Large cyst removed from spleen

Posted , 1 user is following.

i thought id let you guys know that having your spleen removed is not always the only option. Im two weeks post surgery after having a huge cyst deroofed. They drained 2 liters of gunk and ive lost 7lbs in weight (bonus) it was key hole so only 5 small cuts and i only took paracetamol nothing more after. first week was uncomfortable but i highly recomend you ask for this as an option if you can.
