I'm getting fixed tomorrow

PSPookie · #1 08-19-2010, 06:34 AM

That's right. I'm locking the basement door. Taking the swimmers out of the gene pool. Decommissioning the underpants navy. The big V.

Surely there are at least a handful of TBers that have been through this. Anyone car to share their experience? What can I expect? Will this affect my ability to play in lower registers?

Jonyak · #2 08-19-2010, 06:46 AM

the wife and I don't plan on ever having kids and she wants me to get this done.

something just seems so wrong about it.

let me know how it goes.

bmc · #3 08-19-2010, 06:47 AM

I had the lead taken out of my pencil about 18 years ago. I didn't realize at the time, that I had a deeply engrained policy about just how close a needle and a scalpel were permitted to get to my pork and beans.

20 minutes of weird time, for sure. When I walked out into the waiting room, my wife had this really concerned look and asked if I wanted her to drive, to which I responded loudly, "I'M STILL A MAN!"

Waking up in the morning, with that faint into of morning wood had me standing over the porcelain bowl dispensing liquid.

Two days later all was well. Non issue, really.

And the kicker? The doctors name was Hanslip. As written, it looks unassuming. But when the secretary called the day before the "procedure", it sure sounded like Dr. Hand Slip.

So now, I shoot blanks. It may be worth mentioning that there was some quiet voice far in the back of my head that now spoke up once all was clear, to remind me that I can't reproduce again. It added fuel to "s" life, which is not an uncommon response apparently.

Have fun telling your doctor he can now poke a hole in your nads.

I'm not a guy, but I think it's great that you're doing this if you don't want more kids.

I know some guys who have forced their woman to get sterilised, which just seems to me to be really cowardly - it doesn't affect your manliness in any way and you would still be able to erm, spit, so why make the woman do it?!

Good on you man. Hope all goes well, and just think how much more you'll be able to enjoy yourselves "together" afterwards... no condoms, no spermicide, no femidoms, no birth control pills and wild hormones etc...

etoncrow · #5 08-19-2010, 06:52 AM

Had it done about 15 years ago. Quick and simple in the Doc's office. Tested it that night and it worked just fine. No problems at all.

I couldn't do that to my wife. I love her too much. The operation for her was far more involved and painful than what I had would have to put up with.

w*f?

You were able to get a rigid digit to do such a test?

Now this guy, ladies and gentleman, is a REAL man.

It seemed like an easy decision. Major surgery for her or 20 min. outpatient surgery for me. Not a hard choice. We already have two beautiful daughters and that's plenty for me whereas the potential for a "surprise" is terrifying.

It's reassuring to hear that thing went smoothly even with doctors named Hand-slip. Is there any chance they will take pity on me and give me some decent pain killers? I'm a wuss and while I'm theoretically fine with the concept of the procedure, I wonder if I might become a bit unnerved when it comes time for steel to meet flesh.

bmc · #10 08-19-2010, 07:03 AM

They'll give you pain killers.

I hope for your sake, the doctor doesn't look at you and say something cruel like "looks like a pecker, only smaller."

Seriously, it was just two small incisions in the scrotum with a tied stitch around the two tubes. I was a little bruised the next day but it worked just fine that night. No "big" deal.

I got my vasectomy back in 1990. A quick word to the wise: don't shave yourself down there with an electric rasor, just use scissors and cut the hair as close as you can. I can assure you that an electric rasor will no only cut the hair but suck the skin up into it!

And "git-r-done" on a Friday, that way you'll have the weekend to recover.

I remember that when they began the procedure the first thing they did was administer a local anesthetic. They stuck a needle in my scrotum and it caused my knees to shoot up to my chest! The procedure itself took all of ten minutes, then I went home. That weekend was fun! I walked like a cowboy, and every time I drove the car was an adventure, since I had a standard at the time and pushing the clutch in caused severe pain! And I had to keep my little kids at bay for the weekend, because every time they'd see Dad lying in bed it was an invitation to attack! But by Monday I was well enough to go back to work.

Probably not.

On the other hand, with regard to "higher registers"...

Ask a Sadhu.

KingofPizza · #15 08-19-2010, 07:44 AM

Had mine done about 5 years ago. I hate to portray this in a less than wonderful light, but mine hurt like hell. At one point I stiffened up in a pain spasm that I never knew could exist- you could have laid me across a couple of sawhorses like a 2x12 and driven a mack truck across me. It felt like they were pulling my cojones out through my throat.The docs looks at me and says "looks like we'll need a little more anesthesia, but I'm busy right now so it'll have to wait"....
My sister in law works at the urologist's office, and joked that she'd like to come in and see the jewels, I told her she could if she came in with her shirt off. It wouldn't have mattered, cause I was in a world of pain 2 minutes later.
When I got home I spent 2 days on the couch with my painkillers and frozen peas.
The real irony here is that 2 months later my wife had a hysterectomy

Don't blow off the subsequent tests, as there are lots of stories of swimmers still in the pipes, and surprise pregnancies because of this.
Good luck.

HosMan · #16 08-19-2010, 07:46 AM

Good luck my friend and I`m sure you`ll see a vas deferns in your life! sorry...

I need to get that done soon as well but have always been a bit scared.

You`re not going to watch the px,I hope!

My buddy tried to but changed his mind when they started it. lol

*snip snip*

SteveC · #17 08-19-2010, 08:05 AM

Mine was a little painful. They said I had a lot of connective tissue or something so they had to tug pretty hard. I felt pretty good later that day and the next - so good that I think I did too much. The next days were fairly painful. Lesson: stay quiet even if you feel good. I was black and blue for quite a while after.

Go in for the follow up - you need to make sure that things took.

Guys need to suck it up and do this. Outpatient for us, days in the hospital for them.

This thread is shaping up to be a funny as the fart thread. Read post number 74.

Good for you- soon you can lose the net when engaging in *marital pleasurement-type romantical adventuresomeness*

I'll share a story in a bit- gotta get the kids out the door...
