The Snip

[matty]

I'm booked in on the 19th. Am not looking forward to it at all :shock: I stuffed up and watched a youtube vid of the procedure :cry: Not recommended if you're contemplating it.

Who's had it done? What's the recovery like? Any tips?

[BenM]

I haven't (obviously) but my plasterer was saying a few weeks ago that when he had his done he was back at work the next day with pretty much no pain at all.

I think these days they are pretty good. Still don't blame you for being nervous (I sure would be) but everything will be fine.

[PeteyD]

It is minor surgery, recovery is easy. Stop being a wimp.

[Captain Nemo]

Done and dusted for me.
Easy as, best decision I've made in 5 years!

[MegaWatty]

Simmsy's sack hurt for days and that's only with one nut. I can only imagine what two would feel like!

[matty]

It is minor surgery, recovery is easy. Stop being a wimp.

I elected to have a general.:lol:
What's the next level down from wimp.:oops:

[sms316]

No wonder you played so poorly on the weekend. Blue shirt. Blue pants. Blue balls.

[Stuartd147]

I am done too and I took general...:(...whimp I know.
A bit tender for a day or so but nothing major, as the others have said best decision ever.
Mate at work is my hero....got it done and sat and wtached the whole thing being done...crickey's!!!

[matty]

No wonder you played so poorly on the weekend. Blue shirt. Blue pants. Blue balls.

Yeah. Very distracted.

[markTHEblake]

This is about the 15th thread on the topic. What is it about blokes, that they have to consult with their mates before they get knackered.

The trickiest part is getting the misses to fill that little tube a month or so later.

[Dcanto]

It is minor surgery, recovery is easy. Stop being a wimp. Ditto. Had it done under local and the recovery was easy. I had more pain after having had my wisdom teeth removed.

[wazandnic]

Ditto. Had it done under local and the recovery was easy. I had more pain after having had my wisdom teeth removed.

^ this

Best part about it was the Doc told me that I had to "empty out" as much as possible the month after to ensure to get all the little swimmers out. ;)

[oldracer]

Ditto. Had it done under local and the recovery was easy. I had more pain after having had my wisdom teeth removed. ditto +1 played indoor cricket that night, not my smartest decision but other than swollen cods for a couple of days, all was good

[BenM]

Ditto. Had it done under local and the recovery was easy. I had more pain after having had my wisdom teeth removed.

Now they were a prick of a thing. I had 4 out at once under a general and was screwed up for a couple of weeks.

If the snip isn't easier than that, I'm never having it.

[Timbo]

Having a general is a good idea. I had a local and I pulled the doctor up twice as he started sawing at them before they got numb. He must have been in a hurry to make a tee time or something.

[AlexMc]

Get the general. Hurts for a few days after but nothing huge.

Good decision.

[simmsy]

Simmsy's sack hurt for days and that's only with one nut. I can only imagine what two would feel like!

You sucking on it for me at hourly intervals was great relief though.

[qbnchopper]

My tip is dont get a general for it if you are alergic to anaesthesia ... 2 days in hospital for me and lucky to be here. Hve a local and its easy ....

My worst nightmare!

[matty]

Wouldn't be very smart, would it?

[goughy]

I still remember my cop mate having it, then having to chase a crim down a day or so later. He got out of the car, took two running step, then looked at his mate and said 'you get him'.

Clikchics bugged me for years for this, but she has always had to take the pill (one of the bloody expensive versions not covered by pbs which sux when you have a concession card) as part of her health management so I've just thought bugger that! Now she's got some 5 year device - so I'm still smiles. Saying all that, I not all smiles because she's sick and needs this stuff regardless of whether I get snipped or not, but yeah I'm a little smiles about it.

[Mububban]

I had a local, it was mildly nauseating feeling the tugging sensations as he worked, felt like he was unspooling a garden hose but recovery was pretty easy. Bit sore for a few days, going up and down stairs had to be taken slower, but otherwise all good. Driving a manual car didn't give me any problems.

