ok, thanks for the info. I don't know anybody around here that has had one so I appreciate it, and thanks for the 4 days on my back advice. I can't wait to have my wife and kids waiting on me hand and foot!! I need a REALLY loud bell. I definitely getting one. My post count will double during that time. I'll keep everybody updated on how "the boys" are doing.. ok, just kidding, I won't.
This cracked me up, thanks chongololo!
BTW A jock strap wouldn't be a bad idea either at least for about 4-5 days after.
I was told to NEVER say ALWAYS or 100% because there are ALWAYS exceptions; but at the same time I was told that you should NOT believe those ads about rversal and to consider it permanent. I guess they can be reverse but it only works in a small percentage. We all had to go through counseling to make sure there were no 20 somethings wanting to use it as birth control
I took a long weekend off and then didn't do any flying for another week.
No pain (except during the procedure when they didn't deaden the area) and no discomfort. Going on 10 years and all is GOOD!
It's a piece of cake. I scheduled mine for a thursday morning so that I could have the rest of that day and then a 3 day weekend to recover. I was back to work on monday.
I recommend a bag of frozen peas for the recovery, they can be moved around to fit any shape needed while you are lying on the couch.
You HAVE to lie on the couch and chill for those 4 days, trying to come back too soon will get you into trouble and that's where some guys get their long term pain problems from.
Oh and don't forget to clear lines before you think you are safe for action.
The doc will have you bring in a sample after a few weeks.
Good luck.
Forget the "frozen peas". Use the 12 pack method. Put a 12 pack (barley beverage of choice) in a cooler next to you in your lazy boy. Set one between the legs, as it starts to warm up, swap it with a cold one and drink the first one. Repeat it as needed. Milk the recovery for all it is worth from your spouse, because it may be the only sympathy you ever get!
It is one of the best things I've done. We were done having kids, but I put it off for years. Who really wants this done? Think about it. Finally I did it because my wife scheduled it (Father's day gift). The procedure was quick and painless. I've had no problems since. Sex is even better when you never have to think about birth control.

I can only imagine!!
Does anybody in Atlanta have any good urologist recommendations? I am googling it but can't find any local discussions for this. I'm guessing I can just go to any urologist that has years of experience and it should be alright. I'm seeing a lot of no-scalpel procedures now. YAY!!
So, when are you going to have it done? Can you video tape the procedure for posterity? Are you going to pickle it? Do you plan to bronze the scalpel?
For those who have had it done, does a vasectomy have any negative effects on other aspects of sexual activity? Like, you know ...., oh nevermind. Will have to give myself an infraction. Maybe Redeye can PM me the answers?

I never tried the 12 pack method, good idea, but it may have interfered with the heavy duty pain tabs that they had me take. 'Lortabs' I think they were called, wow, strong stuff. Talk about going flying, I ended up cutting them in half because a whole one was too powerful.
Don't be nervous about the surgery, it takes 40 minutes and you can 'waddle' out of there and your girl can drive you home.
