DH was with the Dr about 30 minutes (apparenty cracking bad jokes the whole time too!!), then home for several days wearing frozen peas! He had the procedure on a Wed and went back to work on light duty (military) on Tues. He was able fly again about 2 1/2 weeks after the vasectomy. After that first mission, he said he wished he had waited another couple of days before flying, but by 30 days after the procedure he was fine.
