How far are you from the drone when it's warning of magnetic interference?
You would have to be very close to affect the drone's compass.
If you are two metres away, you wouldn't have any effect.
And aren't your surgical bits made of non-magnetic metals anyway?

One other possibility is that the compass is disconnected.
Check the compass data in the Sensors section of the app to see what it says there.

Have you checked the compass status in the GO 4 app in drone menu under Advanced Settings -> Sensor State -> Compass ? Is it still "Excellent" or at least "Good"?

No it is barley red.  It won't lt me calibrate the compass in the horisantal position

Then I guess you should contact the DJI support. There seems to be something wrong with the compass  hardware chip or so. Keep us up to date!

DJI charges you $149 just to look at it.  Any suggestions on where I might get the compass fixed cheaper

Surgical stainless steel has never affected  my drones but the rebar in concrete and even if it is near the car can set that off.
I regularly get the compass calibration warnings, but the magnetic interference is usually cleared by moving the drones location a few feet.

Hi I wonder if you can let someone else try to spin the drone for you, just for once, to test if it's a hardware issue? Let your friend stand 3 meters away from you or so, and let him do the calibration instead. So that you can figure out if this is a hardware issue of if it's the implants affecting the drone.

If it's not the implant, then maybe you can go back to the guy who repaired your drone and let him fix the chip for you ?

Hi there. Had  a friend that got a hip replacement and that was not made of Titanium so he therefore got a small card from the hospital to show at customs when going flying and going trough the metal detector. So having a friend calibrating the compass 3 meters away from you would prove this.
