I have a high tolerance for certain types of meds, and Valium is one of them. I took them as prescribed, and felt no different at all.

The biggest surprise to me, as mentioned before, was the nurse taping my junk to my belly. I hadn't give it any thought beforehand, but it makes sense to keep it from flopping around while doing the procedure.

Best advice I can give is to not get into too big of a hurry to begin clearing the pipes. A sexual deviant former co-worker couldn't wait and decided he just HAD to have him a go at his wife after about 3-4 days post-procedure. He said his sack swelled up the size of a grapefruit and he had lots of pain, and it took him a couple of weeks to get over it.

Mine was a big ole nothing-burger. Couple of "pinch" feelings while he was administering the anesthesia, couple of whiffs of burning flesh while the doc was cauterizing, and nothing more after that.

Just follow the doc's post-procedure instructions.
