Tonsillectomy as a kid, a benign lipoma removed in my right leg about 10 years ago, and trigger thumb surgery a couple of years back.
How many surgeries have you had in your lifetime?

tonsils were removed when In was 8. Had an ectopic pregnancy and fallopian tube had to be removed, than had gallbladder stones and an infection, it had to be removed. A few years ago had breast cancer and I decided for a mastectomy

Too many health problems, but here are some I remember:
3 Hernia surgeries between 1970 and 1998 --- ruptured Achilles tendon repair 5 years ago --- breaking the fibula bone in my right leg while hiking --- Da Vinci prostate cancer surgery in 2011 --- 2 skin cancer surgeries including melanoma --- cataract surgeries in both eyes around 1997 --- bunion surgery --- urethral sling surgery --- colonoscopy with removal of potential cancer lesions --- 5th vertebrae crushed in a ski accident in 1970 that created a life-long problem --- backbone osteoporosis (this month I'll have another bone density test) --- finger arthritis that I reversed wearing gloves at night and with Voltaren cream.
And more: numerous pre-skin-cancers removed --- lipoma --- trigger fingers mostly reversed --- ruptured nerves in toes --- unsuccessful snoring surgery --- well controlled knee arthritis --- 3 of 4 tendons in my right shoulder are torn loose; I regret not having gone ahead with a surgery; now I am using my mini gym to strengthen my shoulder muscles to compensate --- tendons and muscles in my left hip are torn that causes me to limp when walking too fast --- I had 3 very close calls with death in my life.

Only one, 1 1/2 years ago a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Have to go now every 6 months to the specialist to make sure it has not come back.
