Vas on Tuesday, on the couch all day on Wednesday, back at work on Thursday. Reversal on Thursday, off on Friday, in bed all weekend, back at work (too soon) on Monday….

I went house hunting with a realtor exactly one week after my vas. This entailed driving around and exploring about 15 houses/day for several days. Over those few days I took many steps gingerly but managed to survive. I’m guessing the 2-3 day rest period would suffice for most people but I’d prefer at least 3-5 days before any mandatory work. Using a jock strap for the first couple of weeks makes a huge difference.

Why the reversal, might I ask?

I had mine done on the Thursday, and was back to work on the Monday. My job at the time involved a fair amount of driving, and movement in between. It just depends on what he does at his job, and how it goes on the day. There isn’t a right or wrong way to approach this, and I do know that not all bosses/jobs are particularly accomodating. But it might be an idea to let the boss know that he is having it done, and say he intends to be back on the Monday. But pre-warn him that it may be necessary to take more time off so that the boss can plan accordingly. David www.vasectomy-information.com

I think David gave a great suggestion. I had mine a few weeks ago and it was 5 days before I could stay on my feet for long periods of time without major discomfort. A couple of more days before I would even think about doing any type of manual labor for work. If he’s just on his feet lke in sales or something, then that’s one thing. In that case he could probably suck it up and be back to work on Monday no problem. But if he’s doing any lifting/labor etc then I surely wouldn’t want to be him that Monday : ) Really though from the people I’ve spoken with, I was in the minority in terms of recovery – most guys it seems are back to work right away.

This question finally caused me to look at a calendar. I thought I had the op on a Friday. In fact, it was a Thursday. I took the next day off, then had 2 more to recover before going back to work. My job is mostly at a desk, with occasional trips up and down stairs for various meetings. The stairs were a challenge the first few days back (although a jockstrap helped). I’d say if he has to do any serious body work he should leave himself the option of taking the Monday off, as David says. (And he should certainly ice down right after the op and wear a jockstrap: this will keep down swelling and make for a quicker recovery. Plus, he should continue wearing the strap to work till he feels he’s back to 100%: the strap takes the fear out of stairs, among other things!) trifold www.vasectomy-information.com – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Karen Ray-Stewart wrote: > How long were you off work for after your vasectomy ??

Karen, Like your husband’s job, mine can require long hours on my feet. Luckily, I was able to stay at a desk most of the time immediately after my procedure, and I could sit down whenever I became uncomfortable. I could feel irritation developing after walking too much the week after the operation. Even moderately strenuous lifting and exertion was out of the question. Occasionally, it caused intense pain. If your husband doesn’t have the latitude to get off of his feet as needed, I’d recommend at least a week off. Regards, Ferdinand

Oh…long story… short story is I drew the PVP lottery, much to my uninformed amazement and chagrin. Reversal was after 2.5 years of chronic testicular pain. See my story at www.vasectomy-information.com in the reversal section, Steve and Lisa….

Hey Retro, This has got to be a record on several "fronts" I ejac’ed the first night–but not after only 5 hours! And 2 weeks for the all clear is really good time. You must have had a lot of good times getting there that fast. BTW, which procedure did you have. And did you have to give 2 clear samples, or just one? trifold www.vasectomy-information.com c

How long were you off work for after your vasectomy ?? Dh is wondering how long he will need to be off… at the first appointment we went to the dr. said he would do it on a Friday and he would be right back to work on Monday. DH is concerned though because with his job he is on his feet for 7 hours straight. Karen
