When l tell people, no one believes me.... l am not sure why?
I saw an episode of Embarrassing Bodies (I think) where some woman had recurring infections "up inside". They gave her a thorough examination and discovered she had an old condom stuck right at the top
Worst bit was her partner at the time didn't use condoms
Sorry, off topic!

He said, l must lose weight and funded me to go to Weight Watchers, where l lost over a stone.
Yeah, that was great but l feel dieting might be good for you in one way but bad for you in another way!
I had never had any tummy trouble in my life and then it started, bloating, reflux and pain in my right side. The doctor, prescribed PPIs and thank goodness l read a thread on here that Azz started as l am sure l would still be on them now. (I only took one tablet!)
It was diagnosed that l had gallstones and l had to have the first operation and stitches of my life. I read, dieting can contribute to gallstones forming.
Yet another excellent excuse not to diet!!!

Re: How many operations have you had?
Had my tonsils and adenoids out aged 8Gall bladder removal major as adhesions made keyhole too difficult
In my 20s
A miscarriage
Next a D & C which resulted in what the doctors called 'a missed abortion' I had the D & C because of period problems and it turns out that when they performed that D&C they aborted my baby that I never knew I was carrying.
It was discovered because after the D&C I passed an enormous clot which was caught in a kidney dish as the had wanted a urine sample. I was horrified and pulled emergency cord I the bathroom. The clot was sent for analysis and the results came back 'remains of a feotus' . They had never tested my urine before the op, had they done so they would have discovered I was pregnant whic was unbeknown to me at that time.
I remember crying when I realised I had lost another baby and a vile nurse saying to me "why are you crying, you didn't know you were pregnant" omg how insensitive of that nurse. I was only in my 20s and I was devastated. In hindsight I wish I had sued that hospital but I never did.
1year later I had an ectopic pregnancy
Lymph nodes removed under my armpit
I hope to not need anything else, hospitals are scary places and hold bad memories for most people

Re: How many operations have you had?
Tonsils and adenoids at about 5 or 6.About age 55. Can't remember. Hand operation to remove a small bone at the Base of my thumb.to relieve arthritis pain. It was called a trapeziotomy. It did the trick but I've never tried getting on a trapeze.
I'm sure that's not spelt right but never mind.
