Is it possible to carry on a full and active life if you have one of your livers removed surgically.

I'm a bit short of cash just now and was thinking of selling one to raise some readies. Otherwise there will be no apple in the near future.

I believe that up to 80% of the liver can be removed with no immediate danger. As to a normal live afterwards, leave that to the experts to answer.

That's a bit of a blow.

What about one of my pancreases. Would I have to cut back on the sugary foods ?

This is a serious money raising venture.

Do you think I should try e-bay. 1 testicle + 1 kidney. Must sell as pair.

Should I include a photo ?

I suppose I could take your advice. Sell one of the livers for a trial, say a month.

If it doesn't work out I could always have it put back in.

Sell both of your bollocks, you'll still have plenty left.

You could sell your liver and go on the new Strongbow life support drip. Static at the moment, but a portable is in the testing stages. It is not too heavy to carry around. Actually gets lighter afer most alleyways. :rolleyes:

You could sell your small intestine by the foot.

Sorry, there is no easy way to break this kind of bad news, you only have 1 liver and don't go trying to sell your spleen either, it too is unpaired.

He can still donate 80% of his liver and very quietly on the side ask for a small donation in return. Even 1 kidney is up for grabs these days :D
