have you ever gotten surgery? (1 Viewer)

[daesuki]

ive never had a surgery but next week it'll change, I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled and I'm quite scared-- not of the surgery itself mostly, thought that's a bit of a worry. i worry about the aftercare bit because I am prone to forgetting super easily lol

i had eye surgery and it scared the hell out of me cause i was conscious for the whole thing but honestly, as long as the doctor is calm, everything will be fine :)

back in first grade - twas on my nose because I was getting nosebleeds basically 24/7

and speaking of wisdom teeth I'm getting mine removed as well in a month. I'm scared I'm gonna accidentally say something embarrassing while I'm laced up on meds

I had tubes put in my ears then my wisdom teeth pulled.

Also your recovery shouldn’t be too awful bad, there was a day for me where the pain got pretty bad but as long as you remember the medication (and your doctor gives you strong enough stuff) then you’ll be fine. Also I wouldn’t recommend eating until the day after the surgery, I had almost gotten sick after I drank some soup and I can imagine that wouldn’t be pleasant after that kind of surgery. You’ll be fine!

Yes I've had quite a few.
My jaw, and had to wear a halo to push my top jaw forward to match my bottom jaws, I wore this for 6 weeks.
My nose a few times since the doctor when I was just 6 months old fucked it up because he was too old fashioned(I am not blaming him for that though).
I also had a hernia operation when I was 6 months too.
Both of my hips but at different times in my life and had both sides a bone taken out and put into the roof of my mouth to cover the hole there.
I've had a part of behind my ears taken for my nose as well.
I think that's it but I've been in and out of hospital my whole life until my early 20's.
I have a hare lip and cleft palate, so being in hospital was kind of a regular thing for me.

A few yeah, a couple on my right ear and three on my right knee (it’s prone to dislocating and not going back in correctly)

If talking about dental surgeries, I had a plenty. Wisdom tooth is actually very easy, it takes like what? 10 mins?? The only thing that shocked me was the size of the injection for local anesthesia. It's really big lol.

I had surgery for a deviated septum b4, my left side of my nose (i can feel a little protrusion inside) is blocked n maybe caused my asthma/gives me trouble trouble breathing freely: it dint work, i think the surgeon cut it (the cartilage/protrusion) or sth but it grew bk, which now looking bk is wat i rmbr being told to me then but it couldnt hv grown bk so quickly rite? So maybe they cut it but couldnt completely finish it cos of complications or sth? All i knows is the left side of my nose is still deviated/protrusion inside.

Just a wisdom tooth last year, it took longer than expected because my jaw is quite strong so it was rooted in there good...guy had to cut it up piece by piece to get it out safely cause it was near a nerve.
But it wasn't too bad.

 

[Ahsoka]

I had a mole removed and an endoscopy

 

[RandAlThor]

Yes several times.

Aside from accident repairs.

the hardest par for me is the wake up in the recovery room. sometimes it so similar to the or that i felt i was waking up in the or.

my wisdom teeth did not require a general i did em one night and was beck to work the next day...

That Was a mistake ) my face was huge.

no straws, smoking or hot food was i think my list.

 

[Magician]

Nope, never

I had dental surgery twice in 2016.. The first for an extraction since the dentist didn't do root canals and the state I was in wouldn't cover root canals for a dentist that did. I did have also a cavity removal on my front teeth as well. I made the mistake of running my tongue against them when the dentist was grabbing some utensil for the surgery and the back of them felt like they had been chiseled down into triangles and I was inwardly panicking, but when everything was filled they looked the same as before. Minus the cavity.

edit: In the next few years I'm likely to undergo another surgery. c.f. spoiler

I have neurological issues that cause me to use medications that are effective somewhat, but when the insurance I have has become entirely sure that they are ineffective I will be eligible of having a device implanted in my arm that sends electrical impulses to my brain. So that's something to look forward to
