When the appendix is removed it is usually due to appendicitis. The doctor will recommend that you do not lift heavy objects for 6 weeks, and not allow the stitches to get wet.

Can you die from having your appendix removed?

No, you cannot die from having your appendix removed as long as the surgery follows proper procedure, involves no complications, is timely and precedes proper post-operative care. The appendix holds non-vital status with the tonsils as parts that the body does not need for proper functioning and survival. Its removal must be a procedure in the hands of a capable surgical staff and of competent post-operative caregivers.
