Nothing to it. I was awake (I wanted to keep an eye on what the doc was up to, but he had no interest in playing with my bits, though I wouldn't have minded if his nurse had a go!)

Very slight swelling for a day or two, (kind of sorry to see it go!), and then back to normal.

You still come just like before, except with the swimmers diverted off to be reabsorbed by your body (don't worry, you don't get fat or pregnant).

There is a possibility that it can be reversed later but there are no guarantees that the op can be reversed. You have to regard it as permanent, though they don't guarantee that the snip itself will work.
