Also, while laying there as the work went on I read a magazine for distraction. <br /><br />Worked OK 'till I noticed "smoke" rising from down below. Not huge dark clouds, but enough to notice. Least not a hair fire, but the cauterizing. :)

Re: The Snip

When I made the decision I asked the doctor if there might be any complications and the only thing he said was that sometimes people become alergic to thier own sperm. I ask what would be done in that event. He said that steriod treatment was generally effective. I don't know of any downside in my case. If I did experience any allergic problems they weren't significant. YMMV. I didn't not follow dr's orders and take it easy for the full 3 days and my right testicle swelled up like a tennis ball. Tennis anyone? :D

Re: The Snip

Thanks for all the replies. I laughed, I cried, it was like a good novel.<br /><br />We decided 3 kids would be just right, so I guess I'm committed now (to more than the funny farm).<br /><br />I've got about 7 months until it's my time so I I guess I'll start saying my goodbyes now....

Re: The Snip

I'm done and very happy for it. After a couple weeks you will notice no difference. <br /><br />Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.<br />If it comes down to you or her it is much easier for you and you will also get the benefit of the wife thinking you took a bullet for her. <br /><br />Last, If you ever get asked to go on a Springer Show called "Your my baby's daddy" you will know you are safe. :D :D

Re: The Snip

When I was lying on my back with all my stuff hangin out there in front of God and everybody, they had a light on a swivel stand that they swung right over my stuff. The nurse said that it was to make sure everything was relaxed. (think warm shower, if you know what I mean :D ) As I was laying there, I got to thinking to my self," now I know how the chicken mcnuggets at Mcdonalds feel while they are under the heat lamp". I started laughing and couldnt stop. I knew that the Dr. would be in soon, and didnt want him to see me laughing. So I looked around and saw the tray that had all of the instruments of torture, and well, that took all of the funny out of me. :eek: I didnt have any bad pain afterwards, it was just the fear of pain that kept me on the couch. I never thought that I would be afraid to sneeze! :D

Re: The Snip

After the wife became pregnant with #3 I told her I would be getting the snip after the baby was born and we knew he was healthy. Don't know for sure why the caveat, but had it done. Poke, slice, snip, tie, and burn and I was on my way home, in a stick shift with a heavy clutch. Done on Friday afternoon, back at work on Monday. Yes I followed the doctor's orders, I learned long ago that's the best way to avoid problems. I was sore but no real pain.<br /><br />And I would absolutely do it again. The hardest part is taking in the samples afterward to look for "little swimmers". :cool:

Re: The Snip

I had it done about 3 1/2 months ago and it was really not a big deal. Took less than an hour from walking in the door until I was driving home.<br />I was only a bit sore the next day but far from being unable to go on with my normal day. Never needed anything for pain at all. <br />To me it was just a hell of a lot easier to get done than to have my wife go thru it. Too much plumbing when it comes to women I think.

Re: The Snip

been there done that...<br /><br />Since it was a major operation for the wife - it was really a no brainer for me. Iced it down and I was fine.<br /><br />I did ask the nurse 2 things....<br /><br />1 - after the operation they have to "hold" things for a while to stop the slight bleeding. So I asked if that part of the job was in the job description when she applied for the job - she burst laughing and said No.<br /><br />Then I asked the BIG question - so to speak...<br /><br />2 - Who did the nurses talk about? The little guys or the big guys wink wink hint hint....that really made her laugh out loud. She leaned close and whispered..........<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />..<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />..<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />..<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />..<br />.<br />.<br />..<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />The little ones :)<br /><br />Tomatolord

That's odd, because my health care covered the costs. I guess it is different in the States.<br /><br />I followed the doctors orders. If it has anything to do with my privates, I will DEFINETELY follow his orders!

Lemme put in my 2 cents worth of opinion on this matter, seeing how I'm a vasectomy graduate.<br /><br />Don't let people scare you, it's not nearly as bad as they'll lead you on......BUT......it's a hell of a lot worse than you ever thought !!! :D

I can tell you from experience that anything after kid #3 means the family no longer fits in a car, you’re looking at either a minivan or bigger, or the frustrations of the kids fighting over who has to sit in the back of a station wagon every time the family goes somewhere. And no matter what anyone says, there is no way to look cool while driving a station wagon packed full of kids from bow to stern.

Re: The Snip

Yes, best thing we ever decided on. I was one of those blokes it didn't work for 1st time, so had to go in for a general for a day. Still no big deal. Go for it.<br />My mate stuffed a bad of frozen peas in his u/pants. Reckoned he had no swelling.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Whoa uh ho ho ho. The proceedure is a little more positive than it used to be but when my wife I were first married, date already established, we had a friend who had had a to have kidney transplant and as in JB's case had a vasectomy, while he was on the table. (JB what were they doing down there that made it so convenient :D ) <br />Bottom line: A few years later his wife was pregnant. Well, you can Imagine Deans' reaction. His wife says, "before you go jumping to conclusions you had better get checked out". Sure enough the seminal vessicle had re-attached itself. The Man's name was Dean Trimble and he lived at the time around Lemoore, CA. The donor of the Kidney was his brother. They Called them Big Shakes and Little Shakes. Get it - Trimble...<br />Wouldn't the small world syndrome be great if this message some how reached him.<br />Now I know why you call yourself Rubber Frog. Say goodbye to that. :D

Oh Boy! Can I relate to that! 1974 Germany<br />Being cut open.. no pain killer! Didn't really hurt that bad. (Accident)<br />Being sewed back shut several hours later after losing several pints of blood! Again with no pain killer or drugs.<br />Now that GD Hurt! :eek: :eek: <br />Sharp needles feel like blunt nailes and the thread feels like your being skinned alive!<br /> :eek: :eek:

Re: The Snip

Did it hurt that bad...Nah, but let me tell ya I was pertaneer fraid ta walk and I did'nt even want to see the wife get out the shower for a few day's due to fear of what may happen. Honey I'm gonna take a shower....Ok I'm just gonna get up reeaaal slowww and head out to the garage!!!<br /><br />Yeah I was soar but most of it was mental, some of it was real I also had somthing swell up.<br /><br />Would I do it again....I told the doc he better get it right the first time cause he would never get me up there again.<br /><br /><br />True story...During the procedure my cell phone wrang and the nurse jokingly said: do ya wanna get that. I said sure hand it to me that has to be the wife.She did and I answered the phone "I HATE YOU!" the wife said are ya done...I said no! She asked why I answered the phone then And I told her cause I thought it was important that I tell her how I felt about here at this particular moment. Everybody busted up laufghing and the doc even had to stop and regain his composure.<br /><br />Why did I do it, the wife had four kid's I figured I could step up to the plate for a change. Besides if we had another kid we would have to upgrade to a bus, a ship, and a mansion, shortly after we bought a supermarket....
