Best Answer

A typical human spleen weights about 6 ounces if healthy. The spleen can sometimes become painfully enlarged if there is a systemic infection.

Do you lose weight when you have a spleen removed?

Because you may not feel like eating much in the first week or two, you might lose a few pounds as you recover from surgery.

Even an enlarged spleen does not weigh more than 3 or 4 pounds. In most cases, removal of the spleen does not result in significant weight loss.
