Some time ago my neuro noticed that that my white cell platlet count was low. He sent me to a hematologist who discouvered I had ITP this is a desease whereby my white blood cells are killing each other. Since the spleen creates antibodies around the cells to combat infection in this case the speen was actually aiding my cells destroy each other. hence my spleen had to be removed.As this operation was done laproloptically (small holes in your body) rather than incission. They have small lights and cut out small pieces of the spleen then remove them. There is no post operation pain just a little discomfort. I hope this answers your question lol gerry

Gerry,

So glad to hear that you are doing well with only a little discomfort.  I 
probably missed an earlier posting from you, but if I may ask, why did you 
need to have the spleen removed?


Best of luck to you.
