Just curious if you had your spleen removed prior to transplant,?

Don't know where this thread started; but, when I had my kidney transplant in 2000 they took out my gall bladder when they put in my new kidney. The transplant team told me at that time that people did better when the gall bladder was removed.

No, gall bladder goes when old liver goes. When I had part of the pancreas removed six months after transplant, they remove the spleen. The surgeon referred to it as “just real estate”.
