I got mine out last year. Share your surgery experiences and if you have it or not.

I have mine.

I hope I never have to have it removed... I'm scared of the knife.

I want to keep all of my vestigial organs.

My surgery sucked a lot! It started with a slight pain, and then it got worse. I went to the hospital and had to drink a gallon of this Barium CRAP that tasted like sh!t. It was for the MRI I had to get, wow that sucked. So my appendix was gonna burst, so they had to call in doctors at 2AM on a Sunday night. The surgery went quick, but it killed afterwards. They had to cut all of my right hand abs open, so afterwards I had to rebuild th muscle. It hurt so much!! I was in the hopspital for a total of 5 days

Had mine out when I was 6.... fortunately for me I got appendicitis while I was in the hospital for other reasons, as they barely got it out in time.

Got appendicitis the end of eigth grade (as in about a week before "finals"), so I had it removed. Pain started one night, became unbearable so that I barely got any sleep. Morning went to the emergency room, argued with some nurses so my appendix didn't blow while I was waiting around (still waited a few hours, though) and finally got in and had the surgery (last thing I remember was them telling me something about an "orange cocktail" they were injecting which would make me pass out).

Yeah, I think I was out of school for a week. Got some nice sympathy from my teachers, missed a concert (I went and watched it, though), and all was well in the end.

I still have ALL of my OEM parts.

I used to get tonsillitis about every year as a kid and the Doc. would say "We'll cut them out as soon as the swelling goes down." Well he never did and I eventually stopped getting tonsillitis so I guess it's OK.

So, with the exception of a few millimeters of skin on one appendage, I still have everything I was born with.

I had mine removed when I was 5.
I had unbearable pain in the area around the appendix, so the doc decided that it should be removed. After the operation, the doctors realized that my condition was not caused by my appendix...
Oh well, one less danger in the future for me.

oh man i had mine taken out about a year ago or so.

I just felt really sick. Good thing my wife made me go to the "urgent care" part of the clinic. They rushed me to the hospital and i had the surgery about an hour later. though the apendix was in the wrong place. When the surgeon made the first cut (about an inch long) he couldnt find it. But he seen some of the fluid it was leaking and then found it. But he had to make a longer cut. They also had to cut and move some of the muscle (that hurt a lot) I now have a 4inch smile on my tummy. also some of the tape they put on came off. So one end has a really nasty fat scar tissue. its pretty nasty.

thanks G-d yes...I am surprised how many people have had surgeries!

Had mine taken out about 3 1/2 years ago. The appendix had already ruptured before I went to the hopital at night. Had to love it when the doctor pokes you and ask if it hurts, then presses the other side... then back over, rinse and repeat a few times. I went in for surgury around 2 AM on the day of my birthday, spent 7 days in the hospital for a grand total of $17,000 and some change.
