The snip

[BrisWesty]

Currently got the frozen peas thing happening. Uncomfortable!

[Lagerlover]

You weren't down the business end at the birth then BV??
I still get flashbacks!!

[BrisWesty]

Yeah I was there but I wasn't pushing at the time.

[markTHEblake]

Mate, go hard on the ice packs and tight jocks, i did and no pain or swelling at all.

[BrisWesty]

Daughter just asked if I want to go for a bike ride in the morning. Respectfully declined.

[AndyP]

I was at Auskick having a kick the next day. Soft!

[Jarro]

Do yourself a really big favour ....


... do not do anything physical for at least a couple of days!!

Welcome to sterileland 8)

[Yossarian]

I still have a full banana.

[Jarro]

Any problems with fruit bats ?

[BrisWesty]

So no golf tomorrow?

[Jarro]

So no golf tomorrow?

I'd say not

[Lagerlover]

Putt putt??

[Lagerlover]

My wife told me if I got the snip I would get it a lot more. Talking dirty I told her if she lost 30kg, I would stop rooting her GF....

I meant it as a compliment!!

Well said - howd it work out for u? ;)

Too early to tell, it's only been six weeks....

I was, both times. Wouldn't miss it for quids.

I assume you meant BW though.

[dave1]

No snip for me.

In my research I found that it increases the chance of testicular cancer.

My grandfather had that (lost a nut) but was ok.

[TourFit]

Adolf was your grandfather...

...this jigsaw is beginning to come together nicely!

[Outcast]

BW, had mine done 5yrs ago, felt fine, didn't go the ice pack. Didn't feel fine for long; make sure you keep those ice packs up or they swell & hurt like hell!

[Jarro]

So no golf tomorrow?

Feel up to it today ?

[sms316]

So how does it feel to be hung like a black man Westy?

[BrisWesty]

The birth or the conception ?

Given there is a definite family resemblence for all 3 girls I'm hoping I was there for the conception!!

Jarro, improved today, but don't think I'd be playing - golf either.

Outcast and sms, as Dickie Bird said one time after being hit front and centre while standing at square leg, "Do you think you can do something about the pain and bruising while still retaining the size?" Welcome to Caboolture, have a nice day!

This morning's shower looked like the shower scene from Psycho. Fortunately it was only Betadine.

[sms316]

Given there is a definite family resemblence for all 3 girls I'm hoping I was there for the conception!. I'm not sure you can take too much notice of height at this stage.

[IanO]

I had mine done 16 years ago and never regretted it for one minute. It was far in the past that the pain has faded :mrgreen:

[Jarro]

Just wait till the hair starts growing back :lol:

[Eldrick]

three people i know had it done.two of them had infections and swelled up like grapefruits.one having over a week off work

but with three kids already i might have to take my chances

[Jarro]

Best thing you'll ever do ;)

[markTHEblake]

If it swells up they didn't ice it enough!

[sms316]

If it swells up they didn't ice it enough! If it swells up you might as well see if it still works

[Leon Phelps]

I went back to work the next day, should've stayed put for at least two days, as I ended taking days 2,3, and 4 post op off due to swelling. Best thing I ever did though, no more pregnancy Russian roulette...

[markTHEblake]

If it swells up you might as well see if it still works

it aint IT that swells, its the nuts you wally and I can assure you swollen or not you dont want to be bouncing them around in any way shape or form. It takes close to 3 months to get over not having a reflex reaction on the couch when the kids jump on you.

[Webster]

After it's been done, is there any noticeable difference in the volume or viscosity of the baby batter? I've heard conflicting reports.

Nothing changes there at all Jack.

[Chris32]

I'm about 8 weeks post having the snip

I didn't bother with the ice packs, I just wore two pairs of jocks for a few weeks which seemed to do the trick.

I had it done on a Tuesday and was back at work on Thursday, it was uncomfortable and sore but not too painful. Getting a 3yr old and 11 month old in and out of a two door car was fun the first few weeks!!

Made the mistake of going for a run about a week ago, the pain about an hour after I got back was twice as bad as the day I had it done!

