First off, let's keep this a clean conversation.
Well boys, I've made an appointment for a vasectomy early next month. Wife and I talked it over quite a bit and we're both ready to be done having kids (have two young boys). Due to her physical and mental health that comes along with raising two very active boys, we're done. Our medical deductible has been met for the year, so that works out in my favor. I've heard some horror stories that have me a bit concerned about my appointment, and have heard a couple of stories where everything went just fine. From what I gather, don't exert yourself too much for a few days after the surgery. I plan on wussing out taking a whole week off from work just to avoid doing anything in that time-frame that could prolong the healing process or do damage down the road.
What are your stories, if you're inclined to share? Hoping to put my mind at ease a bit, and maybe pick up a few tips to help things go easier.

Had one yesterday morning, was in and out in 30 minutes. Took some Motrin and layed on the couch watching the hunting public on amazon prime. Had an ice pack on the fellas to keep the swelling down.
As of now, I’m working from home for a few days. But, could probably go in to work as long as I don’t exert myself too much.
Little sore, but just keeping ice on it and not doing too much.
Definitely worth it.
Doc said I could go to work in a few days and resume normal activities in 5-6 days.
Have to give a “sample” at 6 and 8 weeks to make sure everything worked out right.

My buddy went fishing the same day he got his. He sat on frozen bag of peas while we fished. No big deal for him.

From the news report, the Wife got the Tubes tied 6 Months prior to her getting Pregnant . Apparently, neither Doctor tied it tight enough!!!

First off, when I got there the Dr. asked if it was ok that the new female Dr. come in and observe. Oh Geeze ! First (and ALWAYS BEST) inclination was to say NO, but I figured with what women have to through with male Dr.s, I said okay. Dr said you will feel a little 'pinch' as he deadened the area. Snip snip, suture, right side done. Not something I would recommend for 'light entertainment' but easily 'do-able' . THEN the Dr asked the 'new girl' if she wanted to do the left side. Hey ! That wasn't part of the original deal, but not wanting to hurt her feelings, I didn't protest. (Big Mistake.). I am certain she pulled out enough cord to hook it over my foot so she could work on it, I seriously thought she was trying to pull a lung out while she was there. The 'heal up' was pretty much as described above, other than the 'emotional trauma'. I guess it makes a good story though. (All true) Charlie

No big deal. Just don't be in a rush to resume "normal activities"............. don't ask how I know I've been putting this off because I'm afraid "normal activities" might not be "normal" anymore...I'm afraid of a "new normal" that might not be as good as the "normal." I like huntin' with a loaded gun.
