Oddly enough, I'm sitting here in the same boat.Just got snipped this morning.No pain either, but I never even gave it a chance since the second the Vicodin hit the house it hit my stomach.UPDATE- It is done.Procedure complete about 2 hours ago. Peas on the boys right now. No pain yet, but the local is still in effect. Advil and anti-inflammotory taken right after. No need for the Vicodin... yet.I go for mine tomorrow at noon.

It wasn't that bad now, was it? I think I will forgo the Vicodin tonight for some drinks with the wife after the kiddos are in bed. 
2/10;-)
Spoke too soon. I now have a marble in there in addition to the regular boys!Oddly enough, I'm sitting here in the same boat.Just got snipped this morning.UPDATE- It is done.Procedure complete about 2 hours ago.

Any last advice?

Same day as mine. I guess we can both report back the same day.
Listen about taking it easy for 2 / 3 days. I was out coaching my kids baseball team the next day because I felt fine. By the time the game was done, they were probably both twice the size they should have been. It probably added about 4-5 days to my recovery.
Update?
Someone should have introduced you to cocoa butter.
Stay off your feet. I know a guy that wanted to show how tough he is after his snip job. Decided the next morning to drive 20 miles to Home Depot and buy some paving stones. Had to call his wife to come pick him up. She had to bring a neighbor with her to drive his truck back.
Awesome.Conversely my Pop called me a ##### for taking it easy. Allegedly he hit the bar a few floors down immediately following and then went to play basketball.
Actually a vascular surgeon did mine. I'm pretty cool but not cool enough to give myself a vasectomy.
No, but I asked the doc all about this stuff beforehand, so there wasn't anything for me to worry about. I thought I was well informed going in, but after my questions, I realized I was pretty ignorant about the whole thing.Seriously, this is not a big deal. At all. Any guy that would make his wife get fixed instead of doing this minor procedure is being a jerk. Having a tooth pulled hurts WAY more than this procedure. Stubbing your toe hurts worse than this.
Yeah, mine wasn't so bad. I mean I was uncomfortable for a while, but damn, jcole's doc musta kicked him in the boys.Good heavens. Hopefully the OP didn't read this. Had mine done at the end of December and I'm enjoying the benefits of the procedure already. Almost a non-event pain wise, just some very brief discomfort. Was feeling so good 24 hours later that I had to be careful not to overdo things. It's likely people have different experiences since there are so many urologists out there.
Only thing I remember is a little "tugging" and the smell of flesh burning. Not much pain after, just kind of a "headache in my balls" feeling. Frozen pees FTW.
I believe the docs suggest you wait more than "a few days" as you can damage incisions and/or cause bleeding. Also, there'll be "boys" in your system for a lot longer than you'd think. You need to go back to the doc with a sample and get tested before you get after it unprotected. I know a couple of guys who got v's and never got tested. What's the point of getting a v then? I got tested after like 6 or 8 weeks and was still positive. Waited another month, went back, and was good to go.Get tested.
how does that even work?
It's magic...Hell I don't know. All I know is that I had it done. Whether it was no scalpel, I can't say right now. It was completely painless, other than the very little stings of the snaps of the anesthesia.
I just took the band-aid off this morning. There is a very small "hole" with one or two very tiny stitches. As far as the no scalpel procedure, based on the links, they make a tiny hole with very sharp instrument. Through that hole, he made the cuts necessary, and was done. Very quick, and other than the "snaps", I felt absolutely nothing, as far as pain goes.I'm back to work today, but not doing a whole lot... just sitting around as much as possible.
Clipped on Thursday, and it wasn't as bad as I assumed. 40 yrs old, 2 wives (only one current), and 4 healthy kids - it was time.
. The shots are the worst part by far, and no major swelling or evidence of the dreaded 3rd ball yet. Advise - bring the wife so she can watch. I think it helps the sympathy cause, which might get more assistance while recovering.
of 2 guys tugging @ your junk here's my funny story. I guess they clean tissue / membrane away from the vas prior to cutting it. one doc was doing the work, while the other was 'mentoring'. well, they were diligently doing their thing, when I looked down to check the progress. The mentor doc blurts out "just keep working it Dave". 
Happy to report that after I had convinced myself via the internet that something had gone wrong with my procedure, time worked its wonders and I haven't felt any effects of the procedure at all for well over a year (don't remember exactly when the pain stopped, but it did).Loving the wake up sex lately - very glad I had this procedure done.Hope all went well, and that you're kicking back today with some frozen peas and a Vicodin or two.I had a vasectomy done about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and it is definitely taking longer for mine to heal than I think most people experience. One side is completely fine, but I'll still feel a shooting sensation about once a day - not really enough to call pain - but enough to know that I had some surgery down there.
I also think that one of my snipped tubes has somehow healed to where the incision was - which is also kind of strange, and it led me to start scouring the internet for potential complications with vasectomies - which is NOT a very good thing to do if you've just had the procedure done.
However, I did find a site that was pretty informative if you have questions about how you're healing, or are wondering if something you're experiencing is "normal" or not.

This is the "Ask the Doctor" section, which I frankly found much more informative than a call to the nurse line at my urologist.
Here's to a speedy recovery!
Some type of a trainee program?
Ice and Motrin - didn't get any vicodin
2 guy docs performed mine, and aside from the general
Oh, and mentally prepare yourself for the "shaft lasso" - where they used a rubberband and hemos to keep things out of the way.
Also, anyone in Denver, CO looking to get this done - and paying for it themselves - PM me for a VERY inexpensive solution. I 'donated' $100 to the clinic, and it could have been free. Think of it as a state/county tax refund of about $700.
That would make me nervous as hell.Hope you have a speedy recovery, and 3 or so months from now you're enjoying the results of your procedure.
Wha... ??!?For those considering the no scalpel option, don't fool yourself into thinking they aren't putting a hole in your sack (2, to be more accurate). They most certainly are. Whatever the method, they need to get in there to perform the work.
Ouch!I was able to give the fellas a trial run on the wife the very next day to make sure all the plumbing still worked as it should.
Didn't read the whole thread, so I came in here to vent.
A friend of mine (6'5", 220+, solid muscle, my wife likes to flirt with him), had a vasectomy a few weeks ago on a Thursday. He coaches high school football, and was on the sideline for their game the next evening. He totally ruined my plan of milking the thing for an entire weekend on the couch in front of the TV, unless I'm willing to totally emasculate myself in comparison.
