    I thought as much. I wouldn't have a problem paying.

    I was wondering is there a list of surgeons that will do it for personal as opposed to medical reasons? I couldn't see a GP being sympathetic to a non medical reason.

    Hi Bond-007. There is a private circumcision clinic just north of London. They deal with medical, religious, personal et al. I could send you a link, if you want?

    hey bryner

    I went to tallaght myself. Also with dr flynn. Was very happy with the staff in Tallaght. They really do put you at ease. Dont be afraid to ask any questions if you have any conerns before u leave.

    Best of luck.

    p.s cheers for all other posters on this thread who put me at ease and helped me make my decision to go ahead with op. There is a lot of crap on the internet about circumcision, but would reccomend anyone to read through this thread form start to finish - lots of great advice

    I can only speak from my own experience, but I had to be there at 10am, and was in the operating theatre at about mid-day. I guess it depends on the running order of the theatre, but take a newspaper or a book to read, because there might be a bit of sitting around.

    How are you getting home?

    You'll be absolutely fine. It is quite weird thinking about what the operation involves, but you won't remember a thing. They'll give you an injection and - Literally - the next thing you know you'll be in bed, waking up!

    Hi byrner88, I know you're all drugged up at this stage, but when you come back around, I was just wondering how long you were waiting for to be seen in Tallaght, and then for the actual procedure itself?

    I'm in Tallaght so I can only presume that that's where I'll be referred to. Would love to get all this done this side of xmas!!

    i doubt you will even be seen by the consultant before Christmas i waited for 11 months to see the consultant and then another 6 months to get the operation done. my operation was put back twice between them 6months i suppose if you go private it will me much quicker

    right lads got the operation done this morning was in at half 7 for registration then brought in at 8 to get my gown and disposable knickers ha and got some define , not the tablet the suppository(shove it up your arse) . then a bit of waiting around to get the anesthetic got hooked up on the drip. woke up then about an hour later and asked the nurse when i was getting the operation done she said it was all done . went back and got some toast and oj then had a nap before they kept waking me up to check my blood pressure a few times. im feeling grand now but the drugs will wear off.

    Sounds as if everything went well. Now you've a few days sitting around with your dick out watching TV ahead of you.

    doing that now . the bandage came off while i was asleep last night and it was really sore this morning . its that bad i cant put anything near it .

    will the sensitivity just go or will it need to be rubbing off clothes or anything for it to go numb as everyone else is saying?

    it'll go as the swelling goes down, and don't worry - there's a difference between it being numb, and it not being sensitive.

    the best way I can describe it is, it's like your thumb. While your hand is hanging down by your side, you don't feel your thumb, but if you bang it or touch it, you'll know it's there. You know what I mean? :) It's not that it goes numb, but it deffo doesn't feel like it feels for you now.

    sorry - I get you. You may find it heals a little quicker if you tough it out, but either way you'll be grand in a couple of days. It was only yesterday or the day before right? me personally, I started wearing jockey shorts instead of boxers to keep it still, but if it helped me heal quicker, it was probably only by a day at most.

    well - whatever works for you is grand. Did they tell you to replace the bandage? mine fell off the evening I got it done, and the doc said it was grand, they never replaced it.
    Trust me man, you'll be fine in a day or two.

    my doc said that it being off would help it heal faster..so you're on the right track anyway.

    I know what you mean, but like I say, don't worry - it'll take a while for the healing to start, but once it does it'll feel hugely better. it is frustrating tho!

    probably cause they were going to stick a pulse monitor there - saves them pulling hairs off when they remove it :)
