I resisted at first. We agreed on tubes tied after last child. Doc said she could do it during c-section. After the baby was born, doc looked at me and said "not possible right now".  Possibly could do it with another procedure. That made it my move. Shes been through enough, my turn.

I got snipped five years ago last friday.

Doc gave me a prescriptions for two different kinds of pain pills, one stronger in case I needed it.

Got both filled, spent Labor Day weekend in a vodka and pain pill land.

Now, do you want to hear about how it took NINETY MINUTES for him to finish the procedure?

He said mine was the second most difficult he had ever done.  He was not a young doctor.

I felt like I was being interrogated by the Gestapo for a month...

Just be sure to "wrap" it until your samples come (no pun intended) back free of those little swimmy things. I had mine done 30sum years ago, and as I recall, it was around 2 months  before the all clear was given.
My only bad experience was the numbing shot in each of the boys with that 6 inch long needle. The pain was intense for a second, or 2, or 3 (or maybe it was minutes, I passed out and don't quite remember), and each of the boys felt as though they had swelled up the size of watermelons. At one point during the procedure, a nurse came in to give the doctor a message. I asked her, "What do you think?".  She replied, "Well, it looks like a penis, only smaller!". Badda Bing.
Seriously, you'll be fine. I'm just messing with you. Hopefully they have improved the proceedure in the last 30 years.

Thirty days.  Once a day.  



When I got mine done the doc handed me a cup to bring in a sample.  I told him I needed a smaller cup, the one he gave me wouldn't fit in my wifes mouth.

I've always wondered how this works. They cut the vas? What does this for the sex life? Do you spit dust, or can you still lay 8 stringers on the ladies face?
9/7/2015 6:56:05 PM EDT

Make sure and ask if it will be a open or closed vasectomy. Look up the pros and cons of both.

I would recommend a open. I don't even know what I got, but I do still have ball ache three months later.

Also there is a small chance it could effect your stamina in the bedroom. There are some sad storys out there.

He said he wasn't able to finish number one.  

How would you like to have to go back AGAIN and have it finished?

I felt things pulled on that are not supposed to be pulled on.  It felt like cords were being pulled WAY up in my abdomen.  I just had to lay there and sweat.

But hey, I'm sure yours will go fine.

they cut a section out of the vas and staple and/or cauterize both ends.  No blank shooting, just no swimmers.

Ask your doctor about congestive epididymitis.  I spent over 25 years after my vasectomy suffering from it.  Nothing like an almost constant feeling of being kicked in the groin every time you stand for a moderate period of time.   Really took the wind out of my sails.  About all the doctors said about it was that it can affect up to 15% of the men who get a vasectomy.  Their attitude was that I just had to deal with it. I was told that reversing the procedure would probably not cure it.  It has finally just about disappeared the last 7 or 8 years.  

None of this was explained to me before the procedure.  Go into this operation with all the facts.

Times have changed.  When I had mine in 77, I was reading the bible and praying.
You  see, the Urologist at Keesler Medical Center refused to do mine.
He said I was too young.  Wife is a type one diabetic, since age 16, and she had just successfully delivered a very health boy a few months back.  The risks were great, at that time, for her to have any more children.  Thus, I chose to have the cutting done.  A general surgeon ended up doing the procedure.  To make a long story short; he got "a little rough" on the right vas, felt like someone kicked me in the nuts.  Looked at the reflection, blood everywhere.  Two weeks later, still flat on my back with a hematoma the size of a grapefruit, all black and blue.  I laid on the couch for 4 days solid, pissin in a Gatorade bottle.  

Oh well, the swelling eventually went down and we lived happily ever after.  It just one of those things, for me, I'LL NEVER FORGET !!

Don't pass out and drop your phone.  Surgeons are known to be smart asses and take some pretty embarrassing photos when given the opportunity.

Good Luck and don't lift ANYTHING heavier than a can of beer for at least a week.

OP, forget the Q and A. You need to get the Periscope or Skype app for the Iphone and broadcast it live to us. You could work in an interview with your doctor - the exposure in advertising might give you a break on his fee! This could make you an ARFCOM legend!!! Think of the fame, the glory, the asshattery!
that would abound.

Whatever you do, don't get it done in an AF training hospital.  It was really great being awake for a whole class of students watching me get my nuts cut.

just before he started:

Doc: "Okay, now you're going to feel just a little prick..."
Me:  "I was just going to say that!"
