Can I Really Have Two Appendixes? Posted: 08-11-05 17:06pm


I had my appendix removed in 1997. I recently had an upper gi. When asked why I was having this done I explained that I still have phantom appendix pain. The raidologist said with a talking to a two year old tone so when was this supposed appendectomy done? Did they take the appendix or just a piece or what did they actually do nothing maybe? The results are back and the report states that my appendix is present. It stated to confirm what I already told them that I had an appendectomy and suggested that maybe I was mistaken and it was just an exploratory scope. I have the pathology reports from the appendectomy and the tissue received was my appendix. What could he have seen that looks like an appendix? Before you say yes to that question it is possible to have 2, my next question to that is wouldn't he have taken both out at once?

At least wouldnt he have told you you had another one?? Maybe it grew back. Strange huh. Cant be any stranger than women who have 2 uteruses. Or fetal tissue growing again after meds to stop it from growing.
