The other surgeries do not count the same as C/Sections, so you really have had only one surgery where the wall of the uterus was weakened. You are as eligible as anyone that has had one C/S, but your absolute eligibility will depend on what type of C/S was done, as well as a host of factors from this pregnancy.
