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.

I had to make sure everything worked as it should the day after mine. It all worked fine and that made the wife happy. Lol.


Wish I had more time to trap....

It was the first “procedure” I had ever had done. Just had our second child and figured we are done and it’s a minor procedure. For some reason I told the Doc I didn’t need anything just get it done so I could get back to work.
Naive doesn’t even begin to explain my thoughts.
During the “minor procedure” I had sweated so much from the pain on just one side the Doc asked if I needed a break before he started the other side. I told him, in not so nice words, what I’d do to him if I passed out and he woke me up before it was done.
Frozen peas were my grapefruits best friend for the next several days. Surgery was on a Fridays and went back to work that Monday on light duty for a week. After that it was like nothing had ever happened.

I near peed myself reading Hodagtrappers story. Laughed so hard I couldn’t even read it to my wife, she had to read herself. Thanks, I needed that! I am contemplating having this done myself. 33 years old, 2 healthy kids, planning no more.

Had it done 4 yrs ago at age 43. It's easy, all you have to do is lay there. Do what they say... ice, rest, etc. I took Monday off work, light duty ( I was a delivery driver for a beer distributor at the time) for a couple days, then I was back on my route.

It is sometimes not 100 percent . Had a buddy do it and 5 years later the Mrs was pregger. DNA test confirm it was him. They got a free pregnancy everything from the hospital and the doctors office. It was a very fluke thing.

My Wife had our 4 children all C section! While they were delivering our 4th she had them remove a section of her tubes.

I wasn't upset.

My wife is wanting me to get it done. She's getting ready to deliver our 4th child in November, but her 6th pregnancy in the 10 years we've been married. But I think I'll pass, had one employee have it done and he was black and blue to his ankles for a month. Had a real good friend have it done after their 4th child but within a year his wife was pregnant again and it about caused a divorce but after DNA it was proven that it had grown back so he had to do it again. Lol

When I was getting mine done the doctor started cutting before the novocaine had kicked in. I have a hard time describing the sensation that ran from my scrotum to my brain but I let the doctor know that something was amiss by jumping about a foot off of the table. He said that he would wait a bit longer and I was OK with that. He then had a problem with a bleeder and had a really cute young nurse keep pressure on it until it stopped while he did the other side. While she was doing this she let her other warm hand rest on my thigh.
I prayed that I would not respond as I normally would. The rest of the operation went smoothly and I was soon on my way home with an ice bag in my underwear. I did not have any real discomfort later so was stupid enough to go ice fishing the next day and auger holes and toss my young son up in the air to show how invincible I was. Big mistake.
I did not miss any work because of it. (had it done on a Friday and returned to work on Monday) but all would have been so much better had I rested more and refrained from the physical activity.
Don't sweat it. It is no big deal and your performance level will not suffer one bit.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Stop and thing about that for a moment. Your wife has carried and will have given birth to four children.

I did not rest with feet up long enough and that is a no-no. If you try to do to much too soon you will be swinging your legs forward with wide spacing and walking like your pants are full!

Good luck

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. eek 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, sick I seriously thought she was trying to pull a lung out while she was there. cry

The 'heal up' was pretty much as described above, other than the 'emotional trauma'. I guess it makes a good story though. (All true) grin

Holy crap!! I’m tossing and turning right now from reading that lol!!

I still have my tonsils, wisdom teeth, spleen, appendix and my boys are intact at 57. Doctors and dentists drool at all the money they can make off my body if I would only let them ha ha! No way I'm going out the same way I came into this world minus some skin and am not very happy about that I would pay some darn good money to get it back.

I had it done back in 1989. My wife and I had a meeting with the doctor. He told my wife that after the surgery she was to keep some beer cold. She was to hand me a cold beer, and I'd place it down at the area of the incision. When that one started to warm up, she was to pass me another one for that area, and I was to drink the warming one. He said the cold ones would keep the swelling down and the drank ones would make me pee, which was essential. I had a great time recovering - lol. By the way, this was in Alaska. I don't know if they still do it that way.

Never mind ill share the details as they are a little humorous now that its over. Evidently they had some unknown grounding issues with the instrument they do the coderization(spelling) with and I felt an electronic shock from my groin to both ends of my body. I think I came 2 foot off the table. No other instrument in the office and we had to finish. I suggested a lighter and hot knife but dr wouldn't go for it. I had to endure because there was no backing up at that point. And I dont like electricity any way. I made the dr vow to have that instrument worked before next procedure.

Bless your heart, seriously!
