Just got snipped... how long to wait to ride?

I'm never getting snipped. My dad got my pregnant when he was 53, so I'm all about longetivity, and procreation..

 

2 weeks!!! I'd wait 2 years!!!! Hell, I'd never sit on anything again. Just opening this thread made my danglers sore. YEEEEEOOOOOOUUUCCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I will NEVER let any sharp object near my nether regions!!!

 

I think it's important to listen to your Dr in a case like this

 

word .

 

Bringing up an old thread and a sore subject. I just noticed that two weeks after getting this done I have signed up for the Project Rwanda 50 miler.

I might have to do the short ride this year. I will let my balls be my guide.

 

I had mine done on a Friday afternoon.....a week later(Saturday) did the Toad Festival(27 miles)....took some Advil before the ride......no problems.

 

Dam it! I was setting up my appointment to have my procedure done in the next couple weeks. I am bummed if I am going to be off the bike for a couple weeks. May have to rethink this. LOL!

 

Off the bike for a few weeks but look at all the possitives. Not going to list them here need to stay PG13

 

I must be special. I experienced no ill effects and very little pain afterwards. I was out on the town that night and played softball the next day. I don't recommend you do this, but that was my experience.

 

As soon as your wife goes through menopause, all those supposed benefits become a moot point. If she's not far from that demographic, it may be something to consider.

 

i was golfing within a couple days, riding in about a week. really not that big of a deal, especially compared to what women have to go through. be brave (and take naproxen).

 

+1 this. I couldn't put my wife through a surgery, for procedure that really only takes minutes. I did give myself a couple of weeks just to be safe.

 

So tonight I will have my procedure done. Wish me luck and a FAST recovery so I can get back on the bike!!!

 

Manuia!!!!

 

Hope it goes well I am in on the 26th.

 

Hope things went well psyclerider

I just put mine off till after the Rwanda and the Traverse. Did not want swollen nuts at the end of the day.

 

Tomorrow is the big day. Off the bike for a while, got the 50 mile ride and Traverse out of the way.

 

Go straight home, get a comfortable position in front of the TV/'puter and ice it for 24 hours.

Bags of peas seemed to be the best and lasted longer.

You will be so grateful that you did.

 

Recovery took a little longer for me. I took the two weeks off the bike. I can't believe some of you guys where able to ride just days after.

I agree with stay home for the weekend and do nothing but relax. I went to a bike shop grand opening the day after and my daughters soccer game two days after. Those things did not help and my recovery took longer. I had to stay home from work a couple extra days and even a week after the procedure, I still walked like I rode a horse for 100 miles.

 

when I had mine done I was chillin for about 24 hours but still went out to diner that night... wasn't that big of a deal (at least for me). I was back in the gym by Wednesday and riding by Saturday. I was also racing again the week after... My Doc said just to chill off the bike for at least 1 week just incase something "weird" happens down there...
