Got mine done last year just to give a bit of feedback for the guys in case they are thinking about doing it.
1.) Booked to go see a Urologist and he just makes sure that it is what you want as it will be permanent. I went to a Dr. Van Der Walt at Wilgeheuwel hospital in Gauteng. his rooms are there but he does the procedure at Constantia clinic on Ontdekkers road as it is a day clinic and is cheaper than doing it at Wilgeheuwel.
2.) Booked a day to get the snip done. fill out all the prebooking documents and had to send prebooking forms to Discovery medical aid for them to approve and give a authorisation code for it. they also gave me some specimen cups and some forms for Ampath to get a semen test done (this is for after the operation)
3.) On the day of the snip I went to the Constantia clinic in the morning and you basically fill out the forms and give the authorisation code.
4.) went into ward room, strip down and wear one of those nice gowns they give you.
5.) nurse came and gave me a tablet which was supposed to knock me out but it didn't even though I was far more relaxed.
6.) climbed on the trolley bed and got wheeled into procedure area. they gave me the anaestetic and the next thing I remember was getting wheeled back to the bed in the ward.
7.) sat their for about half an hour had a sandwich.
8.) Doctor came in and just checked how I was and then said I could go home.
9.) called the wife to come collect me (they are adamant for you not to drive yourself and are quite anal about letting you go without proof that someone is driving you).
10.) Went and had coffee with the wife afterwards.
11.) you have to still wear condoms, or alternative birth control until you are checked for your semen count.
12.) After about 4-6 weeks or a certain amount of ejaculations, you need to take your sample to Ampath or Lancet (the specimen cups and forms you got originally from the doctor).
13.) they phone you up and say you are good to go (as was in my case but if they still detect the semen you may need to go for another test a week or two later)
Personally I was quite worried when i went to go get it done but it was actually nothing and I had no complications and it still works like a charm

so no reversal for me. From what I've read on many international forums, it gets rather complicated once you go for a reversal after a complication.
Eventually got it done at a gov hospital after some counseling sessions (all very boring).
