I had a laparoscopy when I was 20, surgery on my thumb to repair a severed nerve, and a tubal ligation after my last child.

Yes. C-section. Then they tried to tell me, 12 years later for a perfect pregnancy that I was required to have another c-section, at 30 weeks gestation. I am lucky to say I have only been sliced open once and I proved the Dr's that they were wrong.

When I was 7 years old I had to have eye surgery on my left eye because it was crossed. It was done to help me to focus with both eyes better too. The other surgeries happened when I was 21 and 23 years old. I had my Wisdom teeth removed.

In my mouth when I was about 12. There was a tooth that would not come down so they opened up my gum and connected a metal chain to the tooth to try to pull it down. They always blamed me for the surgery not being successful but two years later when they finally took it out since nothing was happening, they discovered the tooth was actually attatched to my jaw bone and would never come down.

not an important one. i had a root canal done on my tooth.the procedure was such a big one, it went on for hours that the numbness in my gums vanished and could feel the surgery for about 5 minutes.
by .avallach on August 13th, 2007
I had surgery done on my jaw as a teenager. My entire bite was off so they literally cut my jawbone on both sides, moved it where it should be, and put plates on it to keep it together until it could heal. I was on liquid only for a couple weeks then soft food only for something like 3 months. This was in southern california.

Caesarean section for premature footling breach baby - she's 21 in a minute! (well in couple of months)
by johngo on March 21st, 2009
Apart from the wisdom teeth, only once when I had a nephrectomy for renal cancer. When I finally got to see the incision I was amazed. It looked as though they were trying to cut me in half but got disturbed when they were halfway through. They also did a ureterectomy and that left me with a catheter in my penis while my bladder healed. Yes, it stings when they finally heave it out.

Yes! One for a broken arm, one to remove my appendix and another to remove my wisdom teeth!
by AlwaysHope on March 20th, 2009
I am not sure how many surgeries I have had. 30 or more probably.
Most of them were because of an accident when I was 12 when a car hit me. My leg was amputated three times over two years because it was badly damaged- once below the knee, and twice above the knee. I have had several stump revisions or other stump surgeries. My left eye was removed, I had two surgeries on the bone around my eye, and smaller operations to make it look better and to make fake eyes fit better. I had surgery on my broken pelvis, had parts of it removed, on my abdominal muscles, on my bladder, rectum, cervix and vagina. (the vagina and rectum work great, which I really appreciate.). For a year my intestines were connected to a hole in my side, and later surgically reconnected to my rectum. Some of my large intestine was removed and made into a sort of new bladder, and they connect to a valve in my side. I open the valve to urinate out of the hole in my side. That system evolved over many surgeries, but it works great and is sanitary and convenient. I've had surgery for two badly broken ribs. I have had plastic surgery to make scars and other results of the accident look better.
Unrelated to my accident I had surgeries for bad cuts (bicycle accident) and for my wisdom teeth.
That sounds like a lot, but I have not had any health problems or surgeries at all since I was 18.
I'm missing a leg and an eye and I can pee unobtrusively while standing up (a great thing!), but otherwise I am completely healthy and normal now.
