The time has come..............

[loanrangie]

I have 2 beautiful little girls and the missus and i dont want any more so tomorrow 8am i'm booked in to have the plumbing adjusted - thats right a vasectomy. I have an extra large bag of peas waiting for when i get home after lunch, going under a general as there is no way i want to be awake while some surgeon is tugging at my tackle :eek:.

[incisor]

hope all goes well for you!

DO you have a matching blouse to go with that skirt?

Doesnt hurt.... Been there done that. :cool:

[Barefoot Dave]

Have fun mate ; ))
Don't wait till you get home for the peas, though. Have same or similair available from the time you wake up and constantly thereafter.
You DO want to minimise any chance of swelling!!
Cheers, Dave.

[Bigbjorn]

Painless surgery. Doesn't hurt the surgeon at all.

[stevo68]

I've been avoiding that like the plague after 4 kids. SWMBO even has a referral for me. I was almost halfway there on doing it until my then 12 yr old daughter asked me what it was.

I then explained in layman's terms and she gave me a layman's response....."Does that mean you will be desexed Daddy?". That was enough for me. So until I change my mind...I will have to keep exercising my skill at.....well you know ;),

Pain is not the problem, i once woke up in surgery while have a K nail inserted into my leg- a K nail is a 40cm long rod used for aligning tibia bones :eek:, scared me off being awake.

[zuno555]

Lol, 3 kids and anotherie on the way :eek: :)

I have to do it as well, but its gunna take me ages to pluck up the courage!

Re: general or local...... do they put a screen up so you cant see anything? earmuffs in case nurses come in and give a little giggle? :o :D

I'll let you know tomorrow, since you are nearby you might hear me scream about 9am.

[haggisbasher]

Nothing to worry about. Done after 4 kids.... felt fin a couple of days later. No pain.:)

Good luck.

Chris

[trobbo]

Good luck. My wife has suggested to me a few times that I need to go and get the chop but so far I have dodged the knife.

When I was about 12 I woke up in surgery to see the sugeon coming at my eyeball with a scaple. Didn't need any more anaesthetic after that - passed out with fright

[Banjo_pluker]

Luck does not come into it,

you patener will be happy for the next few weeks as you will be out of action for a while.

Nothing to it realy,

just have a relaxing day doing nothing at all on the couch or chair of preferece,

I felt good after mine until I went on a day out the next day and over did it.

It has been said that in the chair it is less painful because the surgeon is usually more gentle as you are awaike,

mine was under a general

I' wouldnt be having it done if it wasnt for my wife have a lot of hormonal problems and none of the pills available help, this was the easiest (safest)option .

[TerryO]

Well it can't be said that Aulro isn't a 'tell all or discuss all' website!

I Googled how to cook rabbit about three months ago and near the top of websites to visit was Aulro with a couple of stories about how to cook a rabbit. Amazing I thought, doesn't matter what you type in about going off road or camping etc Aulro pops up.

I'll Goggle in about a month about vasectomys and lets see if Aulro pops up as well? :eek:

Good luck for tomorrow.

cheers,
Terry

I got a rubber ring that we use on a Mates Farm...for the sheep.

I can lend it to you for a case Coke.

They they will just fall off....

You won't even know its there.

[HSVRangie]

YEP BEEN THERE DONE THAT.

Done under local, 15 min all done. Total time at docs 30min.

drove home.

no pain as such and no other issues.

Michael.

[alittlebitconcerned]

Nothing to worry about. Done after 4 kids.... all functioning again a week later :)

Good luck.

Chris

Well..... not really. Not if they did their job properly.

[Spenboyd]

Me too local as well, and just to ramp it up I was giving the self confessed Eagles fan with the scalpel a good old rev up as he was about to start hacking away.

Was a bit sore afterwards strangely enough.

[ade]

drove myself home after a local op.
two days of ice in front of the tv. milk it for all its worth:wacko:

[waynep]

I thought the procedure was pretty well 100% without issues - but someone I know had it done a while ago and ended up with "complications" - was off for a couple of weeks.

Good luck i'm sure you will be OK.

[Davetd5]

Yep, I'm booked in for three weeks time. I have to have a 'twilight' sedation where you are awake but cant remember it - due to my previous, um, cricketing injury! I had this drug for my wisdom tooth and its kinda wierd if I recall.

