In some ways surgeons are like tradies . . . they adjust their quote depending on the size, and attractiveness of the job . . . ;)

There is no benefit in regard to the visa process.

Family planning is your business not that of emigration.

Its the bit about samples that bothers me - not the giving of but the sorting it all out etc!!

Tips...

1) Practice walking like you've just got off a horse.
2) get the ice on early ( before you've swap balls with an elephant )
3) Tell the existing kids that Daddy is not a trampline for a few weeks
4) Don't read the 'what can go wrong' websites

Who did it for you the local vet ;)

Or was it like one of the trainee hair dressers.

Paid $150 and I thought that was good value, they guy had done 25000 of them though so worth the extra $75.

You didn't think long and hard about that one ;):lol:

Hubby had his done in the UK prior to coming out - oo er missus :D But he had enough time for the samples to be taken and get the results. If you don't, I'd leave it and get it done here. We had to go to a party a day after he had it done and he was surrounded by guys all night, getting him drinks and telling me what a hero he was! Muppets :sneaky: I mentioned that if he were to pass a medicine ball through his penis after carrying it against his bladder for 9 months I may consider hero worship but for a minor snip - nah.;)

Getting mine done in Feb before going out in June: have been advised to get general anaesthetic.

Apparently the experience of being pulled off the operating table by enthusiastic surgeon is one to avoid whilst awake..........:eek:

Still SWMBO had two caesars and I had to walk her to the shower the following day on each occasion....:cry_smile:

That month I shall be mostly wearing speedos.......and kids are banned from coming within 2 yards of me.....

Have it done in Aus.

Odds are the place that you rent or buy will have a tiled laundry floor.After the snip you can sit and rest your plums.I was in the laundry for about 5 day's.I ate flat fish and pizza.It was the only food that would slide under the door.
Best of luck
I feel for you.
