Are you still 100% OEM?

[Brent]

I had Circumcision when I was born.

I had all my Wisdom teeth removed a few years ago, were causing me great pain, they were impacted.

I also had surgery for Hyperhidrosis, nothing was removed, only cut.

That is all I've had modified.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Wouldn't being OEM be impossible if you consider the fact that most of your bodies cells die and are replaced continuously?

We're all thinking on a macro-level here. Work with us.

 

[captcalhoun]

i lost half a front tooth at the age of 8 and have a replacement.

had a mole removed...

other than that i am OEM, fully functional and ready for ops.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I lost my innocence when I was 21, and my sanity at 29.

 

[TwoTailedFox]

Over the course of a lifetime we as a people can lose -and even gain- body parts. The former is more common than the latter, but not having anything removed/added is a possilbility too.

So are you still Original Equipment Manufactuer?

Do you still have:

Your wisdom teeth?

Your appendix?

Your -ahem- foreskin?

Have you had any body augmentation?

Me? I'm 99% OEM. I'm only missing what most men in the US are missing as of days into being born.

1) Check.
2) Check.
3) Check.
4) No.
5) Your self-esteem?

 

[Pingfah]

I have no wisdom teeth, and part of my hamstring is now my Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I lost my innocence when I was 21, and my sanity at 29.

I lost both at the same time, when I was 20.

 

[RyanKCR]

Well, I have a dacron patch in the wall between the ventricles of my heart. I still have my original main pulmonary artery but it was never attached to the heart. I have a gortex conduit with a stented bovine valve going from the lower antierior part of my right ventricle to the left pulmonary artery. I even have a St Jude AICD.

 

[Michael Chris]

Oh, I'm missing part of my two big toenails.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Oh, I'm missing part of my two big toenails.

Me too, sort of. Back in high school I had both of my big toes operated on 'cuz they were ingrown. (Thanksgiving of 1986 was one of the most painful experiences of my life, let's put it that way.) So they fixed it so the nails *can't* grow.

 

[Michael Chris]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

 

[John Picard]

No. Probably at the 95% level.

 

[Cicero]

I'm considering having my wisdom teeth removed. They've grown in fully in line, but my mouth is just slightly too small for them, which is slowly pushing some of my other teeth slightly out of alignment. They're also my only unsealed teeth.

Otherwise, I've had no operations or removals (which, I suppose, obviates the "otherwise").

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I lost my innocence when I was 21, and my sanity at 29.

I lost both at the same time, when I was 20.

And I'm still waiting on the software patches and replacement drivers.

 

[Amaris]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

I had the same thing done, except they still grew back, but they haven't done the ingrown thing since then. *knock on wood*

[Lonemagpie]

A couple of molars missing, but other than that 100% OEM, no additions.

A lot of dented and broken parts, etc though

 

[TrekkieMonster]

Much to my chagrin, and based on medical advice of doc's in the early '60s (i can't blame my parents), i'm missing one especially significant (to me) piece of original equipment.

I am intrigued.

Calling Shameless, calling Shameless: He's "intrigued" by my circumcision.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. And you know he was bound to pop up and make a comment all on his own.

Anyway, yes, back in the day -- at least in my hometown -- the doc's didn't even give the parents an option. My mom was told to bring me to the doctor's office something like a week after I was born to be circumcised. Being the dutiful mother, she did it. Damn her Borg-like compliance.

 

[starrchild]

Removed: Tonsils
4 Teeth - for Braces
Wisdom Teeth

Added: Gortex Dialysis Access
Simon Nitinol Filer - a little metal thingie placed in the inferior vena cava for, as the card in my wallet states, "the control of pulmonary embolism"
2 Kidneys - 2 different kidney transplants; the 1st one which quit is still there, just hanging around.
2 Hip Replacements - not done at the same time, thank goodness

I can give him a hands-on lesson.

 

[Theodore Jay Miller]

Circumsized, some wisdom teeth removed, and metal rods added after I broke my ankle this year.
