vasectomy advice!!!!!!!!!!
 

Later this afternoon, I'm going to have my nutsack cut open and my tubes tied.

I was planning on going to work tomorrow, but now I'm not so sure. My work day involves 2 hours of commuting in a car with stick-shift, sitting on my ass and typing into a PC and talking on the phone.

I've heard everything from - "lay down for two days or your scrotum will turn ito a giant blood-filled melon of pain," to "Go to work, you pussy."

Quick, what should I do (recovery-wise)? I'll check back just before I leave for the sack-slashing event.

im sorry i can offer you no advice, but good luck and i hope all goes well. Also, i imagine that it'd be a valid reason to take the day off work, just to be safe.

sack slashing
 

I would take the day off just to be sure. Not trying to sound rude, but this is nothing compared to what women have to go through. I know things are "sacred" down there, but you'll be fine!

I took four days off. I used ice for the swelling, My brother-in-law went back to work the same day and ended up with a nutsack the size of a cantalope.

i woulda planned it on a friday... stayed home afterwards friday... and then recovered the rest of the weekend... and maybe taken monday off too... *shrug* but thats me...

how much does one of those cost? not to ask a stupid question, and what is a valid reason for them to be covered under insurance?

Insurance is funny. I think the procedure is going to cost about $50. But the same insurance only covers the first $2 (yes Two dollars) of a month's upply of birth control pills.

All one has to do is say, "cut me" and you have a valid reason.

good luck Clavus, I hope that things go/went well, and that you're not in too much pain.

just went through it. i was a part of a clinical trial so i got it paid for and made 200$ and they filmed it so now i'm a quasi porn star.

take the days off. it'll be sore. i iced the hell out of them for 24 hours straight i used bags of corn and bags of peas and the corn is softer. wear bun huggers for a week or so and don't rush to exercise. i went on a five mile walk about 6 days after the surgery and my nuts hurt for a day afterward.

good luck.

ps you're cool for doing it. making a woman go through getting her tubes tied is just the pinnacle male suckness.

You guys are very brave....

OK. The deed is done. I'm taking the day off.

It hurts to push out a simple fart. I live in fear of the crap I must soon take.

take a stool softener

I deal with health insurance companies daily.

Frankly, they are there to make money, not care for your needs. Vasectomy is not a necessary procedure- it is optional. Thus some companies won't cover it. However, most do cover it, as they'd rather pay the small price for a vasectomy than the much larger price for labor and delivery + 9 months of office visits.

BTW, I had em clipped last year. So nice not to have to worry about pregnancy after so many years of sweating it out and praying for a period!!
