Have you ever had an operation/ surgery?

Surgery on my bladder when I was 4, surgery on my nose when I was 14. I dread my 24th birthday.

tonsillectomy while i was in college.

ankle surgery, and circumcision

I've had my appendix, some chunk of bone in my knee, and four wisdom teeth removed. I've had various stitches added.

tonsils removed
baby removed

Mmmm...cataract surgery when I was two. I don't remember much of it, of course. Except that the doctor didn't have any purple balloons. That wound remains unhealed...

I had compacted wisdom teeth removed, but now they want to do this really gross thing where they cut back the gum away from the side of a failing root canal tooth, do something horrible in there, and then stitch it all back up-- yUck-O-rAma, I think I'll become a Christian Scientist instead!

Funny, "yUck-O-rAma" isn't in the dictionary.

It's called a DNC.I can't really go into it,way to complicated to explain.It's usually done on women. Somebody please help me out....

Had my gallbladder removed last year.

Too bad C-section wasn't on here.. that's a pretty common one. I had surgery on my knee when I was 10... Ran into the exhaust of a car while I was on my bike.. The scar is on my knee and curved like the bottom half of an exhaust pipe. You could actually see the bone.. so they put me under and fixed it.. Before they knocked me out, they tried to sew it and it was excruciating. I also had an emergency C-section because of a placental abruption. Since it happened so fast, they knocked me out instead of just giving me an epidural.

Demerol Rocks!

I've never had surgery. I've never broken a bone, sprained anything, been in an accident ... I don't even have a filling!

Yeah, that one time the anesthesia didn't work...

non-cancerous lumps removed

You're probably thinking about a D&C, dilatation and curettage. Basically, it involves scraping away the uterine lining.

I had a cyst removed from the back of my head under a local anaesthetic. It was pretty gross.

Nope. I had stitches in my finger once.

Isn't being with Magbast just like surgery?

lol you mean excrutiating?

That's it!Thank you daver!!! It was done when I was 19 years old,for a miscarraige I had suffered,resulting in me bleeding for 2 1/2 weeks.I wasn't aware that I had been going through a miscarraige untill my best friend forceably took me to the emergency room.When I got there the attending doctor asked me how long I had been that way.I told him about 2 1/2 weeks,he starts yelling at me saying "Don't you know that you would be dead if your friend had not brought you in here?"I was so weak,all I could do was cry & say "Why are you yelling ay me,your supposed to be a doctor?" He said that I had lost almost half of the blood in my body,& had me immidately hooked up for a blood transfusion.
They put me to sleep while performing that procedure & my hospital stay consisted of about a week.I hate hospitals!!!!!>
The food wasn't too bad though. I've heard that other people have had bad hospital food experiences.
I've learned that you can kill anything with enough ketchup,sugar,
salt & pepper.

I have technically had 4 operations, but 5 procedures.
I've had tubes put in my ears 3 times. I had my tongue clipped during one of those. Just recently I had my wisdom teeth pulled.

Excruciating, painful, something you do because you have to.

Nope. Never been under the knife.

I had a barium enema once, though.

Oh, does wisdom tooth removal and abortion count?

I had an operation to mend my broken arm but I didn't get opened up or anything for that! That's it......

I had kidney stones removed.

why did you have to have your bladder operated on?

I had 3 wisdom teeth cut from my mouth and I had stitches a few times. I had a camera shoved down my throat to look at my ulcers. I had a piece of metal removed from my eyeball and then they buffed my eye. I also had an abortion. All of these were outpatient surgery and were under local anesthesia.

I had a head transplant once, but the brain rejected my body.
Currently I have an artificial brain (Pentium 386).
Which is okay, but I can only see in 16 bit color.
Some people have metal plates in their skulls.
I have device portals.
My kids love what they can make me do with a joy stick.
And my wife finds it best combined with Viagra.
I feel like the Six Million Dollar Man...after taxes.

I was reading to fast and I thought you said "my kids love to play with my joystick" lol

That would be my wife, except for those days she prefers to use her remote.

*giggle*

c-section

Don't remember.

do you remember anything from your experience in the hospital from then?

Oral surgery and three C-sections

I may have had heart surgery, but I don't think so.

Why would they clip your tongue? Was it an accident?

I was tongue tied so they clipped the piece of skin under it

I remember the hallway seemed awfully crowded, and it really hurt to pee while I was there.

Radical scrotum reduction surgery.

Ahhh. That makes sense. Thanks!

When I was 3 or 4 I had an operation to remove two little lumps from my neck. All I remember about it is going to the hospitial having to change into a hospitail gown and having two blood tests done (because they didn't take enough blood the first time). I also rember a nerse taking me into the operating room and telling me to lie down on the operationg table. Then I remember going to sleep, the next thing after that I rember is waking up and trying to sit up and the nurse and my mum telling me not to because they will rase the bed for me. Then I put my clothes back on and went home.

wisdom teeth, bowel resection, deviated septum

I should get my baby removed one of these days too.

You have to grow one before you can have one removed, silly.

Oh, forget it then.

My perfect run is coming to a dreadful end
In 2 weeks, I'm getting 3 fillings. (Serves me right for not going to the dentist for 6 years!)
Then I have to go under a general anesthetic to have 2 of my wisdom teeth removed
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So lucky. So far the only surgery I've had in my (almost) 38 years was a tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm not sure what it's called, but I had my appendix removed...

that would be an Appendectomy

okay.. thanks..

I had to have orthodontic surgery.

Oral surgery and I have had an ear drained (infected) and a wen removed in the doctor's office.