[AndyP]

You can't run without getting pain 7 weeks after getting it done? I'll assume you went to a GP then.

My snip was done in the hospital. I had my first run (12k) one week after, and I only held off that long as a precaution. There was no unexpected pain and I did a 50k a few weeks after the op. Great recovery and very little disruption to my life.

[goughy]

Remember a cop mate of mine, a few days after having it done. He and his partner pulled over to chase after a crim that had bolted through a yard. Opened his door, took one step out and said to his mate, 'you go after him'.

[BrisWesty]

Have come down with a UTI. Don't think it's necessarily related to the snip as that was 5 weeks ago.

Ended up at Emergency Monday morning in much pain. Dignity gone after having been checked over by a lady doc, then with the ultrasound the sonographer asks if he can bring in some interns to check it out.

Had to pop out and get some groceries yesterday, and the codeine wore off while I was out. Was not happy.

Right testicle is way swollen. I'm off to the doc again this morning.

I think it's hurting more than the snip did.

[Leon Phelps]

crossing legs reading that BW, ouch

[BrisWesty]

Glad you can cross yours, Leon. ;-)

[sms316]

Westy always wanted to be hung like a black man.

Unfortunately it's done nothing about the frank.

[chappy1970]

Jack as I have stated before, post SNIP. Jizz as is.

[Webster]

Good news Chappy. Did you use your swingweight scales to comfirm no lossage?

[Moe Norman]

No snip for me, we'll be having a 4th

[chappy1970]

SW scale not required Jack, I just used years of experience and an astute eye to assess post operative output

[BrisVegas]

No snip for me, we'll be having a 4th

are you aiming for 9 kids? That's the magic number apparently.... :lol:

[Moe Norman]

no, we would almost certainly stop at 4.

car would fit 5, but my house would struggle with 5.

[BrisWesty]

Off to get an urgent ultrasound (can't fit me in before 2:30). Right nut is about double normal size. Thank God for codeine.

[kpac]

Ouch.

[sms316]

Is it like carrying around your own personal bean bag Westy? Hope things improve quickly.

Nah in hospital Andy. I'd played a few rounds of golf in the weeks before, and had no drama. I was just thinking then, my three year old managed to hit me in the nuts that afternoon at the supermarket which made me almost vomit with pain, and went for a run that night, so most probably a combo of the two.

My dr said I'd been wearing the wrong jocks though, as I've always worn those bike short type jocks and he said to stick to briefs for a few months. So far all good

[tommyg]

Im thinking of getting it done.... but not unless the mrs will sign a pre-snip. I'm getting a lawyer friend of mine to write up bulletproof pre-snip contract that guarantees me 10 shags a month from her if i go through with it. If she wont sign it then she can have her uterus removed for all i care.... i'd sign it for that

Good selling point there :cool:

[Webster]

I like your theory tommyg. Good luck with it.

[markTHEblake]

I didn't bother with the ice packs, I just wore two pairs of jocks for a few weeks which seemed to do the trick. How did it do the trick when the subsequent symptoms you described resulted from not icing up.

[wazandnic]

Best tip I could give is to get yourself a pair of skins (or similar) compression shorts and wear them day and night for a week. (maybe get a couple of pairs so you can wash one whilst wearing the other ;) ). A pair of jocks under them also helps with a bit more compression. Reduce the wiggliy bits and you should be gold.

No icing what so ever here. Was at my boys soccer game the next day, bbq that night, then an outdoor wedding the day after that, and then back to work. No issues here! Wife was most impressed how I handled it, which won me even more browny points! :mrgreen:

[BrisWesty]

Good selling point there :cool:

Don't bet on it, our preacher's wife ended up with 2 more kids after he'd had the snip (and yes they are his)! One immediately after, when the system is not completely flushed out, but the second one 5 years later!

[Eldrick]

DNA verified?

[Chris32]

How did it do the trick when the subsequent symptoms you described resulted from not icing up.

