Vasectomy

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.

I did the no needle, no scalpel… I drove there and home. It was easy, quick and zero pain.

Just a reminder to all you married guys getting the chop.  When you get divorced all the single moms will be very pleased with this

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.

[ohchaucer 1,443]

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
