Check in if you've had your tonsils, adenoids, gal bladder, appendix, spleen, or some other unnecessary piece or part removed.

Prizes to be announced later for most and/or most unusual part.

I'm still mostly intact, although I did have my gal bladder out last year.

8. lol
a circumcision flamewar?

I went home in May to visit my newborn grandson. On my second day there my daughter mentioned that she couldn't bathe him yet because of his circumcision.

Me : audible gasp. "His what"?
My daughter: "He is my baby, get over it".

Hey, at least she is breastfeeding !

2. I am pretty sure that i had my brain removed
but, it was done in the middle of the night by aliens, and didn't leave a scar.

3. I had my gal bladder out in '99
possibly TMI

I was waiting for my insurance to kick in, as I had just started a new job. I kept having serious attacks but couldn't afford treatment. It finally got so bad I ended up in the ER. The doc took me straight to surgery. When I came out of anesthesia, he said he didn't know how I survived as my gal bladder was gangrenous.

It sucks to be without insurance.

7. gall bladder yanked back in 95, I think
My oldest son had his perfectly healthy appendix yanked at age 15 because the surgeon thought that might be where the watch battery he swallowed (did I mention male teenager?) had lodged. It wasn't. I recovered it in the "collection bucket" a day or so after he came home from the hospital.

Prizeworthy?

18. Believe it or not....
There is an underground plastic surgery network that operates out of hotels. No kidding. Glad to hear you were not in that kinda deal. In OKC a doc killed his wife doing a hotel liposuction.
