Current Events > You've had surgery before?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Depends on whether dental ones count.

The only one where I had to go on the surgery table was a medical circumcision because my openings are stuck together due to buildups behind the foreskin.

When I was 4, had a biopsy for Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
6 years old, had lymphoma mass taken off above my lungs.
16 had my ACL in left knee repaired.
32 had defibrillator put in.
36 had an LVAD put in.
37 had a Heart transplant.
37 1/2 had a blockage removed in my femoral artery that they caught in time.
38-44 had multiple heart caths done when they go up from your femoral to your heart.

Tonsillectomy, appendectomy, cataract like surgery (shot in the glasses with a BB gun, shattered the lens and the shrapnel tore up my lens to the point of unsalvageable), glaucoma surgery, wisdom teeth grown so wrong they had to be surgically removed, and detached retina. The eye surgeries were all on the same eye.

Just wisdom teeth removal.

W H A T.

Yes.

Imagine going to the dentist, and getting a syringe into your gum, but it's into the glans.

Longest 5 seconds of pain in my life.

Tonsils removed when I was 5.

yes to remove a 9.5cm tumor from my lower intestine.

Technically yes, wisdom teeth

Once. They put me under with some drugs and night night gas.

It feels less like sleeping and more like losing track of several hours.

Where you had to be under general anesthesia?

Eye surgery four times. Two in each eye. Also, yes. Twice alseep and twice awake.

3 times, brain surgery for pituitary tumors.

Several times. Some to replace some of the GCMN (large mole-like patches) on my face and some to try to remove a cyst over my right eye and attempt to restore its sight (didn't work out). I also had all my wisdom teeth removed.

does a colonoscopy where they had to burn out a polyp count?

I guess dental surgery can count.

Tonsils out when I was a kid, Gallbladder and Apendix when I was 12, and just had surgery 3 weeks ago.

BTW, those who were put under for dental are lucky. I've had 3 wisdom teeth out, all under local.

Twice

had my ankle surgically reconstructed and had my wisdom teeth out

when I was 8 I had a compound fracture in my arm and they just gave me laughing gas while the doctor set it. I could still feel it.

I needed a penis reduction went from 15 inches to 10

I had ball reduction surgery (it's not actually called that).

bilateral endoscopic frontal sinusotomy, maxillary antrostomy, total ethmoidectomy, nasal polypectomy, septoplasty, bilateral interior turbinate reduction, partial middle turbinate reduction.

Wasnt so bad for me, I was watching the rangers and blue jays in thealds? The feeling of four teeth being pulled was weird though.

I went under for brain surgery, putting a rod in my leg for a broken tibia and fibula, having a lymph node removed, and an endoscopy/colonoscopy. While those sucked, the wisdom teeth sucked the most after it was all said and done because of all that spitting up blood all day. Thankfully no dry sockets

Oh yah. My ce debut was a topic about my breast reduction

Pilonidal cyst removal (ass cyst, lol w/ my username, yeah, not very fun)

And tonsillectomy so that would get rid of tonsil stones permanently

When I had all 3 wisdom teeth , and a molar removed, I had f to he option to be put under, I took it, not because I am afraid of needles or pain, but because I figured it would be easier than gleaming to sit still while the dentist pried 5 teeth out of my mouth.

When I was 18 I had an upper jaw widening surgery with a palate expander for a while after. Then a year or two later or so I had a corrective jaw surgery on my lower jaw because it was too far forward. They removed wisdom teeth while they were at it.

Meanwhile when my 4 wisdom teeth were taken out, I was only given deadening gum, not even a needle to deaden the area around where they pulled and stitched. I was I think 14 at the time and my parents were pissed. I suffer from High Blood Pressure (one of my kidneys has a defect, so its not weight related), so I was medically required to either be put under or given needles. Didn't really feel it though, just a lot of pressure.

Just 1. Had a blood cyst come up on my chest when I was 10. I was playing on a log grabbed it close and it burst. I was starting to bleed out. I went to the ER and they fixed it & removed the roots later. All through my teenage years I had people ask about the scar. They thought it was a spider or something. Kids in the 80's. lol

Fuck, I was on Medicare at the time, were you uninsured?

Yes. They say you won't remember being intubated, but you're DEFINITELY going to wake up when they pull it out. Messes up your throat for like a week or two afterwards.

I'm Canadian, so stuff like that really isn't expensive.
