Experiences with

Appendectomy

Hi, On 16/3 I had a radical hysterectomy, bilateral oophrectomy, appendectomy and omentum for what histology has now confirmed is stage1a adult type granulosa cell ovarian cancer.

Have moderate/severe endo & significant adhesions from laps, c - section & appendectomy. Several laps later, mirena, decapeptyl treatment last year & yet here I am back to square 1 but now perimenopausal for real & in a dilemma.

Following my laparotomy surgery last month (total hysterectomy, oophorectomy, appendectomy and omentum biopsy) I got the all clear. My frozen section and final pathology were both seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour stage 1a. Thank goodness for our fabulous NHS.

I am my PCP oldest patient who had an appendectomy and he is no spring chicken! A lot of med insurance has age restrictions for a lot of tests. Besides ignoring PCa ourselves, about the only commercials about it are peddling some medication.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33876851/ the human appendix contains an abundance of insoluble α-synuclein similar to what has been found in the PD brain  appendectomy occurring decades before disease onset was protective against PD.

My question is does the "pelvic MRI" cover the abdomen (and including diaphragm, since i also have pain behind left shoulder blade which could be linked to surgery i had in May for appendectomy (where surgeon noted ovarian cysts - thank goodness after not being taken seriously and no sonographer finding

Knee pain, lower back pain, musclepainbehind the legs, vertigo, non-stop headache, pain and tingling in the left arm, photosensitivity, nasal congestion, appendectomy, name it all. I have graduated from one medication to another. From physicians to specialists.

She is due in hospital at the end of this month to have it removed by doing a full Hysterectomy also a appendectomy and a omentectomy also to remove a small section of intestine and some tumours from the top right dome of her diaphragm.

In the last 15 years I have had: an Appendectomy; a Laparoscopy that diagnosed and treated mild endometriosis + adhesions between my ovary and intestine; successful pregnancy; and, an emergency C section.

This necessitated a total hysterectomy and appendectomy, fortunately both tumours were benign. In 2021 I started to have weight gain (not experienced previously) which I’ve not been able to completely lose and some hot flashes.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.
