Big C 0 Posted April 15, 2007 I have had a few, When i was 12 I had nose surgery to repair a deviated septum, a few years later I had a cyst removed from my left wrist (looked like I was wearing a tennis ball under my skin), 18 years old surgery on my right rotator cuff, 22 yrs old another surgery same rotator cuff, 24 yrs old surgery once again on my nose to repair septum again. 26 impacted wisdom teeth removed (surgery? ) it was done by an oral surgeon and i was put under anesthesia for the procedure. then last spring when i was 29 I had my tonsils out, adnoids out Uvula removed and weirdest of all a tongue base reduction all at the same time (horrible sleep apnea trying to free up some airway) So what says you guys, how many and what types of surgeries??

Big_Pete 0 Posted April 15, 2007 never had any surgeries in my life, unless you count a doctor cutting open my pointer finger on my left hand to remove a bb. but he just gave it a shot to numb it, sliced it open, took said bb out of my finger, and then like 1 or 2 stitches. I don't think that counts as surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big_Pete 0 Posted April 15, 2007 peenus reduction, 2003 which leads me into a great joke I heard years ago... "A man goes in for a sex change, after healing up, he can finally go back to work. when he arrives, his friends said "wow, so you really went through with it huh? was any of it painful?" the chick replied "yeah, one part was REALLY painful" they asked "was it when they had to cut off your peemus?" "nope, that wasn't it" she replied "was it when they had to give you fake boobs?" "nope, that wasn't it either" "well, what was it then?" she replied "it was when they had to suck out 2/3 of my brain" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 137 Posted April 15, 2007 Appendectomy at 12 years of age (1970, so it was done with a hacksaw, opium and leeches) Knee reconstructions at 16, 19 (same knee) and 23. Reattach torn bicep at 27 Ten or so arthroscopic knee/shoulder/elbow procedures Awaiting double lung transplant. THAT will be one mutherf-ing, contest winning scar.

sawilson 1 Posted April 15, 2007 I don't remember the exact ages but here's mine: -Toncils out when I was younger -Orthoscopic surgery on my knee -Bursa (sp?) removed on same knee -Wisdom teeth removed (surgery? ) - I don't think child birth is considered a surgery, but I did have to be rushed into surgery after I had him as I had complications.

KayJay1971 238 Posted April 15, 2007 This is really weird because I just had surgery 2 weeks ago to replace a disc in my neck. I had a bulging disc and it was pressing on a nerve that caused pain all up and down my left arm and shoulder. Dock went in and scrapped out the bad disc and replaced it with a bone shaved down to fit where the old disc was. No real pain now but I can't turn my neck at all and have to wear a neck brace. My wife now calls me "Broke Neck Mountain". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsdad 47 Posted April 15, 2007 18 years old surgery on my right rotator cuff, 22 yrs old another surgery same rotator cuff, It sounds like you went with staples the first time... I tore ligments off the rotator cuff and had surgery to repair that. My surgeon suggestion a suture method over staples because they can tear out (ouch). That was 20 years ago and it hasn't given me a problem since, and it is my throwing arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,295 Posted April 15, 2007 Since the peemus reduction card was already played... As a kid: cyst removed from my ear, 4 teeth removed for braces (I wouldn't count that but others seem to be). Never had the tonsils or appendix out. As an adult: left knee meniscus removed (scope), got my boys snipped. All things considered, for all of the sports I've played and still play, I've managed to largely avoid major injuries.

Bill E. 668 Posted April 15, 2007 I had open heart surgury (hole in the heart) when I was 6. That was back in the late 60's so it was new and pretty serious. I was in the hospital four-six times over the course of a year for that. It seemed to fix the problem though. As a kid I broke my arm a couple of times and had wisdom teeth removed. The day before I was scheduled to have my wisdom teeth out I broke my ankle playing football. The sux was they would not take the teeth out after setting the leg so I had to go back in for the teeth a couple of weeks later. I have not been in a hospital for over 25 years.

Got a plate and pins and all that. 2007 - Circumcision 2007 - I'll probably end up getting surgery in a few weeks to fix my meniscus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambert58 56 Posted April 16, 2007 1) Lamenectomy on my back.. I had two ruptured disc with one of the disc hemmoraging fluid. Doc went in and cut channels to keep the disc from pressing against the nerve. The last month before surgery I could not get out of bed. It was horrible. After the surgery I did not even need a pain pill. The worst part was the bandages pulling my skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted April 16, 2007 I don't have any ghey cosmetic surgeries .... broke my nose the natural way .... getting punched .... and I didn't need no doctor .... I just couldn't fight for awhile. Had one real surgery in 37 years. Boxer's fracture .... little metacarpal in my right hand, put a pin in there. Put my fist through a door when I was like 18. Other stuff .... including 100 or so stitches to that same hand .... not really surgery. "Just sew me up doc." I'm a good healer. Most painfull thing I ever felt ... getting the big gash in my right hand sewed up. Knife wound. Artery cut. Lotta blood. Focking stitches hurt like HELL! Already ... kinda tender in that area too ... with the knife wound and all! It's just pain though. It's temporary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's got a scar that starts on one side of his sternum, goes all the way around his back ... and ends on the other side of his sternum. I was born in '64 and my scar was similar. Of course now because I grew, the scar just goes most of the length of my chest. My friend was an OR nurse for a heart surgeon and said they could do that now and hardly leave a scar. I was just lucky they knew what they did back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
