Unfortunately too busy during March madness. Masters week is the first time in the year I can breathe some.

Man that would be sweet but I doubt my TRS dumpster fire would get me that lucky
TRS insurance just covered 100%of my IUD last month. Sounds about as painful as a vasectomy. If my boyfriend's insurance covers him getting snipped, he's going under the knife too
Easy now Hide the scapel
Still one of the best decisions I've ever made. Love my wife and two kids. But don't want to love any "more" kids!
Tune into the Aggie basketball game and you might understand what it will be like.

March Madness. Make the most of sitting at home. Best decision I ever made.
This is a big thing at most Urology offices nationwide now and it all started in Eugene, Oregon at a clinic I used to call on. Here's a cool article about it:

How will the world deal without little cherrylodes running around??
Both my fiancee and myself have ruled out kids, and get married in March. Master's weekend would be ideal for me.
Anyone with experience here having a doctor do it without already having kids? Have heard there can be some pushback from docs if you aren't already in your late 30s or already have kids. We will both be 30 by the wedding in March.

You'll get pushback but most will do it after they've warned you several times. It's not an end all be all anyhow. Two of my friends who have had it done have had more kids by reversing it or sucking the swimmers right out of the testicle.Buck Compton said:

Glad to hear. Saw his name on this thread and looked him up slog with a few others and seems to be a good choice. Probably go to his clinic in Frisco as it is less than 3 miles from my house.
I hope it is pain free and definitely plan to soak it up to get the full weekend of golf interruption free.

A) 35-40, women who have not had children can get awfully interested in them.
Frankly, so can men.
B) It may not hurt to freeze some semen as a backup plan

I can send you a mouthy 8 year old to help with those urges.
This thread always makes me nauseous.
As mentioned above, at least pay to have a sample of swimmers frozen, because reversals are hit and miss if you end up changing your mind. One of the managers that works for me was an adamant "no kids" gal along with her husband (been married 5-6 years). At age 33, they change their mind and one is now on the way, due in June.Buck Compton said:

In a similar spot myself
Made first call today to get in to meet the doc but was a bit taken back that consult and snip are all in one appt. First available appt is in late Feb but we have vacation in early May - I'm assuming I want to wait until after that.
DON'T DO IT! I'm a physician and I will forever regret doing this. Took years for me to somewhat normalize and I'm still not the same as before. Felt like I was kicked in the nuts every time I organismed (misspelled for your amusement).
Read about it before you do it!

Besides, she's the one definitely done having kids, as a man, you never know.

Made the mistake of opening this thread while in the waiting room this morning.
Went with Dr. Williams. The procedure was painless. We made small talk for 10 minutes and it was over. The hardest part was trying to keep my mind off what was going on down there. The cost was $950 with my high deductible plan.
Preemptively icing the marbles now and wishing there was daytime Olympics coverage on tv.

Good to hear. 10 min? Seems faster than i have heard of. I hope that is the case. I just wish it was over already....wessimo said:

Why would you wait until after? You should call one of the doctors and see if its possible for it to take effect in 2 months...i don't think it is just a time issue...i think there are other things that can speed up the process if you know what i mean...metrag06 said:planoaggie123 said:

This is absolutely hilarious and terrifying at the same time
Need to get snipped but man oh man I'm a little nervous

Did mine a few years ago, easy time. Procedure was on a Monday or tuesday and was walking bourbon street that Friday night before the LSU game.
Only advice, make sure the marriage is in good shape before she signs the paper (for some reason I couldn't approve it on my own?). Ends up I went on that road trip with her sancho and his wife!

Damn
Took my guy three tries over the course of 9 months. Ugh. Had a high deductible insurance plan and just couldn't imagine paying $1500 bucks out of pocket for a procedure that simple when we were only charging about $300 for a C-Section on a cow at the clinic at the time. Did some research and had about decided to do my own vasectomy when a "buddy" who was also an OBGYN offered to do it for no charge if I would take him saltwater fly fishing. Seemed like a good idea at the time.... First time wasn't too bad but the second time I knew what was coming so it made it a lot worse. The third time with the dread of what was coming plus having to cut through all the scar tissue from the previous two times made it miserable but it finally took. 20 mg of Valium and a couple of Red Stripes about an hour prior to the procedure helps. Never, ever barter for a free vasectomy. But I'm sure yours will go fine. Good luck!
No worries on that front for me. A vasectomy is on my short list of things that I will happily pay full price for.bamdvm said:

So I called yesterday and made an appointment. Getting the chop done on March 2nd. A little nervous, but mostly excited at the thought of not having to pay for any more kids.
Had it done about 4 years ago. No scalpel procedure, quick and easy. Like others here it was 10 minutes of small talk and done. A bit uncomfortable in that aspect but not bad. Drove myself home, poured a whiskey drink(on Dr's orders) and proceeded to ice away for 2 days. Only recommendation is to buy compression shorts to combat any sudden jolts, sneezes or coughs for the first week. On a side not my wife waited on me hand in foot that whole weekend. Bringing me food and making fresh whiskey drinks whenever I needed.
Yes. My doctor told me specifically NOT to do this because of this problem. I have some issues that would make this highly likely to me. I've already had pain issues over the years. To have this procedure would be a very bad idea.EyeFixer said:

This is the part I'm looking forward to.
