So, how do I go about getting a vasectomy?

[Twofootputt]

Quick method:
1. Wait for PMS
2. Answer honestly when she asks if she looks fat in the dress.
3. Done

Holy hell that dementia study scares me. My third kid is coming in April and the wife and I have decided we're done so I'm considering a vasectomy but that is a nasty nasty side affect to have to worry about.

Hey
If you change your mind someday there is a possibility that they can reverse it but it's not 100% and can be costly. You could also store some swimmers incase you want a child in the future.
If you do get it one thing they don't tell you about is the smell. They cauturize(sp) some of what they are working on, the tubes I think, and burning flesh is not a pleasant smell.

I almost had it done when I was 24. I was 100% sure I would never want kids. In fact I hated people with kids (Still do actually). I hated those dirty, illness carrying, little bastards.

The doctor talked me out of it. I went back the next year, he talked me out of it again. I've been too busy to press the issue because of my work. I turned 29 this year. I found myself telling my wife how cool I thought it would be to have a kid and be able to teach them things and watch them grow. My wife was horrified because when we married we both agreed to never have kids. But then a few weeks ago she said she had been thinking about it and thinks maybe it would be something she would like to do.

I'm not saying we are going to have kids, I'm just saying I'm glad I didn't get my nuts all cut up.

On top of that I had a friend of mine have a botched surgery. The doctor claims everything went 100%, but now he is pre-mature every single time he tries to get it on. He claims the surgery ruined his sex life and is suing the doctor. I can't see how the surgery would cause this problem, but he insists it did.

Yeah, all very valid points. I have more reasons then simply the ones I list in this thread, and while it's always possible my mind could change I haven't wanted to have kids from as far back as I can remember. I don't like them, and do not ever want that responsibility. It's a risk I'm taking sure, but there are always risks with life.

Also, I enjoy swinging and am always scared to death of "what if she gets preg?" I don't want a kid with a girl I'm dating, there is no way in hell I'd want one with a girl who already has a guy.

Anyways, on to the post-visit. The doc talked to me about if I have kids, am I married, and basically said many times "are you sure it's what you want?" He told me risks, and didn't try to convince me not to but he did make sure that it was something that I won't regret later. He had me drop my pants, felt my nuts (weirdest thing ever btw). He then says "I'll do it if it's really what you want", so scheduled the appointment. December 11th I'll be getting some snip snip action going on down there. Five weeks until the procedure, and 4 months after that I'll be good to go (he said "about 15 ejaculations" so that will be what like a week since I'm 23? )

Seriously? Insurance pays out maybe $500 for the outpatient procedure. Giving birth equates to about $25,000 for a routine birth at a hospital. You do the math.

Plus 18 years or more of care for the child.

 

[JD50]

How the hell are these procedures covered under insurance? Sad state of the world it seems

Seems pretty obvious.

 

[nageov3t]

OP makes me really sad.

I guess it's good that you're not going to have kids, but if I were the doctor, I'd have made you get psychiatric clearance first.

Drop your pants, spread your legs, lift your sack...this might sting a little.

Reminds me of this joke:

A man has a beloved camel who he can't bring himself to have neutered, but when he hears that a neutered camel can last many weeks longer in the desert without water, he decides to look into it.

Walking through the marketplace one day he comes upon a sign outside a shop "Camels Neutered - No Pain!" Delighted, he brings his camel to the shop and pays for the service. The shopkeeper sets his stool next to the camel, then brings out two bricks which he smashes together, crushing the camel's testicles. The beast screams a near human yell and falls over on its side.

Horrified, the owner shouts "What did you do! You said there was no pain!!"

The shopkeeper looks at him calmly and says, "And there isn't, as long as you don't get your thumbs caught between the bricks."

Happy vasectomy shopping!

Oh, yeah the doc prescribed me a valium and darvacet to take an hour before the procedure. Should be a fun day haha

 

[D1gger]

Had my "V" done 16 years ago and have never looked back. I had already had my kids by that point, but knew I wanted to make sure there were never any "mistakes".

The procedure is simple and I drove myself to the appointment and home (on a Friday afternoon). I spent a quiet weekend watching TV and playing video games, with a bag of frozen peas in my crotch when I had a few twinges.

Back to work on Monday and never had any problems.

My only complaint was that the doctor wouldn't write a prescription for constant BJ's from my wife to complete the process.

I bitched 'till they gave me Percocet.

I had it done when I was 29 and it's a piece of cake but make sure to follow the "take it easy" orders.

Like Boomer, I had a friend who didn't follow instructions and came back to work the next day.

We worked in a steel mill and took showers at the end of the shift.

I had no idea a person's body part could swell that much without bursting!

His testicles were about the size of a tennis balls and all black 'n blue....it was just shocking and painful to even look at....I still can't believe it!

I'm pretty sure I had to 'shave'.

Good Luck!

Appointment is this Friday at 3 pm (12/11). Looking forward to it, and have some frozen peas in the freezer. I also have a few TV shows for me to watch (V, Flash Forward, Heroes, White Collar, etc), and since this week is finals week school will be out . Also have L4D2 that can keep me busy when I'm not sleeping or watching tv. I'll post an update after the procedure.

 

[RoloMather]

Could always just freeze your sperm if you ever want a kid down the line.

 

[Sea Moose]

Go see a Doctor ASAP. Do you have a phone book? Then you can find a doctor.

meh, you could use the phone book to perform the vasectomy....

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

1) I'm too cheap to pay for that (even though IIRC it's pretty cheap)
2) I'm too against kids of my own

 

[Red Squirrel]

Check a couple DIY sites, there's fairly easy ways of getting it done. You might want to practice on sheep first until you get it good. See "dirty jobs" for a good tutorial.

Hahaha funny you should mention that, one of my friends wants to go out Thursday night to drink and play pool as a "goodbye party"

Okay, so now I'm actually getting kind of worried about something happening and my junk getting permanently messed up.

This is no time to chicken-out.

It's a piece of cake and a very safe procedure.

I shot the shit with the nurse while the Doc was busy snipping.

Try for a script of Vicodin/Percocet for those recovery pains.

Lots of people getting sick in hospitals now a days... can't imagine what a Staph infection in your junk would do to your sex life.
