Experiences with

Appendectomy

Curious if anyone here has also had an appendectomy and then, thinking back on it, presented PA symptoms a short time later? Thank you. And I'm an American. Seems I'm one of the few, but it's good to be here.

Prior to chemo I had a complete hysterectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and transverse colon resection. I now have a recurrence, with a tumor near the sigmoid colon and rectum. There is no surgery or radiation treatment they can do for this.

Now being around one year ago which began the discovery of Stage IV progression, the finding of mets inadvertently during an attempted Appendectomy, subsequent second successful attempt at Appendectomy and Hemi Colectomy, which removed tumors from my Peritoneal, Appendix and a small part of my Colon,

In 2019 I also had a bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy. In July2019 I was in remission but in March 2020 recurred achieving my current "partial response" stable status by October 2020. My CA125 Friday was stable. 16.

I previously saw a reply mention that B12 deficiency could happen after having an appendectomy (maybe gone wrong?). I am wondering if anyone has any information on this? I am unable to find the comment now, but would love to know more.

Just 24hrs post appendectomy and discharged few hours after surgery. Very painful due to the gas inside me as well as the surgery. Any advice?

Liver biopsy during gall bladder & appendectomy surgery. Diagnosed, not treated. Anyone hear been prescribed medication for this? Is it common for the gastro surgeon to not treat after diagnosis and send you on your way with only diet instructions? I weighed 150 at the time 2019 and now 170.

I’m particularly worried about any abdominal surgery as I’ve already got scars from an appendectomy and epigastric hernia repair and want to make sure I see someone who can minimise scarring and also get me out of this horrific pain.

It was an open appendectomy so I realize it’s a big surgery. It has now been 4.5 days after the surgery, we are still in the hospital (not ICU); I want to make sure we are on the right track and not missing anything. I love my dad very much and want the best for him.

One was a routine appendectomy then a couple of years latler I had a bowl obstruction that required a laparotomy removing scare tissue from my small intestine. Over the last two years I have been unable to see a gi doc and have have nausea and vomiting everyday with narrow stools.

Hi all, wanted to know if here is anyone who may have experienced appendicitis during the first trimester, did you have surgery and manage to carry to term? I'm in so much pain, at first I thought it was an ectopic pregnancy as pain was only on my right hand lower abdomen, once dr rule that out i thought

Also, can an appendectomy be done by going in through the side chest wall? With thanks, Maxim

Ann had debulking surgery 4th December, full hysterectomy, omentectomy, removal.of some of small bowel mesentery, appendectomy, some other nodules. On 21st Jan, which was an awfully long wait, she had her follow up appointment which confirmed her diagnosis of grade 3c clear cell ovarian cancer.

My husband was taken into hospital last night for an emergency appendectomy. I freaking out a bit as he was taken for surgery at 9.00 and is still in theatre. Anyone know how long this op normally takes please? x

Does anybody here knows why i still much pain above my belly button. I had appendecitis surgery 5 weeks ago. It is not a constant pain but when it hurts it drive me crazy and i can barely breath. And sometimes i feel very normal and after few days the pain its back again. Anybody can tell me (suggest

We’ve been on a rollercoaster ride with medication following an appendectomy last summer, and have just gotten “back on track,” but our boy has had a growth spurt and I don’t want to keep playing with dosages right now, so looking for ways to “boost” what he gets from meds.

I had an appendectomy a week ago. Past 3 days been having some sharper lower right sided pain and im dizzy, lightheaded with not frequent but there waves of nausea. No fever. Anyone have post op infection after an appendectomy? What were your symptoms?

This year following an appendicitis and appendectomy, I noticed pain in shoulders and neck. A week later, I could barely walk or tie my shoes. The pain was unlike anything I've ever felt. The pain was mainly in the shoulders, hips, hands, wrists, and arms.

When I was 16 I had an emergency appendectomy which unfortunately didn’t go as planned a day surgery surgery meant to take half an hour allowing me to leave the same day turned into 3.5 hours in theatre and an 1.5 hours in recovery room followed my four day stay in hospital on morphine.

I was rushed into hospital for an emergency appendectomy; via laparoscopic incisions. Whilst the surgeons removed my appendix, they said they would look at everything. No sign of endometriosis, ovaries normal.
