Yeah, I didn't count wisdom teeth.

Nor did I count when a lady doctor had to dig out an ingrown toenail. Most painful fricking thing of my entire life.

I've had two. One on the eyes and one on the butthole. I had a shitty outlook on life, but I'm good now.

You really thought you could just sneak this in the middle.

I'm in my early 30's. I've never had a "real" surgery. Had wisdom teeth removed. Almost had to have surgery to re-set my jaw after it healed improperly after a break. But that's as close as I've gotten.

How was this? I really need to get it done, but I’ve heard that results aren’t great.

Forgot about that one. Took a big chunk out my ear and grafted skin back. That surgery hurt the most of all.

Had it done, Was down in out for around 10 days. No problem after till I blew out my other knee. Pasted having that one done, Took about 6months for it to heal back up. Was told I would need knee replacements in 5 years. Been about 14 years from that ACL surgery. Knees are shot, but keeping what I have for now.

At least once a year, just for the fun of it.

PRK and wisdom tooth removal. If those don't count, then zero.
