"No needle, no scalpel." I had this procedure a few years ago. I dreaded it and put it off for most of my adult life out of fear.
It ended up being the MOST PLEASANT AND FUN EXPERIENCE I've ever had in a Dr.'s office. Yes, you read that right.
With no needle, no scalpel, they use a Star Trek-like pneumatic applicator for the local anesthesia. One blast of that was a bit of pain, nothing terrible, and that was it. A few moments of mild discomfort but for the most part, it was painless and the Dr. and nurse were hilarious. My wife was with me for the procedure and we laughed a lot during the whole thing. Afterwards I took ONE tylenol and never took anything else for pain. I had a whole bunch of Wheeler Dealers recorded and spent my weekend on the couch with a bag of frozen peas and did NOTHING. Actually, I look back on that weekend very fondly.
If anyone reading this is concerned by the fear-mongering, YMMV but it was seriously nothing. I've had more pain from having a cavity filled.

If your body is still.producing after the surgery......where does it go?

The production line continues to manufacture "product", but the supply chain has been severed, so the "product" is safely dissolved back into the body. I have noticed no difference between before and after other than not worrying about accidentally ending up saddled with offspring I hadn't planned for and didn't want.
