If you had a surgery before, how was it? what was it like? tell us your experience.

My recent surgery happened on 9/18/12. 12 AM on that day, I started to feel pain in the area that was below my belly button. On a scale of 1 to 10 for pain, 2. I went to college with the pain and it was the same, so it didn't bother me, however the pain nearly tripled only if I put pressure on it.

After going to the doctor, he took my blood and urine sample. I was okay and my white blood cell count was normal, but the pain moved to the right, right where my appendix is. My doctor thinks I have Appendicitis and told me to go to the ER if I experience any of the symptoms...which I did.

At the ER I was an hour away to being scanned for anything wrong. Before so I was told to drink the liquid (orange and water) within 40 minutes. I never drank orange before so I drank 2/3 of the 900ml cup in 5 minutes...It started to get crappy. Every tiny sip I drank from 1/3 left of it I almost had to spit it out, I was told to drink all of it...so I did (Thank God).

I was scanned and I got Appendicitis. After the surgery I woke up, feeling like nothing happened. I didn't need to take any pain medication. I looked at my stomach and see 3 stitches. When they gave me the pic of pics of the operation I laughed when I saw that my appendix looked like a mutated shrimp.

Well, it's not really a surgery, but still... quite scary.

There's something wrong with my eyes. I need glasses, sure, but chances of me getting blind were pretty big. I visited the ophthalmologist one day because I kept getting migraine attacks from looking at a screen too long. You may think it's normal but I kept getting it reguarly and actually - way too often, so I thought it would be smart to check if something was wrong. Something was indeed wrong so I got eye drops as medicine.

So six months later I had to check if everything was still going fine. Doctors had to examine my eyes. They numbed my eyes and put needles in them. It was horrifying.

I still can't use this.

The most "surgery" I've ever had was a tooth extraction. The pain of the anesthetic kicking in was worse than the extraction itself (think of the worst brain freeze ever that doesn't let up for ten minutes); actually, the extraction didn't hurt at all. Just felt some pressure and a pop. Afterwards, hydrocodone kept me pain-free and loopy for a week, eating was a hassle and I lost some weight. Yep.

Because staff made me do it. =P

I had surgery for tonsilitis when I was 5, but it went wrong and something else was removed, making me have a permanent cold, but thank god I take medicine to keep it away...

I object to your claims
I've had oral surgery twice in my life. The first time was several years ago. All I really remember was the stuff I had to take the morning beforehand caused me to see double (and no, I don't remember what it was, so don't ask me) and that they had to knock me out to extract the tooth.


The second was a bit more recent and I remember more of, because I was actually awake for this one. I had gone to get a root canal taken care of. Well, they couldn't fix it. They used quite a few tools trying to, each getting smaller and one even breaking while they tried to remedy the situation.


See, what had happened at one point before the procedure was the root of that particular tooth had curved and I guess that made it difficult to fix. So, we had two choices - either I could go to someone with a bit more expertise in order to fix it. Or, I could just get my tooth pulled.

Let me just say for the record that I hate the whole Novocain thing. I always feel the dentist uses way more than necessary and I just hate the whole numbed, swelling feeling that comes with it. I'll be honest - I'd rather they just give me a couple shots and have to deal with minor pain during the procedure than all numbing.

And my hatred of Novocain and the fact that that would happen to me AGAIN (I seem to get a lot of cavities for some reason...) won over me having a permanent gap in my mouth so I just got it pulled. However, I still have the same amount of teeth as a person should have, only because I have two teeth in one hole, or whatever you call it.

No, we don't know how that ever happened.

Surgery? I've had my fair share of them. From birthmark infections at birth, exploratory to take a look at my liver, hernia repair, heart repair. All before I was five, so some exact details are missing but I can just about bet I was one terrified little guy. There might have been surgery involved from accidentally ingesting a bunch of my mom's blood pressure pills too. Stomach pumping I know for certain. Goddamn, looking back at all of this, I'm a medical car wreck. XD

Connor, I'm guessing that's some dead cells or something. Like the yellow, possibly-infected skin beneath a cast in your arm or leg.
I've had surgery about 4 or 5 times.
Once to remove my tonsils, once to remove my adenoids (we assumed they would be removed with my tonsils; they weren't), once to put tubes in my ears, once to take those tubes out, once to put them back in again, and another to take them out again.
I think all I had to do was sit in a room for a few hours and then they took me to the operating table, where I breathed some anesthetic. It put me to sleep, not just numbed me like the dentists do.
Funny thing was, I thought I was wide awake during the surgery and that it only took a few minutes. I obviously must have dosed off, but keep in mind all these surgeries were back when I was about 4 - 10 years old.

Badass Connor: Feels something wrong, goes to school anyway. I would have skipped lel.

I had surgery about ten years ago. I only remember it being like a time skip, then vomiting up a little plastic capsule afterwards. Careless surgeons.
