Was it painful during the procedure, and did they use a scalpel, or was it non-scalpel?
I made the mistake of watching a video of the procedure and I can honestly say that I'm freaked.
This is the way it worked for me:
1. Go to urologist with wife, tell her what we want.
2. Get asked the question, are you both sure this is what you want, and we told her that yes, this is what we both want.
3. Get appointment scheduled, and get a prescription for 1 Xanax.
4. Thirty minutes before getting to the office, pop the Xanax. I need to stress that this has to be the biggest pill I have ever seen in my life.
5. Pull over 10 minutes after taking largest Xanax pill I've ever seen as I suddenly realize I'm in no condition to drive.
6. Listen to wife say, I told you so, as we pull away from the curb with her now driving.
7. Realize I don't care that the wife is saying that she told me so.
8. Get to the office, and go into the room to have the procedure done. Strip to nothing below the waist.
9. Sit in chair and put my feet up in stirrups. Suddenly realize that there are 4-5 strangers operating on me while I'm naked below the waist. Also realize that I really don't care.
10. After 45 minutes, it's done. Doc reminds me that I can walk normally with a smile on her face. Wife tells me I'm walking like a cowboy after a long horseback ride on the range.
But seriously, yes, she used a scalpel and no, there was no pain at all. There was a bit of discomfort but no pain. I took it easy for about 3-4 days and was back to normal after that.
