What surgeries have you had?

[Andrew]

I was born with a hernia and had a very serious surgery at 3 weeks old, don't remember a thing thank God, 1984.
Developed another hernia not so long ago and had surgery in 2015.
Gall bladder removal surgery in 2016.
Just curious if you don't mind sharing, I consider myself rather young for going through 3 stomach related surgeries, my tummy sucks lol

I had sinus surgery due to my allergies in 1993. It helped for about six months and then you really couldn't even tell that I'd had it.

Hernia is all but next week will get a hip replacement

 

[Lamb]

I had my wisdom teeth removed by surgery, tongue surgery to remove cancer and had my thyroid removed (2 surgeries) for cancer.

 

[Josiah]

I had extensive, emergency heart surgery immediately after my emergency C-Section birth (I was baptized - with an eye dropper - in between). This almost always results in a huge scar that lasts a lifetime, but there was a plastic surgeon available who sewed me up and now there is virtually no scar whatsoever (so I have nothing to post, lol); I understand this is very, very unusual so I was blessed. Although I see a cardiologist annually, my ticker is fine and I've always been physically active.

I was born 3 months early and I was born with Hydrocephalus and had a shunt put in at birth. I have had MANY revisions since then. I have also had an eye surgery for lazy eyes, ingrown toe nails removed on both big toes. (I don't see that as a surgery but I guess it is)

Oh yeah I had ingrown toe nails too on both feet. I was going to post that but I forgot if it was more of a procedure than a surgery, technically it's a surgery but I didn't go under. I was actually sitting up looking at it lol I thought it exciting.

I had "female" surgery in 1989 by a doctor who ended up molesting me...my view of doctors changed and of getting surgery without another opinion. He did a surgery I did not necessarily need.

So sorry that's horrible! I was molested at a young age too, it's always been difficult to bring it up as I naturally wish to suppress it.
Again, my heart goes out to you.

 

[JRT]

Had tonsils removed as an infant. Four hernia surgeries. Two eye surgeries. Pacemaker.

Thank you DH. So sorry that happened to you, too. I don't see how people can do such things but personally I'm glad he's gone to the great beyond.

 

[Lucian Hodoboc]

Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I need to undergo several other surgeries to fix my broken body, but I don't know if I will be able to.

 

[tango]

Don't think I've had any surgery at all. I think the closest I've had was a few stitches when I stuck a wallpaper scraper in my wrist (not intentionally, I should say).

Is it a financial thing or fear of the surgery?

 

[Jerlene]

I've spent a lot of time in hospitals but never really had any surgeries. I've had oral surgeries, LOTS of them, but I don't count those as they were pretty minuscule to me.
I've never broken a single bone in my body or anything. Growing up, I was envious of kids with casts. lol Everyone would flock to them and form a line to sign their cast. I wanted to be on the other side of that. It's weird, I know.

 

[MeowsePad]

I've never had any surgeries. I'm hoping for many more wonderful years ahead without having any. My fiance has had her tonsils out but otherwise has not had surgery. I am highly suspicious that I will need to have surgery at some point for my hips or knees, though, as I already have problems with pain there.

 

[Lucian Hodoboc]

Both. As well as other reasons.

 

[Jazzy]

1. Tonsillectomy
2. Tendon repair to my right ankle

 

[Forgiven1]

I have had a few.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Deviate septum repair
Wisdom teeth
Hysterectomy for ovarian cancer so much was removed for that
Cholecystectomy-Gall bladder
Bilateral Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery to raise my eyelids for visual issues

I am so sorry to hear this. I don't get why some do this at all.
