Congratulations GordonGG !
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date on your surgery.
How did the real thing compare to what you had expected ?
Do you feel any different now ?
Being chemically castrated already probably makes this less of a shock and change for you in mind and body. What advice or observations do you have for the men considering getting this surgery done ?
How was the pain level ? Were you knocked out or awake during your surgery ? Any unexpected things ?
It sounds like it all went really smooth and that you are handling it great and your healing is on track. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and enjoying your new eunuch status.
I hope work goes easy on you as you heal up. Men I ve worked with got light duty assignments after vasectomies for extra days to heal up. Don t be reluctant to ask for light duty as you heal up from your much greater surgery.

Thanks to daifu-orchid, Littledick, and cutnbulls2ox for your sentiments.
I've been through a few surgeries prior to this one, so no nothing really different about this one, just the part of the body that was effected. Don't really feel any different other than the very slight pain.
Yes I was "knocked out" with general anesthesia, the doctor absolutely wouldn't do a local, no way, no how. I tried!
There is no way I'm asking for "light duty" because no body knows about this other than my wife, and I intend to keep it that way. My job is not strenuous at all. I probably sit at my computer 70% of the time. Everything will be fine in that department. Thanks for your concern.
Mentally I'm feeling relieved. It is done! It is final! No more worrying about it, no more Spiro. I honestly feel like I'm 100% on the right track now. My only regret is not learning more earlier in life and doing this 20-30 years ago. Things would have been so much better without the testosterone poisoning.

Hi Gordon,
Great to hear you so pleased with your surgery. And feeling 100% like that !
Its amazing how many men say they wished they had gone ahead and been castrated decades earlier. That says a lot for your level of true satisfaction in getting this surgery, wishing you had it done so many years earlier.
If you need any light duty, if you have any problems, just tell them you had a vasectomy. Your castration did recut those same sperm carrying tubes that are cut in any vasectomy. You just got a recent vasectomy done that had a lot more cutting and removal included with it. Men get vasectomies all the time. Its like a normal manly thing that most men do now. Employers are used to it in their male employees and most bosses will make it easy on them after surgery. Telling them that if you need extra healing time will not make you any different than lots of your co workers. My co workers proudly told everyone about getting their vasectomies and usually they had lots of fellow workers wishing them well over the radios as they left work to go get sterilized. The sterilized men loved comparing stories of their surgery and how people reacted to learning they got sterilized. Their wives all loved talking about it too. Most wives loved to brag about what a generous gift their husbands gave them by getting themselves sterilized and letting the women stop using all kinds of female birth control methods.
If your co workers ever found out, a simple answer that it was medically necessary would get you lots of very sympathetic men telling you about their dads, uncles, and grandads needing castration for prostate cancer. Any intelligent men know they have a big likelihood of getting castrated themselves some day in the future if they live long enough to get prostate cancer.

Congratulations GordonGG.
I remember when I was castrated (Dec 2017) with a local - the Urologist had Christmas music playing on his phone. When the final snip on ball #2 was done, the Medical Assistant said "It's Done", and the music playing was "Joy to the World!"

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Things are still going fine. Haven't even taken a tylenol in the past 3 days. Went back to the doc yesterday after work and he removed the drains. I still don't like all the baggage, (scrotum). He said it will diminish and contract over time. I'm thinking that I'd like it snipped off as well. But he said to wait at least 4 months before making that decision. I'd like to have a smooth "under dick".

Good to know that everything continues well.
Lots of people here (inc me) have been told that the scrotum will reduce with time. I certainly didn't find that to be so, and I think that has been the experience of many if not most. I had mine removed by a genital plastic surgeon. You wouldn't know it was ever there. Made me very happy!
I don't know if it is coincidence or what, but after the scrotum went, thoughts began of getting to nullo -which I now want so much and hopefully will achieve this year. It seems that I am not alone in this sequence of wishes. Not unpleasant at all, but rather exciting!
So, if you lose the nuts, does that make some of us want to lose the bag? And if you lose the bag, does that make us want to lose the dick? And if you lose the dick.....? Haven't got there yet but I'm looking forward to finding out.
Any thoughts, anyone? -Particularly from those who have been there and done it....

I'm going for the entire Nestea plunge all at once and with full nullification surgery, hopefully by the end of the year. My consult is coming up and I'm very excited. I've heard from others the same chain of events that you describe, one thing leads to another. While it may be good to slow pace certain things, I'm sure getting it all done at once will be more efficient and perhaps cheaper as well.
Congrats to GordonGG on your progress and how happy you are. It's great to be free and moving forward and feeling good.

Never thought of it in terms of efficiency, but well.... It's a big change so it seems good to take time and counsel in deciding.
Like the others, I didn't choose to take it step at a time, it was just that one step seemed to lead to the next.
One has so many surgical choices now for nullification, and while this isn't the right thread for discussing them, enough to say that I have decided on a different procedure than seemed ideal originally.
Happy to PM or maybe it needs a thread of its own?

Right now I can't see wishing my dick to disappear.
