Eyelid surgery when I was 6 and sleep apnea surgery as an adult. Other than that just the usual childhood broken bones and stiches.

Had a hernia operation before I started kindergarden, and I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed.

I had a lump dug out of the back of my neck. I stayed awake for it because I'm scared to die under anesthesia.

Never had a stich, nor had surgery. Got a few scars from almost stiches though.

Speaking of which...this one time when I was about 10 years old, I was a crazy little jerk running around Office Max while my Mother and my siblings went shopping for stuff. Anyways, I was looking at some ownage computer(back then), and in the process of trying to boggle at the computer and run down the aisle like the little jerk I was, I ran straight into one of those large metal pillars. Needless to say, glasses + head twisted so that the right eye just hit the corner of the pillar + sudden reverse acelleration == bleeding torrents down my right eyebrow.

I was lucky that they didnt have to do any stiches there, because they would have had to shave my right eyebrow off. Even today, 9 years later, I still have a line of missing hair through the middle of my right eyebrow, and my right eye still doesnt open as wide as my left eye. Moral: If youre gonna look at an ownage computer, slow the fvck down!

Damn little kids.

twice, had my gallbladder removed and orthoscopic on my knee. 3 times if you count having my wisdom teeth removed.

Had a procedure where they shoved a camera down my throat to look at my intestines. Morning of my gall bladder removal they did it again to cut the opening of the gall bladder tube that connects to the small intestine.

If you count those as surgery then the totals up to 5.

One semi-major: gallbladder

two semi-minor: vasectomy (2 times - first one didn't work! :Q) - > Note to self, never leave after the first one and say "Thank God I don't have to do that again"! :Q

Surgery to correct a slipped capital femoral epiphysis in my left hip then a few years later in my right hip. Later surgery to remove the pins that were inserted. Also had my tonsil yanked out and all four of my impacted wisdom teeth were removed, if that counts.
