THE SNIP

[Carter]

Whos had the SNIP? I'm booked in for Saturday afternoon, is it as painless as they say? Will I be able to fish Sunday?

[Bri The Pom]

I have carter, aparany two methods, a cut on each side or a cut on one side and pull the furthest tube through to cut it, this what i had and this was painfull for a few days.

was going to move this to the humour section - funny because it's not me

but have moved to the general. Good luck Carter

[sunnydays]

I love it! you're more worried about wheter or not you can fish the next day!

Haven't had it myself, but sounds like a good idea to me. All the best with the procedure and hope you can get back on the water post haste!

[WayneD]

Had it done about 2 years ago. Back at work the next day, could have gone back same day I reckon. Only took about 10 minutes, but hey I had already organised to have the whole day off so why not take it. Only lasted half a day when I went back but my job involved lots of walking and jumping on/off forklifts so you should be right fishing.

Hmmmm a convo thats coming up at my place more regularly than id like.. :pinch:

[Carter]

Ha HA Henry, My mate reckons he can do it for free with 2 decent rocks :pinch: might take a bit of time to recover tough. Better fish Saturday just in case

Justin, not a good idea unless its a mate getting it done :cheer:

[BassTracker]

all i can say is good luck and may the force be with you

[1tiger]

Hi, I've had it done and it was quite relaxing while the valium was doing its thing but take it easy afterwards and follow the doc's orders on ice packs etc and you'll be right. Probably wouldn't go fishing the next day as an infection can make it hard to get the stitches out!

cheers

I have two brothers, one was in agony for a week and went to hospital the other calls him a sook and went back to work the next day

[daveylad]

what the hell, I hope they dont take the knob off, :pinch: now I'm scared.

LOL at Daveylad.

WTF have you been looking at Dave to find images like that?

[Bluevien]

Oh the memories. My doc was the fella who won on Who Wants to be a Millionaire so he wasn't doing it for the money.

All I'll say is a packet of frozen peas will be your best friend for a few days after the snip. The actual procedure is nothing, it's the recovery and the swelling afterwards.

Good luck.

Oh, and I can still smell the scent of burning parts.. did I mention that they may "weld" the tubes shut!!!

[Dinodadog]

I had the same bloke but wasnt so lucky, I was jumping out the back of trucks and running up a firing range dropping to the ground and repeating this up the range to the target. Result lefty ended up black as charcoal and the size of a cricket ball. So my advice if the doc says rest then take his advice as well.

[BassTracker]

Daveylad, thats just plain confusing and i just threw up in my mouth :sick:

[Baptism]

damn... I havent done it and it looks painful =x

[Carter]

Gulp, thanks guys I'll do a full report after the procedure with pics if you like, :silly:

[shortie]

:whistle: If your unlucky you wont have to buy bait for your next fishing trip after the procedure :whistle: .

[doss]

[Runty66]
