Well. I got the ok from the wife. Did the research and made the calls. Is there anything I should know that they don’t cover? Dr Snip Info

Well they do tell you this, but let me emphasize that you should not skip the follow up "sample" test to make sure you really are shooting blanks. When I heard that a significant percentage of people don't ever come back for that, I couldn't believe it.

Uh, good luck...

In a few weeks when you take in your sample, take a big mayonnaise jar filled with Ivory Dish Washing Liquid and set it on the counter when you walk in. Watch their faces.

I personally have not had the procedure. That said a co-worker did. BE VERY CAREFUL when you are trimming up, pre-op.

Do not jump down from the seat of a John Deere 4320 on day 3 post operation.

The procedure itself isn’t bad. You’ll do fine.

When you feel better and think you can start wearing boxers again, stay in tighty whiteys another week.

When they grab the tubes to snip them it is a very uplifting experience. Go home and take it easy. No motorcycles, tractors, pogo sticks, trampolines, horses, or riding movers. I told them I'd like to keep the swelling but can they give something for the pain.

Had mine many moons ago.

The worst part was the gorgeous young nurse that came in to swab me down with the warm betadine solution. Well...maybe not.

The real worst part was pulling the cords up to get them snipped. Felt like my guts were being pulled out.

Make sure you have a bag of frozen peas handy when you come home and take it easy for a few days. I had a 3-hour Huey ride immediately after my procedure.

Best thing I ever did. You'll be back in the saddle in no time.

My doctor pointed out the same thing that several in this thread already have, which is really the most important part. You'll feel fine soon enough, but you aren't fine. Don't start doing too much just because you feel OK, as you may upset things.

buddy of mine had it done, said he was so sensitive he could feel the toaster pop up in the kitchen.

Had that done back in 1983. Had two kids and wife and I decided that was perfect and she and I agreed that she should not have to go through surgery for that. Be wary though if the wife comes back later in the marrage and says her doc put her on the pill to control her heavy periods. Lets just say we are no longer married

Fuck that

Had it done in 98. Listen to the postop instructions and to the follow up. No issues.

It was a breeze. The day of and even the day after was fine for me. The most painful was 2-4 days after.

Had mine done last August. Easy peasy. Doc prescribed Valium and that made it actually kind of fun.

About a week of being uncomfortable, but nothing major.

Sooooooo worth it!

It will make a vas deferens in your life.

Plan to take it easy for a few days....

One of my few claims to fame.... got mine at age 24... that was 39 years ago
