Tomorrow morning I get the snip.
Supposed to be no needle, no scalpel. Bring on the horror stories, but they all have to begin with "...this one time, at band camp..."

Afterwards wasn't too bad, but the needlesticks and the cauterizing weren't 'pain free' as advertised. If it hadn't worked I was ready to say screw it and stay fertile rather than go through it again. I'm not a wuss either, have a pretty high tolerance for pain. Sorry, not trying to scare you OP...  |

Air gun to blow the numbing agent in, sharp hemostat (or whatever) to poke a little hole. "...poke a little hole." In my sack. Ouch.

Got 30 days of legal narcotics which I abused with beer over a long weekend while playing Left4Dead multiplayer on PC. I still have 3/4 of the narcotics left, they wound up making me itchy. Plenty of frozen peas, ice packs, etc. will keep down the swelling. Just take it easy for a few days. No golfing.
The worst is smelling the singe of your tubes, or maybe the poor nurse that has to come in and wipe down your junk with antiseptic. |

If the doctor offers a shot of valium, take it. If not, ask for one.

Got mine ...errrr This one time at band camp, the Nazi who was masquerading as a nut doctor told me their would be no pain after wards,(havin sex wise).
Dude, get the ear plugs for your ole lady , the first time you bust a cap in her after the appropriate waiting period. The worst fuckin pain ever , I was curled up like a little girl after finding out her mom was bangin her boyfriend
It hurt so fucking bad, I held off the ole lady (ex now ) for another 4 weeks after that.
that first shot is gonna be a doozy
Good luck |

Got mine December of 90. Nothing to it. The burning smell is not good as others have said.
Don't be a bad ass like my old boss and build fence the next day. It took him weeks to recover. Lie around and do nothing for the entire three day weekend you will be gtg. Take in the two samples. My neighbor didn't and got a third son for his effort. Not a bad thing just not what they were expecting. If your doc didn't tell you bring a jock with you and wear it.. ETA: corrected spelling. |

Take EVERY painkiller they are willing to give you...both before and after. Tell 'em to give you something in advance that will numb you from the neck down.
My vasectomy in a nutshell: It hurt like hell, I passed out three times, and my nuts hurt for a long time afterward...despite following the docs instructions to the letter. If it was something that had to be re-done every few years or so, I wouldn't do it. Have fun tomorrow!

Been there done that. Afterwards the doctor told me they wouldn't have to change the seats on the operating table as I was so nervous that the only thing that touched the table was my heels and the back of my head. But really, nothing to it and well worth the inconvenience.

Doc said jock or tightie whities.
They never mention Valium until this morning, I am going to take them up on it. Will he give me Hydrocodone? I REALLY like hydros. Got some of them for a root canal last year. Crap, I was going to brew beer and build some gear this weekend. Guess that's out. I just kegged a batch, so I don't have to worry about that. |

Mine was 16yrs ago. I can still smell the vasdeferans burning. The first 5 injections into the testicles was the worse. Afterwards, it felt like a dull tooth ache for a day or two. I had talked to an older gent who had it done. He told me about the results of his. He said "it feels the same, smells the same and according to his wife, it tasted the same". I told him mine didn't swallow so that didn't matter.....to her anyway.
My advice is grab every mirror in the house and shave your ball sack. If you don't or do it wrong, the nurse will do it for you but won't be as gentle as you would be on yourself. Oh yeah, get a bag of frozen corn or peas to help ease the pain afterwards. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Skip the pain meds and let the pain be your guide. My doc said I'd be back to my old routine within a few days. I believed him. I was on Vicodin, it didn't hurt, so I went and mowed the lawn and stuff. Ended up with a huge sperm granuloma - it was like I had 3 testicles and hurt like hell. Take advantage of the opportunity to lay on the couch. |
