Dragging this thread kicking and screaming back on track -
When I had mine done way back when, I thought part of me had changed ethnicity for a couple of weeks!
I was operating a JCB for 12 hours loading gritters just two hours after having mine
The reversal op was a different story, could hardly walk for two days, off work for two weeks
(and it didn't work
)
Ahhh, but the guy who did mine didn't believe in 'reversability'! He only did the 'radical' which involved removing what seemed like 5 yards of tubing!
Believe me, I felt that being pulled out despite the local!
(don't ask about the red face incident at the outset!

)
