Yes i calmly had it done, there were some blokes in the waiting room bricking it 😐

I must say i was ok till the surgeon came in and took 5 mins putting his gloves on. Then i sweated a bit..

Must say though it's a piece of piss, it took about 10 mins max, and i had a female nurse 8)

I only have slight discomfort, i was expecting far worse.

Thats all.

My surgeon thoughtfully told me to stay still as he had a very sharp knife in his hands and didn't want to cut himself 😯

My advice is don't go shopping in the Trafford centre the day afterwards unless you want to bleed to death (this may be a slight over statement).

Take it easy, have to say I had very little discomfort afterwards, colleague had it done at the same time wa simpersonating John Wayne for a bout week after his though.

Had it done on Nov 5th (not with an airbomb). Everything OK now.

Did a 2 hour walk less than 48 hours after. It really isn't that bad at all.

Had first bike ride since earlier today and smacked my teabags on the nose of the saddle whilst messing up a rocky bit. Suffering a bit as a result! 😯

I had the snip years ago. Out of the hospital at 11am, had a shag at 2pm to make sure it all still worked ok.

OK here is a question about the snip. Do your sports centres carry on making swimmers? If they do, then doesn't it get very congested at that end of the pool?

Your body absorbs them apparently. The sticky stuff still comes out though, just not 'live'

Had two weeks ago yesterday!!!
My advice is take it easy for a week !!!!
Then start to get about a bit.
Had my first BIKE ride yesterday after 2 weeks felt ok!!!

In a few days you will feel like some tw&t has kneed you in the B011ocks

But it does ease!!!

I found a couple of icepacks down the crackers for a couple of days worked for me. Although I looked a little odd. Don't do anything too energetic too quickly. I did a bit of light gardening after a couple of days and an hour or so later it hurt like hell.

Flip, I felt great like you. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Fastforward 6 days and my left nut became swollen. I new something was up when it was shiny and the size of a small orange. Pain was horrendous to be honest. Turns out I'd picked up a 'rare' infection - apparently a 1 in 50 probability. Took a good 5 weeks until it was normal. Went for a ride after about 6 weeks. Sorry to put that element of potential worry in your mind.

How random, had this conversation with the wife tonight! She was moaning about womens things playing up, I offered up (but not really meaning it) about having my bollox snatched, yeah that's an idea she said!!! 😯 I didn't really mean it! Gulp!

Keyhole quickie hey!!
Hope it works for you, I ended up having to have it done 'properly' under general anesthetic.
Having had it done twice I would say that the 3rd day of recovery is the worst,enjoy 😆 😉

Did you not get your dick tapped to your gut? WTF were the condoms for, are you super excitable?

I rode my bike the next day, only on road though, I was 38 with two sprogs, still only got the two thankfully.

My surgeon told me that keyhole was a bad idea as it was harder to work on something you couldn't see properly, he also said sorry when the anesthetic didn't work & I felt the first slice big time....

Everything else was cool.

Enjoy!

I had no real pain once the surgeon realised he hadn't put quite enough anaesthetic in before he applied the soldering iron - I hadn't felt the slice, just the cauterising thingy. How I yelped!

Only problem I had was the scab where he had cauterised the wound closed kept coming off and took about 3 weeks to finally heal over, which was really annoying as I had no aches or pain after the first day.

Top tip though - don't be the first one on a cold plastic bench on a cold winters day in a room where they have only just turned the heater on. Otherwise it soon becomes a case of "micro surgery" rather than keyhole!

You'll be alright. I'm at Snip+19 days and managed a reasonable road ride last night, stitch tails are gone and "The Twins" are back to their magnificent best (apart from being de-commissioned).