[rick130]

One of the local fella's had the snip a few years back, yet his missus fell pregnant last year :eek:

Lots of snickers from the locals, but the little fella is definitely his, he's a dead ringer so the tadpoles found a way through :D

Same thing happend to one of our friends after he had , had it done for about 5 years..

THAT damn BUG i tried to sqwish it again...

[blitz]

do it, shows you love her.

best thing I ever did

[banjo]

Fatty has one of those implants in her arm & they get changed every 3 years ...she says she's happy to have it so yay for me...

[austastar]

Hi,
Made the mistake of riding the bike in on the morning of the 'op'.

Rode home standing on the pegs.

Did a 3 week walk in the Western Arthur range (SW Tas) a few weeks later - the stubble was a bit much though.

Just do it!

cheers

[awabbit6]

Good luck! Not that luck comes into it - it's more the skill of the doctor. Perhaps I should say "Good Skill" ...

I've be contemplating it too after 3 kids. No urgency at this stage. I just haven't got around to making the appointment.

[midal]

Different strokes for different folks......I had it done with just a local anaesthetic early morning and no probs at all, went to work on night shift, no pain or problems ever. My brother had it and suffered with just simply walking for a couple of weeks.

Just be sure you actually want it and view it as non reversible.

[scarry]

Local for me,20min job,no worries.Was a bit sore that night though.

Best thing i ever did.

The guy that did me had done thousands,the only failure he ever had was his best mate.:eek:

[alien]

2 stories:)
The bad one....
Mate had it done, now he is a tradie and work for himself and things were slow.
So next day all felt good so off to work;)
Sliped on a ladder and tore the stitchs:eek:
2 weeks latter back to work.

The umm, stupid/best thing/mine
Had it done, all went well:D
Back to driving a forklift 3 days latter no dramas.
Now booked in for the "Test" to see if all has worked/not worked(you know what mean).
Did the jar thing so off we go, now SHMBO isn't feeling well so double booking made.
Can you see where we are going???
Yep got an all clear, nothing alive in there and YES lovie is pregnant;):D

Suggest you don't get to keen to see if it works if you know what I mean:p

[Chad]

Im confused??

Does that mean the Baby doesn't look like you?

looks like the Milkman?

[Landover]

I went in for a local but the Doc talked me into going the Sedation. Was much easier not knowing. Went home feeling great and did a few things around the house, then the local anaesthetic wore off and was like someone kicked me in them. Lucky I had some good happy drugs from a previous operation left over and spelt it off. Bit tender for a few days but no biggy. Just rest up and milk it for what it's worth.

PS: It doesn't stop them getting a head ache.;)

[lardy]

Painless surgery. Doesn't hurt the surgeon at all.

And hurts his pocket even less !!!
Good luck

[hiline]

nothing to it mate :p

i found the 3rd day after was the worst

the itching and the swelling :angel:

[sheerluck]

Sounds about right. It was definitely a case of "please take away the pain, but leave the swelling....!":o

[Basil135]

I had the 2 bricks method. :o

Local, snip, snip, see the nurse on the way out. :(

Never did go back for the follow-up test:angel:

[rick130]

Same thing happend to one of our friends after he had , had it done for about 5 years..

:D

[Disco300Tdi]

nothing to it mate :p

the itching and the swelling :angel:

Same for me,,,,

Had a scare approx 6 days later in the shower when I see a stitch heading for the drain.....:eek::eek:,,, quickly check below to see if everything was still intact, then remembered they used dissolving stitches..:D:D

[DiscoMick]

Yep, I had it done ages ago, no problems. Just take it easy for a couple of days afterwards.

[Tombie]

I went to the Docs, 15 min then a John Wayne style walk out.
Biggest mistake?! Went home and figured I better make sure the equipment still worked!

Bride and I were only just together back then so she obliged.

All worked fine but induced swelling I could have done without.......

Lol

[incisor]

i got cut by the doc that won all that money on the game shows...

he did a great job...

i followed all the rules

2 weeks later i slipped on some angle iron at the timer mill i was working at and came down on them on a handrail

thought i was dying... must have taken 3 or 4 minutes to get a bit of breathe in... then i had to crawl 60 metres to get help.. oh the joy...

still nearly brings a tear to me eye...

