Medical Question

[J'Pol]

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.

What would the worst case scenario be.

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&#39;s a bit of a blow.

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

I wouldn&#39;t trust muchspl2&#39;s medical diagnosis over the internet, it can&#39;t be accurate.

no you need that also, you could sell a kidney or a testicle, but not sure of the black market prices
