I've recently (12th of August) had an orchiectomy.
The surgery itself wasn't long, I was awake an hour later, and while pain was quite bad the first day, it got much better by evening.
The next day, pain was minimal and easily managed with OTC meds.
I had some smaller issues wearing diapers, since I didn't want the fresh scars in contact with the urine, so I used waterproof sticky bandages over them, which worked really well.
About a week later everything had healed enough to stop using those, and now, 2½ weeks later I barely even remember what it was like having those two organs that I never wanted.
This has resulted in what I had hoped for, because it allowed me to stop my antiandrogen (cyproterone acetate), which I had suspected to play a big part in my depression, and being off the stuff for three weeks now, that suspicion had been shown to be correct. My depression is just more or less gone. I still have a low mood here or there, but it doesn't last.
I'm really happy with the results. Much better, not perfect, but the waiting list for that step is very long, and I can see myself waiting now, where before, it seemed like an impossible time to wait for.