I don't believe what I've experienced had anything to do with not icing up. I was fine after a few days, and a month and a bit later I had a minor issue which caused a bit of pain

[Webster]

There are other alternatives to the snip:

[oncewasagolfer]

Nice one jack:lol:

[jaybam]

From recent conversations I believe there is a few gentleman on here looking at getting the snip. Have found some information on a doctor who does the whole lot bulk billed. Initial appointment and the snip on Tuesdays Thursdays and Friday's . Of you want the details pm me. Aslong as you have a Medicare card is freeeeeeeee. Wish I knew this grrrrrr.

[Lagerlover]

Oops, I thought this was about the chocolate and strawberry frozen pyramid things....mind you, could come in handy.

[Hatchman]

Oops, I thought this was about the chocolate and strawberry frozen pyramid things....mind you, could come in handy.Just had to pick myself up off the floor I laughed that hard.

[jaybam]

Lol but I can recommend the peas and corn instead mate.

[markTHEblake]

If I was doing it again I'd wanna put the boys into the hands of someone who is going to take a bit more time than a whack, chop "next" guy!

I only paid $100 for mine the rest on Medicare. Another place wanted about $600 and that included cost for a nurse. That alone is a bit of a scam I think. Last thing you want hanging around during these previous moments is a woman.

[jaybam]

Try finding it for 100 nowadays Blakey. They hit you with initial consultations and then the actual fee for doing it. Bloody expensive to make sure you can't breed anymore. I don't think it should be as expensive as what they do charge.

[Lobsta]

Cheaper than a kid

[razaar]

BW
If the test of your first sample show a positive result, will you do it all again?

[Mububban]

Still haven't gone back yet to make sure I'm now shooting blanks.....

Yeah my initial appointment ie BMW Payment Appointment was about $250 and procedure was $500 from memory. But as Lobsta said, cheaper than another kid which is what happened to my mate. Surprise! Third child. Bam, bigger car, more furniture, more stress etc, now they're divorced. Not the only reason by far but it sure didn't help.

I had 2 nurses as well as the male doc for mine. I was just concentrating on not getting freaked out at the tugging and pulling sensations. Felt like he was trying to reel a garden hose out of my sac, he was doing so much tugging and pulling of pipes.

[markTHEblake]

Golfer69, I am more worried that if you do go ahead you will be posting the before and after photos like you usually do.

And commenting on how trimming the bushes has made the tree look bigger.

Do it Dicky, don't hesitate

[Webster]

Don't do it Dickie. Convince the missus to get her tubes tied instead. Or just wear a franger.

[sms316]

Youngest son is 12 so that and a bit more is how long I've been procrastinating.
Good. The benchmark has been set. I've got another 10 years.

[Jarro]

Just do it !!

[jaybam]

Good. The benchmark has been set. I've got another 10 years. Is it worth the risk of a accident? Easier for blokes than women to have it done.

Anyone know where this is???? or how to contact jaybam

[markTHEblake]

Ben. There is a specialist in Merrimac. Just a minute west of Lakelands front gate at the medical centre there. I think oppposite the wedding chapel resort.

He did a good job on me for $100 plus Medicare and hands were cold.

[golfbound]

Thanks Mark do you recall the name at all

[markTHEblake]

No. You can't miss it if you drive past or look in yellow pages as its a specialised place for that and related stuff

[AndyP]

Anyone know where this is???? or how to contact jaybamYou'll have to find out his alias.

I'd personally be paying as much as possible to whomever is wielding a scalpel down there.

Apparently it is soft and less manly to get a specialist to do it in surgery, but having a GP handle your ballbag while you watch is okay.

I'm not sure if it can really be compared to getting a front back and crack wax, but if it can I would recommend a gay bloke over a hot chick. There is a time and a place for swelling and hot wax (and probably a scalpel) is not it.

[Jarro]

Anybody that 'bars up' in the prescence of a doctor, holding a scalpel, is just a nutjob !

A nutjob going in for a nut job. Ironic.

[Minor_Threat]

Lining up for the procedure myself shortly. Looking forward to taking a day or two off.

[FoxGolf]

I have a bit of time up my sleeve as we have number 4 on the way and I can't do anymore damage for at least the next 6 months. I've been told though that there's no way there'll be a number 5 so I'm sure this will be on the agenda sometime this year.
