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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
