terence pinder:
subject says it all. i had it done about 2 weeks ago. the reasin im telling you guys is dont listen to the horror stories, if youve been thinking about it no worries it is relatively painless. and i didnt even get general anesthetic, i went for the local so i was awake the whole time. they rolled me into the operating room at 3 o clock out by 3;30 and on my way homeby 4. and then by 5 i was out fighting an oilwell fire (im a volunteer firefighter) i was told a lot of scary stuff  that isnt true and wanted to let everyone know it isnt that bad

mrkinsey:
Yeah right, buddy.  I got it done in March and didn't heal totally until May.  It all depends on your personal physiology.  I have a very rare form that required the doctor to do a lot of tugging, and digging, and all done under local anaesthetic.  I am glad that you don't have a horror story.

terence pinder:
i guess i got lucky then, i never really felt any pain just minor discomfort for an hour or so

Brock:
had mine done 17 years ago....all went fine but I deployed to GTmo three days later.  Over the next two weeks I swelled up like plums.  Got infection from doing too much too soon I was told...antibiotics and lots of tender care...and healed up in no time....but took a while before back to normal.

overall, best thing I ever did.....no regrets. LOL

mullet:
 I heard it was fast and cheap to drink a six-pack, hang it out and get a buddy to pull the ol' screen door back as far as it would go. Scream as loud as you could so you couldn't hear that spring tightening back up when the door made that loud, "KAWACK'. And it was done in seconds, and no Health Bill paper work. ;D