I figured if my wife can push out 2 kids with no pain relief (crazy woman), getting a little snip is the least I can do. We've rolled our biological dice and don't want any little "surprises" like 2 of my mates have had. Both had planned to get it done "one day" and then oops, guess what honey, we're pregnant again. No thanks!


The trickiest part is getting the misses to fill that little tube a month or so later.

Tip - if you're running late for the dropoff of said sample, don't jog to the clinic with the jar in your pocket. It tends to make things froth up :D

[sms316]

A bit of light cinema to get you in the mood.

[solarman]

Had mine done under general. My Mrs told the doctor that would be for the best as I may react to sharp instruments heading down that way.

Worst part was that I knew both the nurses who had a good old laugh.

Some people ok straight away. I had mine done on a Thursday and took Friday off and the weekend. Kept the old frozen peas on them.

I did dive into a pool about 10 days later and that really hurt when the pearls hit the water.

No permanent damage?

[Bruce]

I had mine done under a local. The rummaging/tugging thing was a bit disconcerting, but the worst was the realisation of what that burning smell is when it hits. "Oh right, that's my balls I can smell being scorched." Then going to take a slash and wondering how he managed to sneak in 2 purple baseballs without me looking.

I now have an ugly scar on an otherwise pristine scrotum.

Pics?

[markTHEblake]

It is not the surgery that hurts, it is the swelling afterwards. Whatever you do after to minimise that is what matters.

[Mububban]

I went to a specialist and recovered quickly, my mate went to his GP (after having had the "surprise" third baby) and reckons he got a hatchet job that took weeks to get better.

[Outcast]

When they tell you to put frozen peas on them after the surgery... make sure you do....

Mine were fine after the snip (under general coz I'm a wimp too) so, I thought I don't need frozen peas... wow was I f.......g wrong... swelling & major bruising a few days later accompanied by significant pain... use the frozen peas... trust me...

[matty]

Peas on the pod afterwards. Copy that.
Good to see just as many getting generals as locals. The doc said he was up to eight already for the morning I'm going in. At least we can all wallow in our moment of hurt and upset together.

[markTHEblake]

why would anyone need a general, its like two 5mm incisions, perhaps smaller, and its just cutting skin, no flesh, and the knife doesnt touch the nads.

Soft.

[PeteyD]

Agreed. Pansies.

[goughy]

I've had two wizdom and 3 other teeth pulled out in the chair, pretty much had a dentists knee on my chest while trying to extract one of them.

But, yeah, there's just some places I don't wanna be awake for and get a wift of the burning smell!

Side story, when Jaster was getting his done years ago, turned up, got all prepped and shaved down etc and then at the last minute they postponed it for another day.

[sms316]

Just flip her over = no babies. Also has the benefits of being tighter and a little warmer (and you don't have to look at her face).

Do u find you have issues with getting the corn bits out of your foreskin?

[Golfnut]

I'm off at 11 this morning to see the snip man for the first appointment were apparently he brags how good he is and then I give him $200....then a few weeks later I give him another $1k to mess with my nut sack. Sadist?

I think that initial appointment is called the "BMW Payment Appointment." Took me all of 5 minutes, "you're not fat, this'll be easy. See you next week, $200 thanks."

Soft

Glad I didn't go the general, but being awake for the tugging/pulling/unreeling sensations and the *BEEP!* *sizzle* was mildly nauseating. The specialist at least had a TV on the theatre wall to distract patients with, but a doco on crocodiles wasn't quite enough to take my mind off things completely.

Sadist?Mine cost $100 in total. Other quotes we got ranged from $400 up, usually numerous addons like nurse fee, room fee.When I asked my doctor why he didn't charge those he said there is no point to have a nurse etc

Wow, 100 bucks is a bargain!!! I could almost fly to the GC, have the op and come back with change.
Most round here know my propensity to push the boundaries of negotiating but I feel this is one fellow I may not want to haggle with. What the opposite of "being over a barrel"?

[chappy1970]

Local for me too, not pleasant, but nothing catastrophic.

