I'm 24. I got breast reduction surgery last year. Really glad I did that!

And the painkillers they give you afterwards are fun times? Trying to switch from painkillers to tylenol is not as fun. XP

I had my Gall Bladder removed in 2010 the week of the Chicago Marathon, which I was registered for. They had to actually cut me open with the laproscopic attempt didn't work. I was in the hospital for 8 days and had another 2 precedures to stop the internal "leakage". Needless to say I didn't run the Marathon and after my 2 weeks recovery time I went on to gain 60lbs. So now I am here!

I'm probably going to end up having surgery on my thumb again as it's never healed and it's in my writing hand. I'm trying also to have LASIK but because my credit score isn't so great due to numerous doctor's bills and their lovely ability to only remind me that I have them after they've turned me over to a collection agency I don't qualify for their billing support right now.

Wisdom teeth when I was about 20..

& an "eye-ectomy'? --- just before my 3rd birthday due to retinal cancer, but I'm still hot & sexy with my plastic eye

debloves2ride

where to begin? I'll start at the feet:

bunnionectomy right and left feet
reconstructive ankle surgery right
knee arthoscopic - torn meniscus left
left knee replacement
right knee replacement
appendectomy
two c-sections
ganglion cyst removal left hand
carpal tunnel surgery right and left hand
right thumb joint replacement
left thumb join replacement
tonsilectomy
wisdom teeth

that doesn't cover the miscellaneous stitches, concussions etc... as the saying goes - if i had known I was going to live this long, i would have taken better care of myself.
