Tubal ligation and vas deferens snipped are totally different levels of surgery. A vasectomy is an outpatient procedure, mine was done with a single incision in the scrotum, less than an inch long, local anesthetic plus valium. Tubal ligation, on the other hand, is abdominal surgery, requires work inside on both sides of the abdomen (tubes are far removed from one another) and is a significant recovery time. I've recovered from abdominal surgery before and it sucked big time. Vasectomy was a short visit on Friday and I was back to work on Monday. Some lingering soreness for a couple days longer. I scheduled my vasectomy for the World Cup (and Father's Day) so I'd have something to watch. Mine didn't even require a urologist visit, my primary care physician did it. Not a big deal.
