Omentum Removal Surgery
by Susan90, Jul 20, 2009 08:17AM
I have been recommended to have omentum removal surgery along with a complete hysterectomy. I do not understand how my body will process/store fat if I have my omentum removed. How can something like that be removed without issue? Is it unnecessary like the appendix?

Why did they specifically suggest your omentum be removed? The omentum has some very specific functions other than some fat storage, so I'm wondering why the heck they'd want to remove that organ. People can get along without it, but why do so if you don't have to - it's not 'unnecessary.'
