Now 35 and there are no more kids planned so the wife has been hinting about me getting "fixed".  What exactly is involved (ie shaving, etc) and what is the pain and recovery time.  Since having it done, does everything work ok and to you have the same feeling?  Same end result?  Please, I need the good, bad, and ugly?

PS Do I need to wear one of those plastic funnels afterwards lke dogs wear ? Tongue

I had it done 6 years ago.  In and out of the office in under an hour.  Just take it easy for a couple of days, no big deal.

Had it done 6 or 7 yrs ago , nothing to it , like said above in and out , and take it easy for a few days .
everything will still work the same  Wink
Just do it , you'll be glad you did when it's over .

Funny story though ,
so I get to the Doctors office and check in , the girl takes me to the room and tells me to get my shorts and underwear off and to hop up on the table , she says the doctor will be a minute or so .
So I'm just laying there Hanging out , literally , and in walks another girl , oh hi , I just need to get something over here , then leaves , no big deal , then another comes in , then leaves , then another , now I laughing to myself , I think every girl on the 2nd floor stopped by to say hi , thank god I'm not the type that gets embaressed real easy or I would have been a mess .

 Had it done a little over a year ago. Very quick procedure. There will be some soreness and bruising, but I sprained my ankle REALLY badly at work last month and that hurt a HELL of a lot more and is still not healed. Be sure to buy a bag of frozen peas and take it easy for a few days.

are the bag of peas for making you feel like you still have a bag with something round inside after the surgery or for reducing the swelling. lol.

I got it done 3 years ago now, I'm 26.  It was an easy procedure and I was at work the very next day cause my boss didn't let me get time off and it wasn't THAT bad.

Had it done in '91. The Valium shot was great. Came home, layed on the couch, iced it up and ate about 2 dozen chocolate cookies. I took it easy and didn't have any problems. My father-in-law at the time poured a concrete patio the day after his surgery. Follow doctors instructions on the rehab. Remember there are residual sperm in the system and it needs to be flushed out.

Easy, Have "Wife" Fixed !Look, my Dr.says," Man has an Inborn Desire to spread his Genes, those are carried in those little wiggelers, once that source is gone, just like in old age, so is much of that desire" think not, time will tell !!

You might want to find a new Doctor , I think the one you got now might have bought his license in a back alley somewhere Shocked

time has proven that what your doctor says is false , heck my dad has friends that were "fixed" 30 years ago and from the way they talk there definitly is No loss of desire

As has been stated it is a pretty simple procedure. I had mine snipped a couple of years ago. Just make sure you shave yourself. I bet the most pain would come from the nurse shaving your nutz with a cheap razor. Grin

The shaving and the shot to numb were what I was most concerned with.  I'm a wuss to pain so hopefully it's tolerable.  I'm hoping to have it done on a Thursday afternood and then have Friday off and the weekend to recover.

PS Bruce, I think I'll pass on the pill.  That sounds like a set up to one of those beer commercials where the guy gets crushed by a huge beer can.  Would go something like this:

Hey guys, what's up?  Oh I need to run home, I forgot to take my pill...wham, huge beer can crushes guy!

I had it done about 8 years ago. The worst part was when they pulled the Vas out to snip it. I got one of those quick adrenaline like pain shots in my gut. It felt like they tapped my nut with a small hammer. Luckily the doc had told me to kick to the side if I felt anything otherwise his tools would have been all over the office. I gave her a good kick though.  Cheesy

Other than that they were out of cold packs so I had to drive home with two cold cans of soda from the local machine in the hallway setting in my shorts. Can you imagine explaining that to the cop when he pulls you over?Huh

Recovery was a day in bed relaxing with the "Bag of Peas" as stated before. I did end up missing the Michigan classic show up in Auburn Hills that year because it was that weekend.
I guess overall that was the worst part of it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

P.S. Check out the piece of Vas they snip off when they do it. It looks like Spaghetti noodles. That said, I guess I'm just a bit to curious sometimes.......

That is so true, I have a friend from grade school she was a foster parent for a number of years and adoted several too.

The wife and are thinking about it since the kids want us to have another.  We do not want to push it.    My hat is off to you that is for sure Good Luck with the move too.

I had my factory closed down about 5 years ago (30yrs old at the time)...No big whoop - I don't recommend it, but I was walkin' around Disney world Orlando five days later w/ my 4 yr old on my shoulders all day long...you ever had your balls stick to the side of your leg?...sorry so graphic, but it was like that only a little more uncomfortable walkin' around.  Undecided Walked like a cowboy for a while, that was all...
I was suppossed to turn a confirmatory "sample" weeks later to make sure it worked, but never got up the nerve to do it.  Embarrassed
It was funny during the procedure, a real gruff lookin' dude did the ball prep (clean, shave & all that stuff) - I know some people who work in that facility & they swore to me that he was also the janitor...  Huh Shocked
So anyway, I can hook you up w/ a real good ball scrubber/ janitor if ya need.

Had mine done about a dozen years ago...took about 10 minutes; there are two variations of it, one just pinches off the duct, the other cuts a small section of the duct out and both ends pinched off.  I opted for the non-reversible one...they'll probably find the little titanium clips when they cremate me someday.
     Here's a bad one: my uncle had a vasectomy done after his wife had a tough pregnancy with their first born.  Two month later, she divorced him...ouch!
