I'd like to revisit the vasectomy thread
 

I don't want to get one but may have to. Just tell me the truth; is it gonna hurt?

it's actually not a big deal. but you can get lots of sympathy for awhile. just do it.
it makes life simpler thereafter.

The shots sting a bit...nothing horrendous. When they grab the vas deferens its a bit of an uncomfortable tug. Some groin soreness after anesthesia wears off but an ice pack for 2-4 days pretty much takes care of that. Some tenderness like a bruise for 10 days or so.

Once again, I remark. A bag of frozen peas is your friend!

I heard when they tug, you feel it in your throat...

How lucky do you feel? I know some people that didn't feel a thing. Others I know carried their swollen nuts around in a wheelbarow for a few days and avoided sitting down, for some reason.

It's kinda random...

If she tells you your going to "get more" don't believe it!;)
Seriously, mine hurt during the proceedure, tender for a couple and then nothing.
It does make life easier.

Learn this phrase:

"Honey, I did this for you. I'm really sore so if you would just do this for me while I lay here, I really would appreciate it."

That'll get you lay back and relax BJ's for at least four weeks:D

I had to for my wife I got it done during a hernia repair so it was kinda like getting hit on the toe to forget a headache

Its really more embarrassing than painful especially the next few visits when giving a sample in the waiting room! So thats why they wanted me to come back!

Follow the post-op instructions and you wont have a problem, i went back to work at a busy fire station in 4 days really not a big deal.
You will not get laid more.:confused:

I used to hear it called the 'big V', haven't heard much about it lately. A non-event.

For me KT is right. :>).

Listen to the Dr.

First day, was extremely... tender. Surprisingly, using all medication known to man..day two was alot better. Day 3 pretty good.

Sample day sucks

Never been sorry.

Mine was no problem until I went out and dug fence post holes when I got bored that afternoon. The next day was miserable. I had to get divorced to improve the sex life.......

The morning of mine, the wife took me out for breakfast, I slammed a few Bloody Mary's!
I was a nervous f'ing wreck! Just hours away from having a man doc work down there and then when I get there, a smoking hot nurse comes in to prep me!!! (Ahem...shave!)

Actually the needles sting a bit but the procedure is non eventful, I demanded and received drugs after wards though, I wanted no memory of that event.

I had to go back a second time....

No big deal, take it easy afterward.

I went back to the office after the procedure. Allot of worries for nothing.

Now I don't worry about shooting anything with a loaded gun. :D

Yep. Vasectomy was one of the best things I ever did. Definitely frozen peas. I asked the doctor if anything would be different. He said it would feel the same, look the same, smell the same, and taste the same. I told him I'd take his word on the taste bit.

He was right (except I'll never know about the taste part ;) ) if I didn't remember being there I wouldn't know I had it done. It makes sex much more enjoyable since there is no anxiety anymore.

Remember the dementia link ... while you can! :D

Not a big deal, just get a bag of frozen peas and use them for a day or two.

I had mine done about 10 years ago. My Girl Friend and now Wife could get
preggy if you even looked at her. She already had one piece of baggage and
I damn sure did not want anymore. I set up the cut and drank copious amounts
of Beer before the appointment. I show up and my Doc had called in sick, they
said I could reschedul or they had another Doc that could do it. I did not want
the Beer to go to waste so I said what the hell. He turned out to be an old Navy
Doc and he had done thousands of these. They sent in a good looking Nurse to
do the shave job and Mr Happy was getting happy. He shows up with his scaplel
and wham bam it was over. He exited the room leaving the door wide open and
sent the Nurse in to clean me up. In the mean time every chick in Houston got a
good look at Mr Happy. It's the best thing I have ever done. No regret.

having your sack probed using..
a small Lobster / big crawfish ( towell clamp )
does not make for a Mr Happy..
recall looking down there to see what's burning..
only to find..Mr Happy had left the building..
frozen peas and taking it easy is the way..
testing unit to early..
will confirm that your sack can hold..
2 or more large grapefruits..
& you still can cry like a baby..

They suggest you rest for the couple of days following. Even if you think you feel fine......remember what they said.

I had mine after siring two boys. My urologist also recommended the frozen pea deal. So I'm sitting in my adirondack chair the next day, sunning, bathing suit and peas on my crotch. My 79 year old Italian neighbor comes over to talk about our tomato gardens. He's looking at my eyes, looking at the peas, looking at my my eyes. Finally he say's 'Whatsa going on with the vegetables?' Classic.

no big thing. sitting or laying for about three days is the way to go. walking is kinda uncomfortable.

:eek:

I'm planning on getting one this year... I'm 40 in March.

I had it done twice. First one was painless, second one was a weeks worth of soreness.

Ask me about the the daughter I had after the first one. :)

She was born on April Fool's Day. !!

Did Toby tell you that?

Only if you get your thumbs in the way of the two bricks.

I'm married to a vet - I had two options. Get it done or she was happy to do it - I've seen the way they do it to animals :eek: so went to see the surgeon instead.
