[Lon]

I have had a VASECTOMY,CHOLECYSTECTOMY,THYROIDECTOMY,APPENDECTOMY ,PROSTATECTOMY

 

[Falcon]

Three; tonsilectomy, vasectomy and laminectomy (on my spine).

 

[Josiah]

I've had the same three as Falcon.

 

[Falcon]

:congratulations: We'll shake on that Josiah.

(4)....Appendectomy, Tonsillectomy, Discectomy, Apicoectomy

 

[Lon]

WHOOPS----I forgot three more ectomys-----MENISCETOMY BOTH KNEES & TONSILECTOMY making a total of eight.
Is that a record?

 

[Josiah]

I think laminectomy and discectomy are the same thing.

 

[Falcon]

Not exactly Josh, but similar. They don't remove the disc in a laminectomy.

[SeaBreeze]

Tonsillectomy only, as a child.

 

[Josiah]

You're absolutely right Falcon. So I had a discectomy not a laminectomy.

 

[oakapple]

Who will win this exciting contest?

 

[oakapple]

Not me, only had the two, tonsils and appendix removal.

 

[ndynt]

Oakapple, do not think any of us want to be the winner

 

[oakapple]

So, I may win by being the loser!

 

[oakapple]

Where is your competitive spirit?

 

[QuickSilver]

I have had three.. a Tonsillectomy, a bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and a polypectomy

 

[Josiah]

At least we all seem to have our alimentary canal in tact. I've known a number of women who are missing large sections and that's something they have to cope with all the time.

 

[AZ Jim]

Oh! Gawd! Don't remind me. A Bunch.

 

[ndynt]

Exactly, oakapple

 

[Josiah]

I wonder if anyone has ever entered oophorectomy in a game of Scrabble?

 

[QuickSilver]

Like that one huh... lol!! In fact... I had it done with the DaVinci surgical system....

 

[Falcon]

Yeah OA, You may get the booby prize. Well, Maybe that's not the right word; depending upon the circumstances.

 

[Misty]

Have had a tonsillectomy as a child.....no other ectomy's but there's still time. :bowknot:

Not playing -- I am disqualified, but I can umpire if needed LOL
