That which has been seen/Vasectomy Snip-all

Pages

...cannot be unseen.

I am curious. Dangerously so sometimes. So, knowing that I am going in next week for a vasectomy, I did a little googling to find out what it is like. What to expect and all that. I mean, the doctor told me info, but I wanted to find out for myself.

Then I found this (Not for the queasy as it involves minor surgery, and probably NSFW as it involves the genitals.)

Ever seen something happening and don't want to watch, but can't look away?

That was me while watching that video.

Good luck with the vasectomy. It's not as bad as you'd think. Have your significant other rent the nurse costume now (after-Halloween discount), and get ready for a weekend of pizza, booze, and video games. At least that's what mine was like.

I...watched 2 girls 1 cup, and I could not look away...also, 1 guy 1 jar the same way. hey were disgusting, but my eyes were glued to the screen.

EDIT: Also, I've heard, that when you've done snippety-snip down there you'll get it everywhere, anytime.

I was set up for a vasectomy myself, but they prepped the room for latex and I have a latex allergy. That would not have been good if they had latex gloves and and started to touch/hold my bits down there and I start to develop blisters on top of them doing the surgery already.

One thing I have to say is if they offer you Diazepam AKA Valium, seriously take it. When that kicks in you won't care at all they are getting close to your bits with a scalpel or anything.

Huh?

One of the things though too is it sucks that you will need like 6 months of check ups, so you can give a sample to see if your swimmers are still gettting through before you are classified as baby-producing free.

That doesn't look so bad. But that's coming from someone who finds graphic surgical procedures interesting.

I'm not going to watch the video, but I can tell you not to worry so much about the procedure. I won't lie and say it's comfortable, the pulling sensation as they extract the Vas Deferens to snip it is rather uncomfortable even if not actively painful. I've had dental procedures that were one hell of a lot worse.

I'll echo what Demonicmaster said, take the valium. It's not just about your mood, when you're anxious the muscles pull the scrotum in close to the body. This makes things harder to get to and requires more of the aforementioned tugging, not a happy thing and a little pill can help you avoid it.

I didn't like the smoke and burning smell....................

It took me all day to click on this thread, I was scared of the title.

Good luck with the snip, bunny.

Nope, not clicking that..............

Anyone who's ever gotten interested in anime and looked for more stuff online has felt the curse of What Has Been Seen. I'm actually proud of myself for having the discipline to not click on that link. That little red link. Just sitting there. Waiting to be clicked. Asking to be clicked. Begging to be clicked. You want me to click you. Don't you?

I have to go.

I looked at that and the first thing that sprung to my mind was:

"Gentle man!! BE GENTLE!!"

What makes it worse is that the Dr doing it in the clip. That's the Dr that I am going to.

Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Grenn hold out?!
How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to click the link that could alter his very existence?!
Will his tortured mind give in to it's uncontrollable desires?!
Can he withstand the temptation to click the link, that even now, beckons him ever closer?!
Will he succumb to the maddening urge to poison his mind, at the mere click of a single link?!
The beautiful shiny link!
The jolly candy-like link!
Will he hold out, folks?!
Can he hold out?!?!

Damn Viacomm for their YouTube vigilance.

I had surgery done on my eye muscles right after high school, and while they explained the operation to me (they were going to sever the muscles and reattach them to different points on the sclera), they spared me the graphic details.

By pure coincidence, I happened to catch a documentary about a nearly identical procedure on TV a few days later. Nearly identical in that the only difference was the direction in which they moved the muscles. Till then, I hadn't thought about how they had actually managed to move my eye around while I was unconscious.

Grappling hooks. Little tiny grappling hooks, that they dug into the sclera, tethered by long strings they could tug on to turn the eye.

Later, as part of the recovery process, they needed to inject something into one of the muscles as well. For that, I had to be fully conscious as they slid a syringe along side my eyeball and into one of the muscles. For our viewers at home, from the first person perspective it looks and feels a lot like someone sticking a needle into your eye, while telling you that you may not move your eye or blink.

Good times.

It'll also improve your sniping abilities.

Yes. This. The only version I found is on ad-filled Metacafe.

I've always wondered: after you've been snipped do you still "make a mess" (for lack of a gentler term) just without the little guys in it?

Speaking of surgery, Im having some minor surgery tomorrow (having a lipoma removed) so I'll most likely be in the GWJ TF2 server all hopped up on Vicodin.

Yup...

Spoiler:

otherwise you really would be shooting blanks.

For a couple of months afterwards (I don't know the exact length, but I figure it will be 3 or 4), you still need to use protection as the little guys can still be alive. There is always the possibility, according to my doc, that the tube fixes itself.

Speaking from experience, you can't tell the difference.

My favorite way to describe it is a river without fish, or pulp-free OJ.

Liquid valium is awesome.

With mine, they told me to clean the pipes about 20 times, and come in for two samples at 4 and 6 weeks. If they're both clear, you're good to go. Anytime you hear about someone who's had a vasectomy later getting someone pregnant, I can almost guarantee you they didn't go back for the followup, and are one of the 1 in 2000 who experience recanalization, or they thought they were in the clear and went at it a few days after surgery, and there were still a few swimmers in the tubes.

It's all just a series of tubes, like the internet.

I will be taking the valium. I have the pill at home, all ready to go.

What will be really interesting is how well I play Dragon Age after the surgery.

No f*cking way am I watching that video.

All the talk about Valium. Wimps.

I have anxiety, so I already take some medication. When I went in for mine, they did give me something, but it didn't do anything for me. Thankfully as long as I didn't look, it didn't hurt, so I just relaxed as best as I could.

Asking your wife to install an IUD sounds as a whole lot less complicated alternative.

From what I understand, the valium is not so much for relaxing you or making you worry less. It is more to relax the muscles in your body so that, as mentioned above, it is less work for the doctor to locate things.

Worthless things in my experience. They can (and do) fall out. They also have a tendency to cause significantly more pain and discomfort for the woman in question during her monthly cycles.

If you're done having kids, and you're confident in that decision, there's no better option than the snip IMO.

IUDs are dangerous. Real men just take the snip if they're done having kids.

I'm going to have to watch hours of porn to get that out of my head.

I was very tempted to make a crude statement about what real men do but thought better of it

For us, it was a simple decision. For me, it is a 45 minute procedure, including the waiting time in the office afterwards. I get to sleep at home at night and could, in theory, go to work the next day. For my wife it is a major surgery that requires general anaesthetic and a possible hospital stay.

I'm not sure that would really help..
