I'm calling BS on that. I had a high resistance to Lidocaine (he use 3x the regular amount). Apparently what my stones lacked in size they more than made up for in nerve endings. After the nurse went all "Zodiac Killer" on my nuts and the quack Ginsu'ed my vas deferens I walked like Fred Sanford for the next 8 days. The highlight of those 8 days was making love to a bag of frozen peas. Oh yea, that rewards card has an expiration date also.
The doc did say I had one of his rougher procedures. All that to say not everybody's experience goes well.

Frozen vegetables were the savior for me too. I alternated a bag about every hour or two, refroze one while I used the other then made a big pot of vegetable soup the next day.
Minimal Invasive? felt like a small pop with a rubber band. Better than w/o one.
I am pretty sure that you had a truly bad experience. Sucks for you but someone has to be the exception

what if you have 3?
How much do they charge for 3?
You will never 'unsee this photo' either...

I've talked to several guys who have had the procedure who ended up getting their wives pregnant.
From talking to friends who'd had it done, I thought it would be like a root canal - painful while it's being done, painful the rest of the day, but then mostly all better the next day. Instead mine was only mildly uncomfortable while being done (physically, at least - there were certain humiliating aspects of it I won't go into), mildly uncomfortable the rest of the day (I popped some Advil and didn't need frozen vegetables), but then it stayed mildly uncomfortable for about a week. Hard to describe other than you were constantly aware of where the boys were every waking moment. But after about a week it was smooth sailing.
B/C Most refuse to go back for the sperm sample test
And, no, I am not kidding. The doctor told me that while I was there. There is a chance that the tubes will randomly reconnect after surgery during the first 90 days. Its something like a 1 in 300 chance. After 90 days, the odds are like 1 in 1.5M. But, if you do not go back and give them your sperm sample after 90 days, they cannot verify and call you officially 'sterile'. Most guys are too damn full of themselves to get the wife to jerk you off in a cup and then walk into an office with a cup of sperm. Hell, I thought it was hilarious to give the cute piece of *** behind the counter my cup.

Basically the same here. That's why I advise truly tight jockeys. I made the mistake of just getting some tighty whiteys but they weren't snug enough. You have to truly allow for no movement in there or you will get some swelling and true discomfort. But, again, 1 year later, best money I ever spent. And insurance pays like 80%. I think I paid $180 out of pocket. And the doc will always offer you some 'little blue pills' just in case you need any help the first few times post.
Agreed. I wore the stuff I usually wear when I'm running the whole time I was on the mend. I think the other key to a smooth recovery is not overdoing it - my doc told me for the first cpl days don't do ANYthing but stand, sit, walk and lie down - no heavy lifting, cutting the grass, etc. Every horror story I heard usu. involved somebody who tried to clean out their gutters (not a euphemism) the next day or something.
Mine was a piece of cake, did it on Friday a.m. and went back to work on Monday. A friend however, got an infection and a week later had balls the size of grapefruits and dared anybody to even sneeze in the same room it hurt so bad.
Had mine done at UMC, went in early and laid on the table, and laid, and laid. Finally this big 300+ lb nurse asst came in and shaved me. Kept laying there for awhile longer and was told the Dr had complications w/ another procedure and his partner would end up doing mine. 15 minutes later a gorgeous ginger urologist walks in. Its a good thing it was about 50 degrees in that room because otherwise while doing her inspection of the subjects of the visit I'm afraid there may have been shall we say an escalation in my blood pressure.

Bingo ...
BEST advise period. Day of and day after ... do not exert yourself. Go to the couch, watch tv and the vegtables work like a charm.