I've always been a little miffed by blokes who refuse to get it done, what are they afraid might happen (during or after)?

Jizz as is, after the op, I can confirm

[Tongueboy]

Just shooting from the prostate. The stuff in the nuts just gets absorbed naturally by the body. Seedless jizz.

Can any wives / girlfriends / mistresses confirm if it's easier to swallow without the chewy bits?

Reading this thread has left me feeling a little nauseated. Gonna happen one day.

Had mine done about 10 years ago by a local doctor nicknamed the 'butcher'. Total cost was under $100 - I was sh!tscared but all was fine - I think I was in and out in no time [maybe 30 mins]. Felt like I had been kicked in the balls for a few days but the peas were a godsend. Don't know why anyone would need a general for a snip...

I did pose the question to him today, he said it was much safer to be under a general. Safer in what way?!? safer he's gonna make his payments on his Attadale mansion and garage full of toys or safer he can keep the rent up on his 3 mistresses in different city apartments?!?Firkin rip off if you ask me.

Save your money.
There's a pensioner at Quinn Rocks that'll do it with a soldering iron and wire cutters for $60.
:)

[simmsy]

Nut if there's one thing I thought even you wouldn't try and get a deal on it's having a stranger with a sharp knife near your boys!

I don't know what mine cost. Don't care.
And if a doc wants to charge more than what u think he should well so be it.
The poor ****a had to look at ur hairy nutsack.

[matty]

I don't care about the cost either. Weigh that up against the cost of an 'accident' (for want of a better word) for 20 years.

Secondly, I have a bit of a phobia of needles. I have seen needles put in all manner of places, between toes, big needles thumped into the chest above the heart with the force of a punch and every other thing you can imagine. Doesn't worry me in the slightest.
I just can't see a needle approaching me. I can get one fine enough. Just can't watch.

So the thought of all that happening down there and being conscious IS TOO MUCH TO BEAR :shock::lol:

[Captain Nemo]

This Snipped yet?

[Buzz]

Gotta have this done at the end of the year .. This thread is not filling me with confidence!

[Captain Nemo]

Man up ladybug!

[simmsy]

One must be plucked pre op anyway

[Mububban]

I've always been a little miffed by blokes who refuse to get it done, what are they afraid might happen (during or after)?

Considering what our wives go through to produce children, it's pretty soft if you can't have a snip as your contribution to avoid "surprises."

That said, reasons against that I've heard include what if we want to have more kids in future/if we break up and my new wife wants kids, what if I'm that 1 in a million who can't get it up afterwards, I don't want any man touching my junk, they will feel like less of a man if they can't impregnate someone.

Soft.

I just figured it would save on paternity suits

If you have the snip, you will no longer be an alpha male,

Do you know what eunuch means magman? He probably hasn't the balls to admit it.

[mike]

Most uncomfortable 40 minutes of my life. If I had my time over I'd get it done under general.

[Tongueboy]

I did. My first taste of general anaethestic. One of lifes great pleasures.

[matty]

24hrs until major surgery.
Feeling pretty calm at the moment.

[Captain Nemo]

Gone to Aldi for the bulk peas yet?
;)

[matty]

No. TTD list today.
1) Buy peas.
2) Buy a couple of pairs of small size undies (Dr's orders). Apparently keeps everything snug.
3) Shave it.
4) Update will.

[backintheswing]

Get your mrs to shave it. Then see what happens. May be your last chance for a while.

[Captain Nemo]

[wazandnic]

Get your mrs to shave it. Then see what happens. May be your last chance for a while.

This ^

Can work both ways also... sympathy shave and all that... hint hint... ;)

And if I can recommend one thing is get some tight skins shorts. I found them more ball hugging but comfortable, then the tight undies

[meh]

Poll? Seems more on here have had it than not.

[backintheswing]

I'm a stallion still

[coalesce]

I use my natural charisma as a contraceptive

[Dangals]

best of luck for the Op tomorrow Matty!

[matty]

Cheers mate.

