Had an Appendectomy. Thought I had some really bad gas pains for a good while..9 hours later was fed up with it and went to the hospital..after some tests were done they realized I had Appendicitis. Push came to shove..boom..surgery in the morning.

So ya..I stayed overnight last night..had it done yesterday morning..fun fun..the nurses/doctors were surprised at how well I handled it and the Anesthesia..no nausea, was able to eat/drink almost instantly, and was up and moving/walking with little trouble. Pretty sweet..so now I'm home with a bottle of Percocet and a week off from work. Weee.... >.>;

I had appendicitis when I was 15. Mine was near burst, the pain was unbearable that I couldn't walk. I had surgery that day, stayed over night, then left. I didn't vomit or feel nauseous from the anesthesia or need help walking around the next morning. It hurt to sit up, but walking wasn't hard at all.

I don't think it's common to stay more than one night for this kind of stuff.

Holy shit, is there a way to induce appendicitis?! I need to get a week off of work and I still have my appendix! :)

Also wondering how much it's going to cost. I don't have health insurance through my current employer, just a bigger paycheck.
You should probably rather go for the insurance in most cases. : /

Just keep eating the shit they feed you and your appendix will eventually explode.

Jenny: Ya, its a normal overnight thing..I was just saying that basically I did well through the whole process..was happy with that fact

Sean: I don't have insurance either..well yet..it starts May 1st..such bad timing! They had a social worker come in and explain that they could cover any costs that were incurred at the actual hospital, but any sort of tests/xrays/etc that were sent out would not be covered, but she also said I could contact those agencies and see if they could help cover part of the bill too.

All in all my current daily routine is wake up, take some percocet, eat a little, go to sleep..rinse repeat..I'm trying to stay awake after taking percocet..it's a struggle at times. But after today I am going to start weening off of the medicine so that'll be nice. Besides..one can never have too much extra percocet laying around! =P

I myself haven't had an Appendectomy yet, but eventually I may end up doing it. It's good to know that you were fine and came out ok.

The only removal surgery I have had was Wisdom Teeth when I was 18. One of the teeth was sideways and growing towards my chin while the other 3 were going up and down. But after a few hours, I was able to eat. But a quarter of my mouth was frozen for 2 days and I had to go to Smackdown in much discomfort a few days after.

You only come visit us after your surgery! Some friend you are...

But seriously, hope you get well soon.

That country has enough reasons to be fucked. And the only insurance he gets is that someone will take his place should he get shot or involved in a terrorist attack: A victim.
