I have had lots

Baby-relocation of hips and hip spica casts-minor
Age 4-Muscle biopsy-minor
Age 8-left hip surgery for dislocation and shallow socket-pins & plates-major
Age 9-right hip surgery for dislocation and shallow socket-pins & plates-major
Age 10-removal of pins and plates-major
Age 17-g-tube-major
Age 17-fundoplication-major
Age 17-port-a-cath-major
Age 17-anterior spinal fusion-major
Age 17-posterior spinal fusion for 125* curve-very major
Age 17-scrubbed bone and hardware because of VRE infection in back wound-major
Age 17-tracheostomy-major
Age 17-Transitioned g-tube to gj tube-minor
Age 21-removal of port-a-cath-minor

Upcoming @ age 22-surgery to unblock lymph vessel and lymphangiectasia caused by scar tissue-major

They typically put people out to replace GJ tubes but I don't because of the harm to my lungs. If that counts-10 more minor-just had one done today

If chest tube counts there's another minor

If stitches count-7 more minor

I am no stranger to surgery and procedures and hospitals