So many questions to be answered over the following week.
Will my voice get higher?
Will I still feel like a man?
Will I still be able to perform?
How much distance will I lose on my drives?

[Dangals]

let me consult my magic 8 ball

Signs point to yes
Don't count on it
Concentrate and ask again
Better not tell you now

Hmm seems a little ominous....

[3Puttpete]

The most excruciating pain in the history of forever.

Good luck Matty

[matty]

See your avatar. That's what i'll be saying to the anaesthetist.

[matty]

All shaved up and looking a rogue elephant.:mrgreen:

[BenM]

Like a baby's arm holding an apple? Haha...

[simmsy]

When the dr says don't shag for 6 weeks or what ever it is, listen to him.
Friends of my wife couldn't help themselves and 9 months later, hello bubba!

Was that how your latest one came about?

[markTHEblake]

When the dr says don't shag for 6 weeks or what ever it is, listen to him.

Thats not correct., You can shag as much as you like, except until you get a sperm count of 0% you cant assume you are sterile.
From memory the doctor told me to empty the tank about 20 times before taking the test.

It was hard work too, kept dropping the bag of peas.

[simmsy]

So exactly what I said.
If he waited the 6weeks until he got tested he would have known his boys were back in town.
God you're a righteous twat a lot of the time aren't you.

[matty]

I really need a couple of panadol after last nights celebrations but wasn't allowed a thing after midnight. Wouldn't surprise me if I bleed wine when they go in.

[simmsy]

Good luck Matty
😉

[matty]

Cheers. Am next in. See you all on the other side!
Did I mention I hate needles?

[simmsy]

You can't see the one they put into the eye of your dick mate.
You'll be fine.

[Captain Nemo]

They never told me about that one....:shock:

[matty]

Im awake! Survived. Feeling groggy but every 5 minutes getting better.
The worste part was the needle in the back of the hand.
Didnt even realise I went out.
Woke up to a woman yelling at me to wake up.
Mildy sore throat from the thing they shove down to breathe but feeling pretty comfortable.
Enjoying a coffee and samdwich.
Should be out in two hours after observations are finished.
No pain at all down below but they said that will change ith the local wears off, then it'll be a case of knocking back the panadol forte.

[Captain Nemo]

He lives and breathes!!!

Get the strongest painkillers they offer you, and some repeat scripts!
Endone is my fav....

[Dangals]

interesting I found Forte better for me after my op as the Endone had less impact and also had the effect of bowel blockage...

oh yeah and congrats on surviving the op Matty - assume the first thing you did after waking up was having a feel to make sure it was all there ;)

[matty]

Maybe in a day or two when I can embarrass everyone with the swelling :)

[matty]

The cut is half a centimter each side.

[Captain Nemo]

Blue Balls, very appropriate today!

[goughy]

Here's hoping the drive home is not littered with pot holes!

[markTHEblake]

So exactly what I said.No. What you said is wrong.

[matty]

The local they gave under the general is still working wonders. Wouldn't know a thing.

[Craig_Syd]

My Dr told me to shoot 20 times before going for the test to confirm no little swimmers..... He also told me one guy came back the day after the operation for the test! BTW, Try getting the chop and the snip (38yr old) in the same Op... That was an experience I never want to go through again. :(

[coalesce]

Is the chop some kind of tribute to Varys from Game of Thrones?

[meh]

So exactly what I said.
If he waited the 6weeks until he got tested he would have known his boys were back in town.
God you're a righteous twat a lot of the time aren't you.

I think you could have said "almost all of the time".

[Craig_Syd]

Is the chop some kind of tribute to Varys from Game of Thrones?Well, if you want to look at it that way kind of... Lets just say the turtle doesn't have a shell to hide in anymore...

[Mububban]

Congrats on surviving matty.

If there are any stairs in your home/work area, take them slowly. Went back to work fairly quickly, feeling mostly okay, then forgot and jogged up some stairs. Well, started to, then got abruptly reminded to slow down.

