So... it was scheduled. Its coming up... unsure if i need to do it but i guess the only advantage is no more kids(I have two already)Wife is pushing for it. Im just alittle on the fence.
Never wanted more. Been 38 yrs.
If you're concerned, they offered me a "reversing valve" option. Can't even remember if I took it...
No regrets. Good luck.
have 1 kid, want 2, and I think id leave it as is after my second, leaving the door open for a 3rd if we ever move to a cheaper location. But I would absolutely do it after 3 if that time ever came.
the smart play is to sit your ass on a pack of peas for the week and take advantage of doctor's orders. The procedure itself is easy lemon squeezy, but let them boys get some rest.
so basically you all are telling me "dude... just do it"
as he is doing his thing down below. Will take 15 minutes and be over before you know it. Thinking about it sucks but once it's over you realize that you could do that shit every day no problem.
Looking back, I made one good call and one bad call...
Good call: I had them put me under. No need to see, hear or smell (I hear there can be a burning smell) what's going on down there. Woke up a little loopy but nothing a nap and a bag of frozen peas couldn't cure.
Bad call: I did it on a weekend where my mother in law was visiting... it was like getting hit in the nuts twice.
We wanted three kids originally, but both of her pregnancies were difficult and both kids were premature - my son by just a little bit, and then my daughter was several weeks earlier than him. Plus I'm almost 40 now and she's 38, so yeah, we won't be having another kid.
But it's so final, and such a marker of middle age, that I can't bring myself to consider it yet. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, probably when I get tired of the "So who are you planning on impregnating in the future, because it's not going to be me? Must be saving yourself for your second wife" comments....haha
They say, don't pick up anything heavier than a Sunday Paper
This is good advice. I didn't listen to that. Picked up my toddler son and then had some, um, swelling that led to needing to surreptitiously icing my nuts at work.
I had to have it done twice. First time failed and that first time was a shitty experience. The second time I was put under and it went pretty smoothly.

would do it again in a heart beat.
the doctor that performed the surgery was called Dr. Stopp...no joke...he did my dad's too.. died a few years after i got mine done. No problem just take it easy...the worst part was the medical tape around the neck...

I completely understand why logically, but emotionally, I am reluctant to do it. Go figure. I'm almost 50, so I will get it done. I don't want any accidents calling me Daddy.
RE: the procedure is not final, can be reversed if wanted
I did have one a few years ago after my son was borne. It's really no big deal. I was put under and 20 minutes later it was done. Some bruising for a week but no real pain to speak of.

50 - just wait her out. Couple more years and she'll be done.....
It's a piece of cake. Just do what the doctor tells you do.
Mine was easy. My now ex (then wife) got me a sheet pizza, two dozen wings, a case of beer, war movies and new video games. Then took the kids away for the weekend. I took pain killers, smoked weed, drank and played video games all weekend.
A friend of mine, on the other hand, did not listen to the doc. He had sex the day he had his procedure and couldn't understand why his testicles swelled up to the size of golf balls. Moron.
is they usually send some 22 year old super model nursing student in to shave your nuts and pubic area. You need to be careful not to become aroused during this or it impacts the procedure making it far more painful that it would normally be.
I never really understand the whole angst about these things.
Second, glad they put me under. Both times. Yup. Twice for me too because they couldn't complete it the first time due to scar tissue from a previous hernia operation. So I got one side done, then had to go back for round two.
Third, no one has mentioned the best part. After the procedure, you've got to fire the gun like 10 or 12 times and then submit a sample to make sure there are no remaining swimmers. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do whether the wife lends a hand or not, so to speak.😁

Burnt flesh is a scent I'll remember for the rest of my life....
John in Charlotte can attest to the fact that I probably don't run fast enough to cause painful friction on the nads, though.
And the doc will probably start talking about football as he sears away.
im really just trying to talk myself out of it
Bad call: I did it on a weekend where my mother in law was visiting... it was like getting hit in the nuts twice.
LOL
Daaaaaaaaamn
I'm not attesting to anything about the smell of your nutsack or any painful friction in your nads.
I will vouch for the fact that we are both slower than Jason Taylor trying to close on Eli running to the corner of the end zone.

When did you find out it failed?
the doctor that performed the surgery was called Dr. Stopp...no joke...he did my dad's too.. died a few years after i got mine done. No problem just take it easy...the worst part was the medical tape around the neck...
arrghh
Plus, I still have some sporadic delusions about slipping another one past the goalie.
Yeah...I heard that is one of those side effects. But I'm sure the mocha baby is cute.
Holy crap. Post of the year.
This way you're home recovering for that Thursday and Friday with all of the games going on.
I know, that's why I said:
pjcas18 : 11:30 am : link : reply
seems so final even though they're reversible.
Plus, I still have some sporadic delusions about slipping another one past the goalie.
but the longer you wait between vasectomy and reversal the less successful the reversal process.
Ha! Funny
Burnt flesh is a scent I'll remember for the rest of my life....
LMAO...Spilled my drink all over. That's F@$ked Up!!
And burned flesh? Sounds tasty.

or RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, GET OUT BEFORE THEY SNIP YOUR NUT SACK OPEN AND STOP YOUR REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITY.
RUN!!!!

FUCK.
So much for catching up on BBI while eating lunch in your office.
Motherfucker.
Seems that if there's any doubt or misinterest in having the procedure, you just wouldn't have the procedure.
No amount of pressure from someone else - including my wife - would ever compel me to have such a thing done.
Thankfully, she's never pressured me, and I have no interest. There are plenty of ways around this stuff if you're not interested.
For you fellas who have had the procedure ... if you're pleased? Perfect.
