Planned Parenthood Great Plains is holding a free two-day vasectomy clinic next month, and all the spots filled up in less than 48 hours.
Went in, doctor numbed my balls without an injection, opened with laser, snip snip, cauterized the ends, clip on as a safety, apply some glue to close the openings, 10 minutes total, here’s a Coke to put some sugar in you, buhbye!
Fuck man mine was 4k good for these guys
Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
This is going to sound condescending but i mean it. Good for you for being happy for these dudes instead of upset about it.
Too many times (especially recently) i see people angry that others get something they didn’t. Its nice to see and restores my faith in humanity when i read things or hear things like your comment.
Thanks man, i really needed that.
I wanted to say the same thing about being happy for others. A lot of people I know got super angry about student loan forgiveness. The forgiveness wasn’t even full forgiveness, and it never even went through for most people, but they still found a way to complain about how nobody deserved forgiveness because when they were in school in prehistoric times they paid their way through and people today are just lazy and pick worthless majors.
Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
That just means you still paid for it, but with extra steps. Namely, premiums being taken out of your paycheck and a lower gross salary to cover the “employer’s portion”.
Very astute of you to know how insurance works. Thanks for contributing positively to a discussion instead of trying to point out an obvious way things work in life.
The lucky part is that the insurance actually paid for it.
I ended up being one of those people who needs more numbing than normal people, which is not the most pleasant thing to learn during your vasectomy.
That said, even after 4 separate breaks to apply more lidocaine, I had a super smooth experience and was pain free after the first day. Had to force myself to take it easy for a week, and didn’t even need ibuprofen. Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
I know what you’re trying to say, but that’s not an especially high bar to hurdle. :)
do you have ADHD by any chance?
lidocaine is sometimes ineffective for people with ADHD.
I also found out lidocaine was ineffective for me while they were cutting out a birthmark
Well, I’ll be damned. Also, if you’re a woman with adhd and are PMSing, apparently lidocaine has about a 25%effectiveness rate.
Wild.
yeah it was a wild experience, cuz I felt the blade cutting me, but I was like, surely just my mind playing games, then I started going into shock (according to the nurse) I was white and could-sweating so they upped the dose and still felt most of it, I usually felt pain at the dentist too, then I started mentioning that I have issues with the “standard” numbing agent because I forgot the name and since then going to the dentist is a breeze, get the stuff, get numb, stuff is done.
This explains a lot. I’ve had dentists baffled that I could still feel anything during a procedure.
Wanted one since I was 18, finally got it at 36. Couldn’t be happier
You know those water balloon toys with the hose hook up? It fills about 20 small water balloons and you have to sorta jiggle the hose to get the balloons to slide off.
Well, it felt like the doctor was pulling a hose on a mini version if this inside my boys.
Was legit horrible experience.
Don’t let anyone fool you. Sooooo glad it’s done.
I don’t know man, that doesn’t seem right. During my procedure, the actual “surgery”, I felt almost nothing.
I DID however, have intense soreness for several days after. But the procedure wasn’t bad.
Conclusion full agree - so much freedom, would do again, 5/5.
My experience was pretty similar to yours. Really no pain and recovery wasn’t even that bad.
Got mine about a year ago. Way less painful than I expected. Totally worth it.
Hopefully the lifted truck driver riding my ass is heading over there
