GUYS ROOM-- Recovering from Vasectomy...



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to publicly thank my boys for years of faithful service. You will be missed but not forgotten. Your memory will live on through the 2 off spring you have created. College is too expensive I can not allow a 3rd or 4th.

Hey guys. just went through a vasectomy 48 hours ago. Procedure wasn't too bad. first side hurt like hell. I could feel nearly everything!!! Second side was totally painless. I am back home. feet up. ice pack on the nuts. thinking I should return to work tomorrow. I walk and move around a lot. I hope I can handle it. Doc said I should wear supportive underwear, but I am a total boxer guy and love to let the meat hang. I wasn't about to go buy some tighty whities for a few days...

Questions. when were you totally back on your feet? exercising? running? have any complications? what about the hanky panky?

I have no idea how I got to this discussion, but I found it humorous. :)

You need a Nut bra. Sorry dude, hope you feel better soon. :rolleyes:

Congrats on your easy vasectomy!

Unlike my smooth Sleeve surgery (which was super-smooth), my vasectomy was rough. I was promised a 15-20 minute procedure, and it ended up being over an hour, and I was miserable the whole time.

The post-surgery bruising was horrifying. The pain was bearable, but certainly not comfortable.

3 months out, I felt fine, and sex is better knowing we won't have another little one running around. Totally worth it, but not the breezy in-and-out procedure I'd hoped for.

taking my 3rd day off of work now.... still having an uncomfortable time walking around the house. need to get back to the gym soon. doing training for some races. funny thing I haven't lost weight in a while. once I started sitting on my ass, the scale started moving down again... weird.

I had mine done on a Friday, went to a friend's wedding on a Saturday and did some dancing...not a good idea! My savior was indeed the tighty whiteys for a week...after that, I was good. I was up for doin' the nasty after a week, but was told not to do anything unprotected for two weeks or when I gave the doc a specimen to assure there were no more tadpoles hanging around.

Good luck, enjoy the freedom, and remember...sex is considered good cardio if you make it last long!!

I'm a bit behind on the threads, so just catching up. I'm sure by now you are much better Bro! My wife took one for the team four years ago after our oh shit moment happened! She was already doing a C Section so I wasn't trying to get snipped when she was already getting cut open!

Hopefully you're back on your feet and doing good. I laughed at your comment about the scale because I have the same situation. It's gotta be the muscle weight from lifting. As soon as I take a few days off I lose 2-3 lbs.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
