I would fall under the catagory of no big deal. I had mine done almost 12 years ago, never once a problem.
The most un-nerving issue to me at the time was when the doc grabbed the head of my unit, yanked it up and taped it to my belly.
Now, having said that, there was one problem that really had nothing to do with the vasectomy itself. Had the procedure done on thursday afternoon, left for TN friday morning, but got stuck in traffic on highway, turning a 4 hour trip into a 7 hour trip. Got to the destination, was uncomfortable, checked things out, and I had popped the stitch. Now, everything was ok, but it just freaked me out a bit.
Bottom line is, absolutely, positively without question, do EXACTLY what the doc says. Don't try to do any physical activity, just relax, put the ice bag on the bag, and keep still for a while. You'll do just fine. It's those guys that try to go out and play golf, work, etc. etc. that have all sorts of problems.
Sex was a whole lot better after everything healed up....... no preg worries

Anyway, as I said, you'll be fine. It is really so much better and easier for us to do it than the women. Lot less complications, relative pain, and hell, just easier all the way around. Not to mention the fun of making sure you get thru the required # of ejaculations to "clear the pipes"
