It is under 1 K for cash / plastic paying patients in my area
Which is in the south eastern US. $640 for the procedure + $125 if you opt for pre-op consultation. Shop around brother and get the self-insured / cash price way different from prices quoted to insurance carriers and their patients.

Oh Lord, I wish I were clipped.
I will get so much raw pussy. I have a 19-year old now that I know would give it to me.
Getting clipped without insurance is not cheap, as far as I know. Is it?[/QUOTE]
I hope this does not happen to me
I will be going to a guy who specializes in it. His practice is solely in vasectomy and its reversal. I think anyone considering it should pick someone who does a lot of these a physician who is otherwise a good urologist / surgeon may perform this procedure only occasionally and hence may not be the best person to do it.
[QUOTE=TravelinSD;2539390]There's been a lot of discussion about vasectomies lately, so I thought I'd relate my recent and on-going experience.
I know this procedure is generally a simple office procedure for the large majority of people. Not to scare anyone, but I'm still going through the vasectomy from hell. I went to the urologist I've been seeing for a few years for my prostrate exams. He has best of the city awards all over the walls. During the procedure he mentioned several doctors who he's done the procedure on. The price was $800.
Things went horribly wrong. A day after the procedure my left scrotum swelled to the size of a grapefruit. By the time I got to his office Monday morning it was more like cantaloupe sized. I had two business trips planned. On his OK I made it through those with much pain and discomfort. When I returned I went through an outpatient surgery where he made an incision in my scrotum to clean out the hemorrhage. A little over a week later I'm down to the size of a nectarine.
The killer is that I had a $6300 deductible on my insurance, so my $800 vasectomy is going to end up costing me over $4 k.
I'm lucky in that I'm divorced, but for you married guys trying to do this on the sly, just be aware that it's not always a simple procedure. The real killer is that I've missed out on 3 pots during this time, LOL.
Good Hunting,
