What surgery have you had?

AARRRGH · 04-11-2009 01:21PM #1

So, I'm going to be getting septoplasty in a few weeks to fix a broken nose which I somehow picked up about 18 months ago. (Can't remember breaking it, but it's definitely a new break).

This will be my first surgery, so I'm 50% terrified and 50% excited. It'll be under general anesthetic.

What surgery have you had, and are you happy with the results?

Tonsillectomy and an Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction

It's a nice feeling to waken up drugged and surrounded by nurses

I have had my entire skeleton replaced with an adamantium sub-frame.

Nothing too major, a few endoscopes when i was younger, most serious one was when I was about 8, the main vein coming out of my leg kept getting wrapped around muscle/tissue/bone and preventing the blood from going back to my heart, sliced me open and moved the vein and it's been fine since.

I'm going to have to get a Lumbar Discectomy soon myself, not exactly sure how I feel about it.

We can rebuild him.
We have the technology.

mikom · 04-11-2009 01:29PM

I had a strapadictomy.

gaz wac · 04-11-2009 01:30PM

Had a meckel's diverticulum op about 15 years ago. ment to be quite rare, only 2% of the population get it....so I was told !

KTRIC · 04-11-2009 01:30PM

A penis reduction, it was just too big

ibarelycare · 04-11-2009 01:31PM

Nothing too serious. I had a bone marrow harvest a few years ago because my brother had leukemia and needed to borrow some bone marrow. Had a scope on my knee a couple of weeks ago too.

I love the feeling of going under general anaesthetic but I had bad reactions waking up both times. The first time I woke up choking while they were taking tubes out of my throat. The last time the first thing I rembember was lying in the recovery room shivering and crying

I had gone into shock while coming out of the anaesthetic and they had me covered with this lovely magical hot air blanket.

Not to put you off OP...nothing to worry about! G'luck with nose!

Was your butt sore?;)

robbie_998 · 04-11-2009 01:37PM

had toe nail removed in Jan but they didnt get it all so i have to go back soon to get the rest of the nail bed removed

anesthetics are cool... make your toe swell up really big and ya can do whatever you want to it without feeling a thing

jd007 · 04-11-2009 01:49PM

I had surgery on my knee about a year ago after i tore my cruciate ligaments. I loved the feeling of being knocked out by the anastethic:D, I did feel a bit queasy afterwards though.

Macca07 · 04-11-2009 01:49PM

had surgery on coarctation of the aorta about 11 years ago. basically the main valve into my heart was narrowed and had to get it widened

Biggins · 04-11-2009 01:54PM

Chest repair, ankle repair, head work including skull and jaw, leg repair and hand work.

bluto63 · 04-11-2009 02:05PM

Had a third nipple removed

Adiboo · 04-11-2009 02:09PM

I had a circumcision when I was about 3 or 4, my appendix removed when I was 11 and had my ingrown toenails taken care of a few years back. Of the 3 surgeries, the ingrown toenail was definitley the worst, horrible pain afterwards.

faceman · 04-11-2009 02:11PM

I had a combined naughty and exploratory surgery done. It was rather painful.

Although I still cant come to terms with the fact that there are probably photos of my insides and outsides in medical books.

Pherekydes · 04-11-2009 02:13PM

Nothing...

...yet.

I'm thinking of having an orchidectomy.

Kimbot · 04-11-2009 02:15PM

Had 5 operations on my lungs. 3 I was awake for and 2 I was out cold for.

1st time after waking up after general anestethic I was as sick as a dog for an hour or so and second time I was as high as a kite waking up.

Warfi · 04-11-2009 02:17PM

I've had recessionoplasty surgery done on my bank account....it's not looking good:o

I_am_Jebus · 04-11-2009 02:18PM

so far only the one type of surgery for me and it was voluntary...

laser eye surgery... oh what a sight as you see the circular blade coming towards your eye, then the tweezers, then watching the flap made in your eye being pulled back before being zapped with a laser... then the wonderful burning smell....

What surgery have you had?
