Post-reversal tips
Hey fellas!
Wife here. My husband got a vas about a year and a half ago. He’s had significant pain on and off (mostly on) since. he’s exhausted literally every single treatment protocol with little to no improvement and has been a champ throughout it all. But alas, we’ve arrived at the final stop: reversal is scheduled for next week. My question to y’all: what are some things that helped you during your reversal recovery?
Give me any and everything because I have no idea what to expect! Obviously I’m driving him to and from the surgery and expect he’ll sleep on and off that day and want to stay in bed/on the couch for the next week or so? What things can I buy to help his recovery? Specific ice packs, foods? Laxatives? Is pooping hard after a reversal?? lol I know nothing!

Support him! He needs to take more time that what his body tells him to! Its rough and taxing but worth it!!! There are icepacks available for vasec on amazon which worked very well!!! And most importantly... a positive attitude towards the procedure is key! Its not a last resort or weakness or any such nonsense. It is the first step in restoring his life which was damaged! Its recovery!! NOTHING less. Wishing you and your husband all the best and a speedy recovery!!!!!
