I debated about mentioning my four coronary arteries. They were bypassed, but AFAIK were not removed. And the replacements were from elsewhere in my body.

Colon and rectum, gone.

“Rectum? Damn near killed 'em”.

Forskin removed as an infant. Tonsils removed when I was 5. Wisdom teeth removed when I was 25.

I’m 53, and those are the only surgeries I’ve had.

Sorry for responding 3 years late, but…

Dentist claimed that they were pressing in on my other teeth and would mess up my mouth if not removed. I was modestly skeptical then (never had a problem with them), but since it was covered by my dental insurance, I figured why not and had them yanked. Except for a little bleeding and very modest pain there were no after-effects, which makes me think I could have gotten along with them just fine…ah well, just another hapless victim of Big Dental…

I am missing all of my teeth and I was a victim of genital mutilation at birth by removal of my foreskin.

as aftermarket parts, I have two heart stents, lens implants in both eyes for cataract repair and an aortic graft to repair an aneurysm
