Appendix surgery at 19.

[Emmhartf]

So, Saturday I went in with pain in right side. They told me not to worry and sent me home. Two days later I was rushing to the Emergency room from vomiting profusely with pain. They took me seriously as I begged them to check my appendix. They did CT scan and came back and said they had to remove it.

When I look at the pictures of my appendix, it was yellow. Does anyone know what causes appendix to be yellow?

Has anyone had the surgery and can give me any advice? Thank yoi

I am ok. Just having the same pain I went it with! Like it’s my appendix, but there is no appendix anymore. I have excessive fluid built up around in my abdomen that I have to get drained and the surgeon said my gallbladder needs to come out next!
