I had mine removed in my late 20s for a pylop. That was back in the days of even fattier foods than are common now - Mexican food was cooked with Lard, and it was pretty disabling at times - even for a few years following when I ate Mexican or pork ribs until my body adjusted.
It was almost unheard then for a male that young to have his out, but it helped so much that my then-wife had hers removed for stones, then my mom did. I'm sure that they needed theirs removed, too - just a random grouping thing. We were an odd looking couple at the lake that summer, as they used huge incisions that left 6" scars in those days.
My 13 yo grandson has been having some abdominal pains lately, and we didn't know if it was teen/puberty related stress, or something organic he's been thru a long list of tests - even ruling out brain cancer, always good not to have. And they finally found a malfunction there. Odd, but good to have the problem identified and a solution lined up for new week. Good that they can do the testing out patient now and a much less invasive surgery with kinder anesthesia that 30 years ago. We'll have to compare scars - want pics? :11:
