Operation for droopy eyelid when I was a kid. They used ether then and that nasty stuff made me violently ill. As an adult I had UVULOPALATOPHARYNGOPLASTY (UPPP) done for sleep apnea.
 
Yep.

Hernia in 2001
Wisdom teeth in 2003
Titanium rod hammered into my broken femur, March 2005
Sinus surgery for Chronic Sinusitis, July 2005

This year has sucked.

Incisions... yes, they made those. They had to cut the gums, shatter the teeth inside my jaws, and pick them out bit by bit. It was horrible. The fourth tooth they just pried out through the incision. It popped like a champagne cork. :Q


How did you know all this? I was asleep through the whole thing.
I was wide awake. I had no more anaesthetic for these procedures than I'd have gotten for a filling. Honest to god all I got was lidocaine shots in my gums before they tortured me.
 
hernia repair at 14 months, repair of paralyzed vocal chord two years ago, lefort type 1 procedure on my upper jaw 5 months ago, and i only turned 21 three weeks ago 🙁

I tought your bobbies were enhanced, doesn't that count as being operated on? 😕



 
Yes.

Tubes in ears, removal of adenoids.
Removal of glass shard from heel.
Fusion of neck(chose cadaver bones in order to avoid harvesting of bone from hip), due to having two herniated disks removed.
