Have you ever had surgery, if you have, what was it for?

I've only had surgery once, and it was for my eye.

Nope, I think the only thing that comes close is getting my wisdom teeth out

Yup! I had a breast reduction in 2009, my wisdom teeth out in 2014 and a D&C in 2015 (Does that count? Well, I was out for it)
All of them went well, so I'm good.

Possibly never, if you're super lucky and they grow in straight :)

That's what I want to happen, but for the majority it doesn't, so I won't get my hopes too high. Maybe I could luck out though

I too only had wisdom teeth pulled out that's come close to surgery. My sister and dad have several years back, though (my sister breaking her arm and my dad having something wrong in his throat and chest).

Oh yes. I had tonsils removed as a baby, I removed 2 teeth as well as 1 wisdom tooth (and I'll probably have to remove another one), and at the beginning of 2015 I had surgery... down there haha.

*insert obligatory wisdom teeth mention here*

I had my adenoids removed when I was 11-years-old, and that right there was a trip in itself. I apparently became conscious while under anesthesia, and I was "fighting" with the nurses, who were trying to keep me restrained and put me back down. I remember the occurrence vividly, but what it felt like was a dream. When I woke up post-anesthesia, I couldn't believe it when they told me what I did really happened and my parents were shocked.

Quite a few actually.

Hip surgery as a baby, adenoids removed, tonsils removed, wisdom teeth (and 3 of the extra teeth I had behind them), and a few other tooth removal surgeries. I also had two emergency surgeries to repair internal bleeding (each a year apart, same issue) and I recently had general anesthesia for an MRI for the hip cause it wasn't fixed right as a baby. The MRI was quite recent actually.


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

I've had 4 teeth pulled (Not wisdom teeth :P). It really wasn't so bad during the process, it was the aftermath that was horrible. :O

But apart from dental surgery, the closest I came to surgery was when I fractured my skull around my eye (I think it's called the orbital socket). They described the surgery to me, and I said "Psyduck that muk" and opted for antibiotics instead. Thankfully I didn't end up with brain damage. Thankfully I didn't end up with brain damage.

Wisdom teeth, all four of them, and that's pretty much it.

I had too many teeth and was gonna have a crooked smile, so when I was 15 the doctors gave me oral surgery to take out my wisdom tooth. It was so fast and painless that I did not even know they had done the opperation. It was actually easier than a normal trip to the dentist I thought at least.

You may never need to have the surgery, but if you do you might be surprised to find that it's not what you feared. For me it honestly just felt like going into a relaxing sleep. It might be a little awkward afterward, you could feel still sleepy and will probably be advised to eat softer food like ice cream for a day or two but that was about it.

No. Maybe in the future if I get some awful illness.

Edit: btw what happened with your eye?
I had a lazy eye.

I had a surgery last month, and I got the bill for it a few days ago. I had a herniated disc that was apparently the size of a lima bean that was hitting my spinal chord and caused tremendous pain down the entire right side of my body and made it difficult for me to move my head or even sit or stand for extended period of time. This happened back in July and I just got it fixed last month. Honestly, the most painful part of the surgery was the bill. My insurance covered a huge chunk of it, but for the same day surgery that I went in at 10:00 AM and got out at 5:00 PM, the surgery cost about $47,000 total.

Anaesthesia is amazing. One minute I was laying in the coldest, most intimidating looking surgery room and then I inhaled three breaths and the next thing I know, the surgery was done and I'm in the recovery room.
