It is becoming increasingly common nowadays for men to undergo minor surgery when they've decided to no longer have children. Vasectomy surgery is considered "minor surgery" and men who have it performed on them are often back at work the next day, or even later that afternoon (although that's somewhat uncommon). Typically, most men have the surgery performed on a Thursday or Friday afternoon and then they take the weekend off and are back to work on the following Monday. It all depends on the patient and also the type of work they perform....if they are in a job that demands a lot of physical activity they may have to be more careful than a guy who works while sitting behind a desk.
The vasectomy surgery is simple - the doctor makes a very small incision in the scrotum at the base of the patient's penis, then goes in with a hook or small scalpel and severs the tube that carries sperm cells from the testis up and out. Thus, sperm cells never make it out during ejaculation. The success rate is very high and the risks involved are relatively low.

While it is considered minor surgery, there will be some minor bleeding and bruising often associated with any surgery. There is usually some pain to endure for a few weeks at most, but usually the worst of it is over within a few days. Doctors like to recommend patients use plenty of ice on their groin after the surgery in order to keep swelling to a minimum.
The results are permanent, so it's not a decision to be taken lightly. While there are a percentage of men who can have the procedure reversed, typically a vasectomy will sterilize a man for the rest of his life.
Everything in the patient's body remains the same after the vasectomy procedure - testosterone is still produced at the same rate, sex drive and libido remain high, and ejaculations and semen production all remain completely the same as before the operation. The only difference is that the sperm cells are no longer ejaculated with the seminal fluid - which means there's no sperm to make your partner pregnant.
In fact, many men report back to their doctor that their sex life significantly improves after the operation. The knowledge that there's no longer a need for fumbling with a condom before sex (or other forms of birth control) means that the patient can now have sex anytime, anywhere, without ever worrying about conception.
If you're interested in having a vasectomy, and you're sure that you're comfortable making the decision to sterilize yourself (for life - reversals are possible but not always) and being in a position of never having any more children, you should make an appointment with your doctor. Be sure that you're ready and prepared to take some time off from physical activity (no sports for a couple weeks, no heavy lifting, etc).
