zandy01 3,575 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well I'm going for "the snip" next week and in all honesty I'm not looking forward to it at all Dr told me it's very easy and quick procedure and they're knocking me out but I'm more concerned about the days/weeks later for recovery... I've taken 5 days off work which includes "D day" and I'm hoping to be out mooching/walking the whippet with them days but unsure if wise idea or is it best to use them days for rest/recovery ??? I know I'm not going hunting with the rifle and jumping fences for couple weeks ha ha... Also is there much pain/discomfort afterwards ??? Any help or advice appreciated from Lads that's been there and done it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Most lads I know who had it done were fine after the first week. I knew one lad who tried to be a hero & go back to manual labour the day after & payed heavily haha... Looks like I'll be having it done after we knock this one out, two's enough at our age :-) Edited June 2, 2015 by Accip74 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brewman 1,190 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've had it. Hope to be going out for a mooch with the dogs' I laughed at that. Don't do anything to strenuous would be my advice. I had to take 4 weeks off due to an infection. The gp asked if the consultant mentioned any complications and tut tutted when I said no. Feckin sore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
