Since I had my appendix removed, I haven't really had an appetite. Is this normal?
Hi! This is a very common and great question to ask. Decrease appetite is very frequent after any type of surgery. It is repated to your body adjusting to the stress as a result from being sick and have surgery. It will get better with time and you will be back to normal appetite in about 4-6 weeks after surgery.
