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.

dammnnn that's a lot, I wouldn't be able to handle all that, props to u

Besides dental work, I've had:

-a PDA ligation at three months (the ductus arteriosus [the thing that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta] didn't close properly in the womb)
-an eye surgery to correct an astigmatism in 1987
-a tonsillectomy in 1989
-a mastoidectomy (where they removed some bones in my right ear bc something called a cholesteatoma) in 1992
-another ear surgery to fix a burst eardrum (left ear?) in 1993
-a smile correction surgery in 1997
-a nose job/face lift in 2004*

*The nose job and face lift actually turned out to be quite necessary. During the pre-op appointment, the doctor discovered I had a deviated septum that needed fixing, and the face lift was because of a facial palsy I have, part of a rare genetic disorder called CHARGE syndrome.