Can you settle the Beanie vs Helmet debate from an adult perspective? Used to be fairly routine didn't it, now it's quite rare. I was snipped but my son wasn't.

You're a brave man Craig. Circumcised at 38! We all know women prefer that but that's crazy stuff!!

7hrs post op and I haven't had any discomfort whatsoever yet. Bit surprised and happy with that. Doesn't even feel like I've had anything done. Just took 2 panadeine forte as a preventative measure.

The doc told me to give him a sample in three months. He wants 20-30 shots first. If I'm really nice to the mrs I may knock that over in a week or two:)
(In my dreams)
The only time you get that sort of action is at the start of a relationship, when you're trying for a kid, or are 19. I'm neither of the above.

[matty]

Maybe I'll list dates, times, methods in the first post.

[matty]

For those who may be interested in getting the snip in the future, the 24hr post op report.
I have not experienced any discomfort whatsoever. No pain, no tugging, no twinges, no throbbing aches, or dull pains. No swelling. Nothing.
Last night before bed I took two 50ml Tramal's. Had a great sleep.
Will take one panadeine forte with brekky as a preventative.
Wearing snug Bonds boxer shorts. Maybe that helps by keeping everything secure.

I'm hoping it's not the calm before the storm.

[Buzz]

I need to have this done soon so this is a very positive report !! :)

How long before you can test out the equipment on the range / course?

[matty]

It's up to me. As soon as I feel the epoxy has set and holds the shaft, head, and ferrule securely together I'll give it a whirl.
Looking at mid next week at the earliest. Don't want to loosen the connections if not set properly and lose confidence in the club for another week.

[chappy1970]

Matt your approach of tight undies is a wise one, in fact tighter the better.
I made the mistake of thinking some loose boxers was the go, found out very soon after the op that this was a poor choice.
When I got home from hospital i swiftly removed the boxers and replaced them with 2 pairs of undies......agh much better

[matty]

I'm thinking tight undies are the key, Chappy.

The only thing I'm feeling post op is a mild sore throat from the thing they put down it so you can breathe while under.

I came out of the general having a woman scream at me, 'MATT, WAKE UP. WAKE UP, MATT.' Thought I was at home.:mrgreen:

Saw another guy who was under next to me. When I woke up again I asked where the other guy was. Got told I saw him in recovery and he's in a different room. Funny stuff being moved about , onto different beds, into different rooms, having no idea what's going on, then trying to piece it all together.

I remember when I got done I put one through the next day. Worked a treat and the pleasure and pain bit was mixed just right!

[markTHEblake]

Matty. I hadthe same experience. No pain at all, but the tight jocks annoyed the crap out of me.

The only time things got tense is when the kids thought it was a great joke to jump on daddy

Legend. No way I would :)

Haha. The boys have been told no wrestling for a couple of days.
I put on 'Skins' shorts today. Works a treat for me.

Yep, got me through with no issues at all.

To all those that have had the snip, can you answer this. My mrs. reckons that guys who have had the snip grow "man bitch tits". True or not?

[Captain Nemo]

Untrue.

[Coldtopper]

Transvestites talk about pre or post op so is that the same as snipers?

[Mububban]

You're not cutting your nuts OFF thus removing testosterone in the body. Just making sure the swimmers can't get out to make any little surprise babies. No reason for bitch tits to result, unless it's just the coincidental weight gain of a ~35+ year old who has the snip around the age they get lazy and stack on the kilos so wife thinks they're related?

2.5 day post op update.
Balls pretty much all blue and slightly larger than their usual impressive size.
Looks like the bruising has spread a lot over the last 24hrs.
Had a fairly busy day with the eldest sons footy early in the morning where I spent a good hour or so walking around at times with a two year old on my shoulders or lifting him up fairly often. Then another hour or so on my feet after a long drive to a breeders house to inspect our new pet. Then dropped the mrs and youngest at home before heading to Allianz Stadium to watch the Wallabies. Usual frequent out of the seat cheering and carrying the five year old on my shoulders to wave at the players on the fence during the lap of honour.
No painkillers all day.
Could feel a very slight dull ache when I got home about 7pm but it's not really pain.
Popped a panadeine forte.
So all in all it's going well and I spent most of the day not worried I was going to knock anything or even noticing 'amiss' down there.

