What's the lowdown? Are there different types of procedures? Any long-term side effects?
And how exactly do you pick a good urologist??

It hurts like hell for a few hours especially if they don't let you fill pain med prescription ahead of time. No long term affects. Short term affects are brief intense pain and not having to do chores for about a week.
As for urologists, ask around.

Find a reputable urology group, see how many they do. It’s a quick outpatient procedure.
I did mine 5/6 years ago. I’m a big baby, hate needles and blood. Nerves were the worst part, was over quick. Discomfort for a few days.

Wait until the NCAA Basketball tournament to do it. Then you can sit in front of the tv with a bag of peas for a couple days without getting an earful from the one who made you get snipped in the first place.
Had it done a year or so ago. A little uncomfortable but was really surprised that it wasn't more painful. Doctor was talking to me about football while working so that was a little weird. Big key is to stay off your feet for a couple of days like they recommend. You feel well enough to do more than you should and that tends to lead to more aching.
I picked my doctor by recommendation of a neighbor.

Yep. plenty of BOFITC to make sure the procedure took.And then you get to go back in a week or so and give them a "sample" to test.
AKA, "the Cromartie test"And then you get to go back in a week or so and give them a "sample" to test.
I'm supposed to do it this year as well. See if your doc offers a 2fer deal
I was thinking Hold hands during the procedure
Wouldn’t it be a 4fer deal?
So, had to google BOFITC, and the top search result includes a 2009 thread by @NDallasRuss . Props.

I don't remember it being particularly painful. I obeyed all the rules. Didn't move off the couch for anything other than using the bathroom and going to bed for the whole weekend. No lifting anything heavier than my junk the next week.
One recommendation - they offered me a Xanax or something beforehand. It worked well, I couldn't give a crap what she was doing down there. Chatted away the whole time.

I had it done at the same time as an umbilical hernia repair so that I'd be out cold for the procedure. It wasn't that bad, I don't do well on prescription pain meds so I got a 1/5th of Jack Daniels and a bunch of cowboy movies and holed up in the guest room for the weekend away from the wife and kids. Kept a strong drunk - to - nap schedule between watching Clint Eastwood gun suckers down. All in all, not a bad weekend.
The Wolfpack fan at work is on the calendar during March Madness. That is apparently peak snip season.
Every time I hear about getting snipped, I think of this scene. Props to anyone who knows the movie from the image.
I have been thinking about it as well, so replying to see updates.

It can take months to get cleared so don’t expect to be sterile too quickly. I assumed it was immediate but them boys will still swim upstream
Find a good doctor and have them prescribe some meds to calm you down before. Not going to lie there was one or two touchy moments when they shot the coin purse up with anisthetic, but all in all it was a breeze and recovery was easy. I realized afterwards that I never even took off my sunglasses... the Valiums were kicking in as I walked into the office and I was straight throwing daps to the staff on my way in and again on my way out. In my mind it was about like this:
Exactly, I forgot to say anything to the wife when they called my name - just popped up and headed thru the door. She had to call me back to wish me luck. I was flying.
Don't take any aspirin fur up to a week prior or you'll be black snd blue long sfter the scsr heals.
OMG my sister and I said if we were guys and that creep came in the room, we'd RUN. Hope he's not related to anyone on this board - sorry.Creepy stare stein maybe able to help. Do dudes actually look at this guy’s mug and say “yeah he’s the guy”?
LOL. Memo to file: If you see a “professional” advertising on a billboard, city bus, or taxi cab, run the other way. Even if they don’t have huge eyebrows.
The whole thing was pretty simple, I could have worked 2 days later if I had to and my job is pretty physical. I guess the worst part was I am friends with the doctor and see him at church. Seeing a guy who touched your junk and did the snip on you is a bit odd. Also didn't help that his nurse who took my sample a month or so later I know as well. Odd feeling handing her the sample. As far as odd procedures in the man part area I had to have a small device stuck up my uretha; so to blood in my urine. Then they flush with sterile water. It actually wasn't as bad as I excepted but it feels really odd and even the visual feels weird.
I had mine done 25 years ago. The worst pain for me was when they stuck the needle into the Vas Deferens. The snip itself was no big deal, but when he was tying the knot in the string, I thought he would turn me inside out through the scrotum. The wife helped out with the "sample".
The entire hospital staff where I got mine done are customers of mine, I know the Urologist, he's good friends with my FIL, and the General Surgeon that did the Hernia and I go hunting and fish together, our kids are in the same school. I knew every nurse in the room.
Now they've all seen my junk. I'm not bragging, but I'm actually more popular in the hospital now.
I hear you. On one of my military networking sites someone posted a photo or our PA and 2 medics I was friends with. My comment was wow all 3 of those dudes have seen me naked. Our PA in the Ranger Bn was world famous, cover of Time Magazine during Vietnam etc. When I was training for selection I got a hernia and went to him to check it out. He had a bunch of medics shadowing him that day and asked if he could show the hernia to them. No one says no to Doc Donovan and then he proceeds to bring in like 12 people, including several females. I was like awesome it is a party and he commences to have them all feel the bulge etc. That will humble you quickly
I’m contemplating this after our second child is born in June. Luckily for me, my wife’s a urology nurse and I can just go to her office.
Ever drive by and think I don’t know if I want to brag about seeing 17,000 nut sacks.Creepy stare stein maybe able to help. Do dudes actually look at this guy’s mug and say “yeah he’s the guy”?
No, I think $3000 times 17,000 is around 5 million bucks to do snip jobs.
He could afford to have the barber trim his eyebrows when he gets a haircut.
