Russel Williams at Y Factor did me right. Thanks for the recs. Anyone in the Houston area needing a procedure should pay him a visit. Knocked it all out in one visit, no separate BS consultation. Talked football for 10 minutes and then done.

The numbing tool (no needle) pinched a little. Didn't feel a thing other than that. No scalpel, makes just one incision. No cauterizing, he puts on two clamps and then cuts out the middle. No stitches, just glue.

Frozen peas, Tylenol, and Basil Hayden's keeping me feeling fine so far.

Any recs in NB?
Freiha in NB did mine and several buddies. No one has had any issues, but hes about 2 months out on the initial consult.

Just an FYI, not smart to mix acetaminophen (Tylenol) with alcoholic beverages. It's pretty hard on your liver.

Wanting to get this done this fall. Did your insurance cover it? Do you know their cash price?

I initially had to pay a $150 copay and then got it refunded - insurance covered 100%.

Probably because the alternative is slightly more expensive...

I have a HSA and hadn't met my deductible, so my out-of-pocket was around $550 and another $100 to the clinic to make sure the doc knew what he was doing.

Were the clamps steel? My procedure (which was 20 years ago) sounds the same but the "clips" were steel. The problem I had was occasionally I would bend or twist and get a pain like someone just flicked one of the boys dead on. I mean drop you to your knees sharp pain. Went back to the Dr. and he said that would happen until the clips got scar tissue around them - they could get against one and with right twist/pressure push into it. Has this happened to you?

Titanium. Haven't felt anything yet.

I paid $120 out of pocket. They said that was the price of the clips and insurance typically doesn't pay it. I hit my out of deductible already, so no charge other than that. I can PM you how much they bill my insurance once that clears.

1. Snip
2. Cut 1" section out
3. Cauterize
4. Titanium clips

Scheduled it for Friday after Texas state game with Dr. Ruddell.

My son has two baseball games here in town on Saturday so hoping I feel good enough to go sit in the bleachers and watch quietly. Can't put it off any longer or it will have to wait til after deer season.

Nothing to worry about. Piece of cake.
But follow the Doc's orders. If you do and take it easy for a few day with ice, you'll think it seems silly that you're just sitting around. You'll feel as though you could get right back to ordinary life. However, if you don't take it easy for those few days, just know that the painful, grapefruit sized ballsac people have mentioned is very real.

Beyond that, also know that if you're young, life has a way of making major changes sometimes. You could find yourself later in life wishing you could have another child. But, if your certain, go get it done you'll be glad you did.

Anyone ever used the Talley Whacker in San Antonio?
He is an Ag with good reviews.
https://www.urologysanantonio.com/dr-david-talley



Got it done this past Friday with Talley. Good dude, talked Aggie football and Astros for the approximately 7 minutes it took. Worst part was the shots as many have said and even that was minimal. Didn't feel a thing afterwards. Resting on the couch since then with no soreness or discomfort. Not letting the wife and kids know that though because this is the good life.

Had it done Friday, had some minor discomfort but truly nothing too bad. Took advantage of the weekend and watched football on the couch all weekend.

Scheduled mine at Urology of Stone Oak in SA for Jan 2. I'm a wuss and taking the Valium as well as the local. Not too proud to say that

Talley prescribed me 1 Valium and 1 Vicodin to be taken an hour before my procedure. Took them and not ashamed in the slightest. Really mellowed any nerves I had going in.

It's really not that bad. I had mine done just over a year ago, and the 3 things that sucked were:

1. The doctor required me to have someone there to drive me home, and since my wife wasn't able to take off work to be there, I had to ask my mom. She made sure to get in lots of little jokes while we were in the waiting room and showed me a side of her I never wanted to know existed.
2. I thought I prepped the area pretty good. Nope. Had some hot nurse shaving my scrote and taint area down to near my knot. The thoughts I had to think to not go full tilt will forever haunt me.
3. The most awkward thing I've ever done in my life, and I'm 100% certain it will ever be topped, is going to the fertility clinic later to make sure the doc wasn't incompetent. Show up to some little 18 year old spinner who's probably taking classes at the local CC sitting at the front desk to greet me. She asks me if I'll be dropping off the sample or taking care of it there. I tell her I'll be doing it there (didn't know I could drop it off), so she gets some nurse who plays a supermodel on her off days to come get me and take me back...passing the nursing station filled with her fellow Tri Delts. We arrive at a room with a 40" TV, a sink, and a leather recliner with one of those medical pads on it with a cup on top of that. The nurse tells me what each is for (like I didn't know) and then begins to show me how to work the porn machine. Being the good nurse she is, she even showed me some of her favorites. She tells me what to do after and where the exit door immediately to the stairwell is so I can make a quick escape, then she leaves. While she's doing this, you'll be contemplating in your head how much time to take care of this is acceptable...too fast and you'll be labeled a "minuteman" by one of the nurses you'll undoubtedly have a mutual friend with and run into at a party, and too long and they'll think you're some kind of pervert watching all of the porn.

1) your wife owes you big time for not being there and making you deal with your mother when in reality you got snipped so your old lady doesn't have to be on birth control anymore.

2) & 3) these go together because, despite the nurse assisting my urologist being really cute she was not a smokeshow and nor were any of the ladies at the office where I had to go to give samples. Did you ever watch the TV show "Scrubs"? Add about 50 pounds to Nurse Laverne here and you'd have every single one of them only without the warm and caring nature.

With Dr. Sedlak? He did mine over a year ago. Went very well...he's a Penn State grad but likes to talk college football.

I used Dr. Shaw and it was quick and relatively painless. Worst part was the "needless" anesthetic. When the blast hit me, felt like someone had backhand flicked my nuts, just barely grazing them. Other than that, no issues.

Sort of serious question: while you're sitting there icing your marbles/watching football after the deed is done, is there anything wrong with knocking back some adult beverages?

I was on full meds and crush something like 8 IPAs the evening I got it done.