DON'T DO IT . THESE GUYS ARE ALL LYING. IT IS THE MOST EXCRUTIATING PAIN YOU WILL EVER GO THROUGH
IT IS A CONSPIRACY SO MEN WILL GET DONE AND HELP SLOW THE GLOBAL POPULATION

Only jokin:p

2 rules.

Rule 1 . Take it easy for a couple of days , it avoids further complications.
Rule 2. Take it easy. .................................................. ..complications.

A local is fine . When I was done and sitting in recovery later it was funny watching the other guys reactions as the local wore off:D

The diificult part was knowing you were only 10 miutes behind them :D

[loanrangie]

Well after waiting 4 ****** hours at the hospital it was all over before i knew what had kicked me in the nuts, pain is ok but i can feel the knife wounds about now :eek:.

[rockyroad]

Mrs Road has the implant in the arm which has worked well so far.

Am thinking of heading down this road. Not scared or anything, just find it hard to find a doc in this town that I trust.

[Hucksta]

Yep ... I'm also due to have the chop ...... just having some small trouble with coming to terms with some bloke tugging around down there ....

[loanrangie]

Exactly why i elected to be out while it was done, mind you i reckon they are rougher if you are asleep as my black swollen sack will attest to.

[martinozcmax]

Have fun mate ; ))
Don't wait till you get home for the peas, though. Have same or similair available from the time you wake up and constantly thereafter.

Cheers, Dave.

Maybe ask if you can keep any swelling down there and just remove the pain ? :wasntme: Had the wife done, I didn't feel a thing. :D

[adm333]

Why not just install one of these "Bypass Kits"

The pressure guage is optional, Only necessary if you have to go a long time between drinks ;)

Available from Hard Range Australia for a reasonable price.

My tale of woe and sore nuts continues, well its been 1 1/2 weeks and the so called "you'll be right tomorrow " was a crock of bs- in my case anyway. After a weekend of excruciating pain i went to see my gp who said it yes it was severely swollen and bruised but not outside the realms of a normal reaction, thats of course if normal is looking like Tyson has used your ball bag for practice and suggested i just rest. Tuesday went to work and although uncomfortable it was bearable, that night i couldnt sleep and woke up with balls of fire, i had this uncontrollable itching/ burning sensation and i couldnt stand sill so wifey took me to hospital. Had an ultrasound on my nuts to check for bloodflow and although flow was weak again it was within spec ,prescribed antibiotics and panadeine forte .
Wednesday night noticed a puss like discharge which had me worried so Thursday morning back to gp for a checkup and swab for pathology to check.
Friday back to GP and prescribed stronger anti biotics, weekend was painful but bearable but Sunday night noticed stitches had dissolved and i had 2 open wounds still bleeding :eek:. Almost in tears from what might lay ahead i popped a few pills and tried to sleep. Monday morning back to gp to check swab results and turns out i have a staff infection in my wounds and was prescribed more antibiotics. Doc cleaned me up (painfully ) and dressed wounds and said see you tomorrow.

Now i can handle pain most of the time and if it was a leg or arm wound i could deal with it but this is so debilitating that i can do SFA unless i risk opening the wounds further. Luckily i had booked annual leave for all this week but looks like i wont be able to do anything constructive in my time off.
So blokes let this be a warning to you if you plan on having the snip.

A few tips -

1) have it under a local as they are more likely to be easier on you
2) ask for a script for antibiotics
3) ask for script for panadeine forte
4) make partner put out before as it may be weeks before next one
5) take a week off work, if your ok in 2 days, you'll have 3 days to work on your landy.

Geez that sounds painful. Did they admit where the staph infection might have happened? My wife the nurse reckons doctors are notorious for not washing properly and nurses are forever having to badger them about it.
Hope it improves rapidly now.:(

Mycase was worst my gp has seen but i found out a friends brother has been thru the same **** as me, had his over a month ago and still suffers daily pain and ended up needing to have his reversed so went under the knife again :o.

Mine wasn't quite as bad as yours, but I did struggle finding underwear to...ahem....contain the increased size shall we say. Stayed that size for a month, and gradually went down during the following fortnight.

Mine's still tender 4 years later :(
