Whatever the cost, it's cheaper than another kid.

I can get it done in Mexico for cheap. I only came to Austin/Dr. Floyd for the no incision procedure.

If they are gonna knock my ass out, I'll just do it closer to my house and save a lot of money.

High vas deferens?  My guy didn't even bother checking before the big day.  This was over ten years ago and I had incisions, etc.  But it still was in-office with just a local and some Valium.  Maybe a third-opinion is in order?

Going in to get neutered tomorrow morning. Got the frozen peas chilling and wife waitress-trained and standing by.

My doc said should be okay to drive (about a 15 minute trip) but wonder if I should have the wife be my driver.

Anyway, two kids is plenty and I’m looking forward to shootin’ some blanks.

Best $92 dollars I ever spent. Your only mistake is not scheduling it on the Friday before opening NFL weekend. I spent all weekend on the couch watching playing up the pain.

what the fuck are they giving you for anesthesia?  fucking lidocain as a local?   are you not taking slightly more powerful stuff?  

I was given one half a xanex and had to be driven home by a buddy.  I wasnt kookoo but they made it very clear that I wasnt allowed to drive, nor would they just let me take a uber. 

 

anyway, let the wife drive that short of the trip, gives you the earliest opportunity to start garnering sympathy pains.

Some mega pussies up in this vasectomy thread. The “no incision” or “no scalpel” thing is a marketing joke. They have to get inside your scrotum to cut the tubes. A scalpel makes a small, precise opening. Using sharp forceps to tear a hole open is technically not an incision and doesn’t use a scalpel, but it’s not less painful and could result in a larger or irregular wound/opening in the scrotum. 
 

My doc did the cold spray to numb up the boys before a lidocaine stick, then you don’t feel anything except the thump like pressure when he actually severs and clips the tubes. I drove myself home (~20 mins). Rotated between 3 bags of frozen peas and carrots every 30-60 mins to keep constant cold for 24 hours. Rotated between Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Went trap shooting 48 hours after procedure with only mild discomfort.

As someone who had the no needle, no scalpel procedure - I can tell you there was zero pain. None. After they punch a hole, they deaden everything. I think he used a spray. Regardless, it was really simple and I had no issues.

Welp, that was easy. A little discomfort on one side but he hit it with a little more lidocaine and 5 seconds later no pain at all. Whole thing from check in to check out was about 35 minutes.

Drove home fine. A little discomfort just in the sense that there is some incision and a little bit like just barely getting racked. But otherwise so far so good.

Icing and about to binge season 3 of “I Think You Should Leave.”

Yeah, the doctor prescribed a Valium to take 30 minutes before the procedure, and while I knew that my nether regions would likely be sufficiently numbed, I was still just a tad nervous about a sharp knife to my balls and instruments working inside.  So I took the whole thing (they said half would probably be fine), and when I was ready to go home, there's no way I could've driven.

the worst part is the tugging you feel when they grab the vas deferens and the burning flesh smell as they cauterize it. otherwise it's no biggie. don't be a pussy and take one for your lady

You are in pain and "need" days of rest... don't ruin this 

Image of Yeah, we stick to the story, all right?

Exactly this. Anyone reading this and considering a vasectomy soon heed my words:

March Madness is close at hand. First, use protection so that you don't end up with another kid before March 18th. Schedule your appointment around the bracket. Friday afternoon is best.  Afterwords, you get the weekend to watch college basketball and "recover" alone. Cooler beside the chair with beer and a bag of frozen peas. Peace, quiet and all the hoops you can handle. 2nd round is March 22-23. Sweet 16 is March 27-28. Book your appointment accordingly.

The place I used is about 60 miles away. Morning of I took the valium as we got in the car so it was hitting strong about the time we got there. I checked in and the receptionist told me that my doctor's dad had a heart attack that morning and he was out, but his partner was taking on his appointments that day and asked if I was OK with him performing the procedure. I told her her I was ready to go and I didn't care if she did it. 

Wife and I sat down in the waiting area and after a few minutes this dude comes out to get me, wearing short sleeve scrubs with full sleeve tattoos down both arms:

He takes me to the room and starts getting things set up, had me drop my sweats down to my ankles and put this metal plate with a cable coming off of it under my ass and said it was a grounding plate, the tool they used to seal up the tubes worked like an arc welder, and it kind of looked like a soldering iron, then he put on a sheet to cover my nakedness. About this time the doctor comes in with another lady, he tells me she is a resident and would like to know if I was OK with her watching the procedure. At that point I was still floating on the Valium cloud, so told him I didn't give a shit if they streamed it live on youtube. Doctor asked if I had any questions and then he said "I have one more question for you before we begin, I like to listen to music while doing the procedure and have probably almost any song you can think of on my phone, what kind of music are we going to listen to today?" I asked if he had any Beastie Boys and he said "Hell yeah I got Beastie Boys!" 

Doctor and resident left the room while Fast N' Loud finished doing nurse things. Then he gave me the shot of local anesthesia... Holy shit that was the most painful shot I have ever gotten. Doctor and resident come back in and they pull back the sheet to begin. My poor little penis, maybe it was from the Valium? I had full-on turtle dick syndrome and my guy looked like a lil chub sausage wearing a cinched up hoodie. I knew I was never going to see any of these people ever again, probably, but still, if you have to be all out on display then, you know what I mean, still embarrassing. 

Doctor puts Beasties Boys on shuffle and starts cutting away to Sabotage. Before halfway through, the anesthetic wore off and I was starting to flinch some. Doctor noticed and ask if I was filling a pull - up in my stomach? I said, I'm not numb, I can feel what your doing. He goes "Oh, shit... Do you want another shot?" I said NO! this hurts less than that shot did, lets just get through it. He welded my tubes and sewed me up to Intergalactic and that was that, whole procedure took three, maybe four songs. At check out they gave me a brown paper sack with a cup in it and said come back with a sample in a couple months. 

Took two days of PTO and had my procedure Thursday morning. Rest of the day I hung out in the guest room downstairs just watching movies and sleeping. Kept a bag of frozen peas on my crotch. 

Day 1 of recovery, wasn't uncomfortable at all really. Just laid around watching TV with frozen peas on my crotch. 

Day 2 of recovery, was the most sore this day but still not any real pain, another day of frozen peas.

Day 3 of recovery, felt perfectly fine and was really tired of sitting around but I didn't have shit to do so I still took it easy, I was up a lot more walking around but didn't FA too much.  Went back to work the next day. 

 

Worst part for me was the shot, then it not working but it still wasn't unbearable. 

 

My advice FWIW:

1. Frozen peas really do work well. Get a few bags to have a rotation. 

2. The only guys I know personally that had any issues was because they didn't follow the recovery plan because they were He-Man and felt perfectly fine afterwards, until they fucked themselves up.

I did mine a couple months ago. The shot doesn't feel great and I sort of felt the first snip, so I think they numbed the other side up more. 

I was surprisingly sore for a few weeks, but everyday stuff was easy after a couple days.

Gents if you can find the no needle, no scalpel docs - that is the way to go. I felt some slight pinch and after that all was fine.

Here’s is one guy in Pearland.