[Mububban]

Blue eh? My sack sure did go an impressive purple colour. Plum coloured plums indeed. Glad it's going so easily, it's not an area you want complications in.

Have you had a wank yet? How'd it go? (no homo)

[dc68]

Simmsy's sack hurt for days and that's only with one nut. I can only imagine what two would feel like!

You have no nuts?!?!?

[Tongueboy]

Reckon that would be true.

How far in advance do you typically need to book for the procedure ?

[Craig_Syd]

How far in advance do you typically need to book for the procedure ?Depends on your Dr. Mine was uncomfortably quick from the initial appointment to execution, about three weeks. I was hoping to have a few months to get my head around it! The snip is a pretty quick Op so assume they punch through quite a few each operation day.....

[matty]

How far in advance do you typically need to book for the procedure ?

Yeah, about three weeks for me. Snuck up on me too quick. My doc had about ten getting the general that day.

[Buzz]

Performed by GP or referred to specialist??

[matty]

The GP will refer you to a specialist.
You wouldn't want a GP fumbling around with a needle and scalpel down there.
You have the 10 min $200 BMW appointment with the specialist then he'll book you in a few weeks later.

[Buzz]

Sounds like fun times. Sign me up!

[Buzz]

Signed up ... October 3. Can't wait :/

[Jarro]

Best thing you'll ever do....if you already have your desired quota of offspring.

[Buzz]

Yep last one due early November then that's it! Figured I would schedule the "down time " until I'm sure the procedure is successful to overlap with wife post birth recovery ;)

[Wardy101]

Mine was quick and easy thankfully. Put headphones in and let the doc do his work. Got home and claimed some rare sympathy for a day

[Buzz]

Hmmmm headphones great idea I think I'll adopt that strategy!

[Buzz]

Well that was easier than expected !!

[Wardy101]

Well that was easier than expected !!

make sure you milk some sympathy today mate and take it easy like the doctor told you too.

[Buzz]

Thanks Wardy.

Initial thoughts ... general would be a complete waste of time and money. Minor sting with the local jab but other than that, barely felt a thing.

Feeling tender now but definitely nothing above minor discomfort.

[AndyP]

Let's see how you go in the next couple of days, before suggesting general isn't better. I had a general and was having a kick of the footy with the kids the next day and could have gone for a run within a few days.

[Buzz]

Happy to wait for results but why would general over local be faster recovery ?

[Wardy101]

needle in the ballsack.....now that wasn't a lot of fun.

I was bit sore for a day or two but nothing major

[Buzz]

Needles are never great but the whole thing was waaaaay better than I thought. Brief needle then nothing. I was more apprehensive when my wife did the shave job the night before ;)

[AndyP]

Happy to wait for results but why would general over local be faster recovery ?Actually, I just read back in the thread and saw that you went to a specialist, when I had assumed a GP (hack job) because you got a local. I saw a specialist, but don't recall the option of a local, not that I want to be conscious while someone does that to me.

You probably will pull up fine then.

[Buzz]

I'm feeling really good ... Considering golf on Sunday :)

Seriously, I was genuinely surprised. The only thing I felt was the needle and even that was moderate. Based on my experience if the procedure itself I really would recommend to future snipees that general is unnecessary.

[Buzz]

Update, procedure +29 hours:

Amazed really. I iced three times yesterday as a precaution. Today, feels great, feels like nothing happened. Can't get over it.

Seriously considering golf tomorrow, fellow snipees, am I pushing it?

[AndyP]

I thought I could have started back into things earlier, but where that area is concerned, I decided not to risk it.

Right now I'm considering the compromise of playing but getting a motorised cart so I don't have to walk 10km :)

Or you could just get in a couple of one hour short game practice sessions.

Indeed that is probably the better option!
