    Vas team high five.

    I just don’t like kids and the spouse has a genetic disease so it’d be 50/50 if the kids had it.

          Worst part for me was my kids jumping on me while I was still healing. Otherwise truly no big deal

          Don’t be. You’ll be sore for a few weeks, but the operation is less than an hour in total and doesn’t hurt a lot. Once you’re healed, its amazing to not have to worry about “accidents”…

            Really glad it made your life better and it def seems very safe by medical and popular standards.

            I’m a scaredy cat, myself:

            A tiny little fraction of guys experience chronic pain, then a fraction of those still experience pain after reversal.

            Same as LASIK (small percentage experience dry eyes for the rest of their lives): I couldn’t live with myself if it went south and I didn’t NEED it in the first place.

            But great for many use cases!
