Can I Ask To Have My Appendix removed??
I was wondering does anyone know if I could actually ask my dr. to take out my appendix(sp?). I was just thinking that since they are in there maybe they can take it out. Just a thought.

Can I Ask To Have My Appendix removed??
Hi Princess G!
I say...go for it. It can't hurt to ask.
I forgot to ask about appendix removal prior to my TAH/BSO. And I "forgot again" when I had another abdominal surgery for colon cancer earlier this year. However, the colon-rectal surgeon told me afterwards, "I removed your appendix as well, so if you ever experience a pain on your left side, you know that it isn't appendicitis."
Many s and Best Wishes,

Can I Ask To Have My Appendix removed??
My doctor told me that he was intending to remove mine because the appendix really has no known function and what the heck since he was already going to be in there.
I second that it certainly won't hurt for you to ask.

My friend had a total and was offered (and declined) to remove her appendix - I'd say ask!
