So...

Who has had surgery? What type of surgery was it? What was it like? Did you have to pay a lot of money? What did you feel like after it was done? Are you glad you got it done?

Just curious about people and their surgery stories.

Eye surgery, when I was about 6-8. It was painful.

What was it for?

Me. I had my knee operated on when I was a younger because of too much damaged done to it playing le futbol and snowboarding. Had my nose worked on in the winter/spring to correct the inside because I had constant nose bleeds, everyday. Didn't pay a cent for either. I felt sore, but relieved for both. Yes, I'm glad I got it done.

Got my adenoids taken out because they were blocking my nasal cavity due to swelling. Projectile vomiting at nurses is fun.

Did you have to go under? What did it feel like?

For my knee , ya. Apparently now you have the choice, but I honestly don't know why someone would choose not to go under.

When I had my nose worked with, and no it wasn't a "nose job" it still looks identically the same. It was inside that was fixed, I was awake the whole time. I mean it hurt a lot. I had a section of my nose removed inside and replaced with a tiiiiiiiiny little piece of metal, which was eventually removed but I felt every moment of it.

Appendix ruptured, was in the hospital for a week. Two months later they knocked me out and took it. Woke up a few hours later, or so, feeling groggy as shit. Out the next day.

What're you goin' under the knife for? Getting new boobs? Hmm?

I got 4 stitches in my thumb once...

only one in the last 15 years was for my wisdom teeth, got knocked completely out, felt like shit when i came to, vomitted a bit, then was absolutely fine and eating food by that evening
plus i had a bottle of pills which got me through the rest of that month quite pleasantly

yeah, i've never broken anything or had any major injuries. to be honest i could definitely use knee surgery on both my knees but i'm not planning on playing sports competitively like i did in high school so whatever, i'll live with it. also with my knees fucked up, i can tell when its gonna rain!

Being my mother was a medical professional I ended up at the dentists having my teeth harassed for what seemed like forever when I was little, it was horrible. Free... free pain that is!
Fairly extensive surgery for a broken nose, cheekbone and some little bone near my left eye, that was a couple of sessions and some of the unhappiest and in the most pain I've been in my life. (health insurance/suing covered that one)
Up until I mangled my knee skiing.
I can't even begin to describe how much that hurt and continued to hurt for about 3-4 months after. Heck, it still hurts if I do anything to put a lot of stress on it, but it works. Mostly... that was covered by health insurance
Bit of laser surgery on my face a few years ago, got rid of a few fine scars and blemishes. I guess that was vanity more than anything else but I do like my skin, to the tune of several thousand bucks.
