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

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.

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.

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.

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 had emergency appendectomy 5 weeks ago and did well with asthma with GA, took a little while to get my sats to settle after the op but all in all went well.

I had a Total hysterectomy and appendectomy last October. I have a CTscan and blood check up middle of July, but would like some answers to relieve my anxiety just a tad. Thank you x

It is now 3 weeks since my emergency appendectomy- my appendix was gangrenous and nearly ruptured. I required a second surgery 4 days later as I continued to decline in health - they washed out my abdominal area due to the severe infection and put in a drain.

I had total histerectomy, appendectomy, etc, on 5 February 2019.
