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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
