. They said to go home and do the ice thing for the rest of the day, then to go a week without any heavy lifting. Two days after the job, I mowed my yard. Riding mower. Next day my nards were the size of grapefruit and sore as a mf, but looking back, still far easier than what "she" would have had to endure.

Mine was 21 years ago. I got to watch, quite interesting. No problms, till the doc found out I rode my cycle to and from his office. He had a fit!

Guess I got lucky. Wife was in for a hernia repair and agreed to a tubal at the same time. Completely painless for me. I didn't feel a thing.

Highly recommended.
