    Tore something in my wrist. Had no idea I was going under/what was all involved till like an hour before. My doctor was very nonchalant and did not do the best job of explaining also

    3 nose
    broken orbital
    broken jaw
    finger (but I don't know how much that one counts as they basically just hammered a nail into my finger and put a stint on it)
    wrist
    wisdom teeth
    one later tooth to get ready for invisalaign
    tonsils
    bit through my lip bad enough to have to be put under I believe twice

    going to have to have two back surgeries at some point relatively soon (was an idiot and attempted to catch something that was falling that I had no business attempting to catch) - supposedly they're pretty routine surgeries.

    I'm a damn lemon at this point.

    1 knee surgery that permanently fucked up my knee. Had my tonsils removed in my early 30’s and don’t recommend it unless it’s absolutely necessary. Hernia surgery and dental surgery.

    Wisdom teeth in high school
    Hernia surgery, got a mesh wire in my abdomen -- the pain leading up to this was awful, would just be sitting on your couch and felt like somebody kicked you in the nuts

    The next 3 were within a 2.5 year period, was on crutches for damn near 3 years
    ACL, MCL, and meniscus (unhappy triad), with a microfracture, from playing fucking flag football in law school
    OATs procedure because my microfracture procedure didn't take the first time, so they had to do a cartilage transplant. They showed me a video of this procedure, they were basically hammering a huge nail into the bottom of my femur to try and regenerate cartilage
    Twisted my knee about 8 months after the OATs procedure, they went in once more to "clean some stuff up," or so I was told.

    Will likely need a total knee replacement at some point. Can't play basketball or flag football anymore, or really anything that involves side-to-side movement. Can hike and go straightforward perfectly fine, though.

    I have not, if going under is the criteria then those don't count. The 3 times were full blown nail avulsions that kept me off my feet until they healed. Once in the ER and twice by a foot and ankle doctor.

    Not surgery but had to have a colonoscopy (and an abdominal ct scan) a few years ago from constant abdominal pain. Prepping for a colonoscopy is pretty miserable. And they didn't find anything wrong with me, still have pain almost always and now just live with it

    Amazingly enough - I've never been in a bar fight unless we count the broken orbital when I got jumped for not letting a group in.

    I had open heart surgery at 6 days old. A number of surgeries associated with that, hernia surgery, sinus surgery, had to get eight teeth pulled, wisdom teeth removal (didn't even know that counted until you queens included it just to get on the scoreboard lol), LASIK and a vasectomy. I'm honestly not sure, but somewhere in the 10-12 range.

    Just had my first this year to get intacs put in my left eye.

    Had my wisdom teeth removed but it was done in boot camp and calling it a "surgery" seems inaccurate for the amount of time it took.

    Wisdom teeth, had a cyst removed from the upper part of my mouth, hernia, and ruptured patellar. Patellar was easily the worst to recover from and still not 100% and never will be.
