I had an infection. Ever watch those elephantitis dudes and their wheel barrows? :eek: Yea, I'm the red & hot vote.
 
Had it done in '02 You shoulda seen my boss when I rode my Harley to work the next day to pick up a check!!!
He ORDERED me to get home an on the couch with a bag of frozen peas since he KNEW they were going to start hurting like hell any second!! They actually did throb a little like being racked about 6-8 hours after the snip, but it was really no big deal.

It's not bad until you smell the smoke.

Yah. Smelling my own internal man parts burning wasn't the most pleasant sensation, but I swear at one point it felt like he pulled out my right testicle and stretched it as far as it'd go. And he said, "Oh, that hurt?" And gave me another numbing shot.

He actually talked through the entire thing, and showed me the part he removed. I am kinda thinking there was really too much information there. I actually have been feeling more pain the more I think about what was done.

It's on the to-do list, but for some reason I'm not in a hurry to have someone take sharp implements to my nads...

Worse, I can't believe some guys get it REVERSED! :eek: When it happens, it's a one-time deal for me.

One of my dad's friends had his reversed - TWICE!!!
 
An old acquaintance's husband reversed his by accident. It was stapled and the staples had come loose. They didn't realize this until she told her husband that she was pregnant, the police had to be called to finish that conversation.

After having a baby for four months, it baffles me still why people want to go through with this multiple times. Someone's tubes are getting snipped soon, either mine or the wife's.

Be sure to get a Valium and wash it down with a nice IPA before hand. They say the needle is the worse part, but I welcomed the needle. My boys were a bit apprehensive so they withdrew to a safe place. The pain was when the doc was getting clamps on them. Wow! Now if I would have had a Valium or two before, life would have been better. The doc cut out a section of each vas deferens and folded one end back on itself and then stitched it. There's no growing back on this method.

If you have had all the kids you want, then I recommend it. I'm happy I got the big "V" and so is SWMBO.
 
I'm with EdWort. The pain and discomfort isn't that intense and the rewards are huge. Of course my expectations of our level of coital activity didn't match the implied when negotiations first began. Then again, in retrospect she probably would have been quite sticky and unable to reach anything on the bottom shelf without being subjected to a scud attack.

As far as Bird's 'man-juice' question, I asked the Urologist the same thing in his office before the procedure. He looked at me like I was some kind of degenerate moron and then explained that the sperm was a very small percentage of the, ahem, load.
 
The way I see it, us men can do it outpatient and be home the same day. It's a little more involved for our SWMBO's. They have to have invasive surgery and then recover. If we were on our last child and they ended up having to open her up, I'd have them tie her up while they were in there. Otherwise, yes I'd get it done after we were sure we had enough children.

I would just get loaded up on pills and homebrew before I went!
 
My wife had three C sections. She was afraid to have her tubes tied and didn't want to do it. I figured she had stepped up to the plate three times and if she was afraid then the manly thing to do was to take care of it myself. (insert Tim Allen grunt here)

So there you go. It doesn't emasculate you when you do it out of machismo.

So... we take the hit for the SHMBO. Fair call. I will let her know that!


:off:...kinda. Why, after millions of years of evolution are they still hanging outside of the body where they can get 'damaged'. I know it is because they have to be a couple of degrees colder than normal body temperature but surely evolution could have fixed that by now! That makes me think... (oh oh, dangerous) If, by natural selection females choose a mate based on looks, then they must like the look of the jangily fellows otherwise they would have been phased out. Maybe it is a sign of the man being able to be a BIG breeder or something. I know one thing. It is time for another coffee!

I had it done - wasn't a big deal. Just do what the doc says and take it easy for the better part of the week. I was advised to use a bag of frozen peas to keep things cool - worked like a champ!!


Everyone who says they had no real problems did exactly what the doc ordered. I may be getting mine done later in the year, just waiting for the missus to give me the green light.

Not me. I knew I had to drive to the campground after the procedure so i didn't take the valium given me. Once there, I set up the tent etc. I got someone else to haul the water for me(I'm not THAT dumb) and pull the coolers out of the truck. and THEN I spent the weekend in my camping chair. And downed lots of BMC.:)
Once I went to work on Monday I was fine, but at the time I worked as a meatcutter and had the luxury of spending the day in a refridgerated cutting room. Oh that cool room felt good.......


Now that I think of it, the worst part of everything was when I had to get tested to see if the snipping was successful. Ya gotta spank your monkey into a cup and take it to a lab. Problem was the lab tech is a good family friend. I don't know whose face was redder when I brought in the sample, hers or mine:eek:
 
Ahhhh....amazing how relevant threads pop up... I'm scheduled for Aug. 3rd.
. My wife did the Amnio needle test and a C-section so I guess
its my turn. Guess I'll report back.

Having been through In-Vitro a few times, I had to do the same for the lab techs to fertilize my test tube baby. I tried to make a game of it and see how quick I could get in and out of that room-as if THAT would impress them.:)
 
This is my best thread EVER!!!

so, do as the doc tells you, drink a whole heap of HB, use frozen peas and get ready to spank the monkey afterwards. Sounds like a normal Sunday. ;)
 
I'm doing on mine on March Madness after the next baby is born. Too cold to miss out on outdoor fun, sports on all day and night, and the wife CAN'T tell you what you can and can't watch.

EDIT:

SHouldn't this thread be called "Let's talk...Vasectomies!!!" ??

What is this March Madness that I hear so much about?

College Basketball.

In March, the 64 best teams in all of college basketball play against each other. You lose once and you're out. It goes 64 to 32 to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, and then the Big Dance between the final 2 teams. The final couple of rounds happen over the last weekend(ish) in March.

It's great fun. Office on the brackets, and guys get together, drink beer and cheer on their college.

ah, excuse to drink beer. :mug: ...the AFL (Australian rules) finals are coming up - may have to book in around then! That would be good as I would have two barrels of beer that will be ready by then. :drunk::drunk::drunk:

In a thread filled with many gut wrentching, ball clenching and humorous posts, this one is a stand out!

Personally, I am at a point where I have gone far enough through my life at 37 not wanting kids that I don't see that changing. The process has crossed my mind.
 
Done...........this morning...........I'm sore.............

Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. Right now, its like ya got kicked
in the balls, and it just doesn't go away. Not unbearable or anything like that,
just very annoying.
Should have not taken the pain med's so I could enjoy some HB's instead.:mug:
