Yeah they said because of the area of the surgery they couldn't risk me peeing on anything and also something about not being able to cross the table so it made it easier for them? Some shit like that. When I woke up I couldn'tpee and it hurt really bad,so imagine getting a catheter put in while you have a scratched urethra and a UTI. It was hell, they kind of had to hold me down. And then my wife said they could have used numbing gel,and they didn't.
I had a blood clot in my lip that needed surgery when I was four. I barely remember it.
I was bitten by a spider on the stomach when I was seven, really bad reaction, a doctor had to basically carve some of my flesh out. That hurt like hell even with anesthesia or whatever. I woke up feeling like someone had stabbed my in the gut.
Not surgery but had to have doctors rearrange my finger bones a few times in high school. I played basketball, broke fingers horribly several times.

I had unexpected mitral valve regurgitation in the fall of 2017 and had to have open heart surgery to repair it. Ran 10 miles on Saturday and was in the ER on Tuesday. Surgery on Wednesday.
3 C-sections, a hysterectomy, gallbladder, benign tumor removal, knee...
I think that's all of them.

6.5 years ago I had my chest cracked open and had a mechanical valve put in my heart. That was fun!
Had my tonsils out when I was a kid.

Huh, I never thought of that. But I never thought of it that way, it makes a lot of sense. To be honest, it felt like a damn roller coaster ride from, "We found a mass." to "Good Morning Mr. TrailerParkRanger, I'm going to be your anesthesiologist for your procedure today."
I have a case of that stuff in my place. Just because, I have to go in for so many scans. I will have to say of the 3 flavors of contrast I've had, banana is by far the worse. Berry is the best. Orange is meh.
Snapped both bones in my forearm and had to have pins put in my arm. Then had them removed a year later.
I was a teenager and I woke up after surgery groggy and out of it with a hard on in my hospital bed and started jerkin it out of instinct. It wasn't until I opened my eyes much later that I realized my mother had been in the room the whole time lol. I hope she at least went for a walk when I started going ham on my ham.

Never had one. I do need my left shoulder done.
I have a tear in my rotator cuff, but I've heard it's a rough recovery so I keep putting it off.

Yea, berry isn't so bad. Banana tastes awful. The office i went had also had chocolate.
I broke both femurs and shattered my right hip. So while I was in a coma they inserted a titanium rod through my left knee extending the length of my femur and inserted the same rod through my right hip which they were also operating on and used screws to fix it to my right femur. The hip was reconstructed with plates and pins. Sometime after that while I was still in a coma I developed compartment syndrome in my lower right leg. So to save the leg from amputation they performed a fasciotomy to relieve pressure in the leg. Thankfully it worked.
Put to sleep for:
-two ingrown toenails. One they messed up so a part still grows along side the nail. Twice a year I yank it out with plyers.
-wisdom teeth. Had all four cut out and removed.
I also had laser eye surgery(mistake) and endoscopy done which wasn't fun. I have a haglund deformity(pump bump) on my right foot I want removed but the specialist is stubborn about referring me to a surgeon.

Adenotonsillectomy (tonsils and adenoids removed).
Inguinal Hernia surgery (that's where your intestine falls down into your scrotum).
Pilonidal abscess removal (from a staph infection, this was one of the most PAINFUL things I had done, because they didn't put me to sleep just numbed the area and then lanced it and scrapped it out and I felt that).

Yeah I almost lost both of them but lucky for me only one of them had cancer.
Eye surgery, most mundane operation that could be done to a human I guess. It was like 10 minutes long.
Honestly balls don't matter too much like it's not like having a micro penis.
I'm always shocked that so many people don't realize just how common this is. A damned good percentage of young boys get one of these in their early years.
Had a tonsillectomy when I was 10; before that, I'd get tonsillitis once every couple months.
Almost had to get a small bead removed from my nose when I was 5 because I was a dumb kid. It was a bead from the little lantern thing the came with the Ninja Turtles 3 Samirai themed figures.
They were eventually able to vacuum it out (plus me sneezing helped dislodge it).

Had my first surgery in 2016, and since then I've had quite a few unfortunately. In 2016 had sigmoidectomy due to a colon cancer diagnosis. Also in 2016 I had my second surgery, it was to get a PowerPort put into my artery for chemo infusions and countless blood draws. Then due to the colon surgery I had a temporary ileostomy for about 8 months, my third surgery was the reversal of the ileostomy in 2017. In 2018, I had my PowerPort removed because chemo was done and blood draws were less frequent. At the end of 2018 I had a two for one surgery, I had developed a hernia in the surgical area around where my ileostomy was due to the weakening of the muscle from that surgery. In 2018 I also had my third child, a girl finally, so I figured my family was now complete and I would also get a vasectomy. So this past December I had the hernia repair surgery along with the vasectomy. Things are finally looking up, no foreseeable upcoming surgeries, which is great since I still have not caught up on all those medical bills. So that's a total of 5 in a matter of two years.
Got double sets of wisdom teeth removed + three other smaller ones under the gums during Spring Break on my senior year. It was...painful to say the least. Didn't feel "better" until I went back to school.
Also after surviving a car accident four years ago, what I remember was them doing surgery to reconstruct my right arm (was a new technology that whatever they used is essentially like bone structurally, so I shouldn't have any issues as I get older). Assuming they did other stuff while I was knocked up on pain pills the first day or two in the hospital, but I don't know any details about it.

Yeah I had it when I was younger and had no idea, I was like "whelp, I just got one huge testicle." Then later on it started to get worse in my late teens when I'd bend over or lift something and went and the doctor checked it out and knew as soon as he saw it what it was. Got the surgery and bam, no more pain after the initial recovery from the surgery.
I had testicular torsion back in 2015 and had to be rushed to A&E to be operated on. I can't even remember how it happened, think it was after playing football, but bruh it was the worst pain in my life.
Felt like one of my balls was being squashed by a vice.

I had my adenoids and tonsils taken out, while I was out they put tubes in my ear drums. The doctor screwed up while taking out tonsils, he burnt the crap out of tongue.
I also had some plantar warts and ingrown toenails removed/lasered.

Shoulder surgery to reattach my bicep to my bone, a back surgery last year to remove part of a disc, and a back surgery in 3 days from today to fuse 3 of my vertebrae together. Not looking forward to the recovery. :(
