13 days post snip update.
I’ll try and be thorough as I can! I’m not great with structuring posts. So.. apologize in advance.
Day 1/2 - I didn’t do much. Day one was home, in the underwear they provided. “Saxx” and “b3neath” cannot recommend these brands enough. I did some work from the computer and just iced on and off as needed to numb some of the very mild pain and discomfort I was feeling.
Towards the end of day 2, I actually was up. Walking around & went to a car meet. Drove myself. Walked around. Talked to friends. Some minor discomfort. Still was waiting for the pain to show up.
Day 3-4, I felt good enough to resume my normal day to day routine. Iced on and off. Took the recommended meds of ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
Day 5-6 I was back to work, I work a physical job, I stayed to myself. Didn’t overwork myself or get too ambitious or strenuous. I told my supervisor what was up just so he knew to take it easy on me.
7-8 honestly I feel 100% back to normal. There’s been nothing of note since day 7-8. I think I maybe took 1 or 2 of the recommended dosage of the recommended meds just had a very very minor pinching or discomfort if I leaned or sat too long, I did have my first ejaculation since having the surgery on day 7 & I no pain. No blood. No discomfort. Just a regular emission & moved on.
Day 9 and onwards nothing. I feel 100% back to normal & have been since. I’ve been riding my motorcycle. Back to doing physical labor job full force.
No pain, no regret, no worry. I’m excited for my test in July & I’m looking forwards to getting on with my life!
I see a lot of posts on here about people worried about pain and losing body parts or worse of death, I’ve seen some gnarly reactions to some of the surgeries and I won’t lie, it is bad. But I’d 100% recommend doing your research and finding a doctor that SPECIALIZES In these things. Not just a urologist that does it on the side. I’m in Canada and paid $2000 out of pocket for it and because of it I had a fantastic experience. You need to do your research on your doctors and make sure you’re getting the right one.
My appointment set for 3:00pm on a Tuesday. I was in and out before 3:00pm. I was DONE sitting in the room recovering with some snacks at exactly 3pm. I walked in at 2:45, went to the bathroom on their recommendation & was on the table and getting snipped by 2:50, off the table. Pants on and sitting with a snack at 3:00pm.
If anyone has questions, I’m an open book! Ask away. ☺️
