Yup, twice.
Once when I was 17, the other a couple of years back. It's not too bad, just make sure you do /every/ exercise offered to you by physio. Building up strength is the single most important thing you can do to ensure a decent, quick recovery.
Since mine were both on my weaker left leg, this involved a lot of weight/resistance work. It's hard but if you stick at it you can be back to nigh-on full mobility in a few months. Just don't expect it to ever be the same as it was previously.
