Comments Thread For: Eimantas Stanionis Forced To Go Emergency Appendectomy Surgery, Vergil Ortiz Fight Postponed

[Malvado]

I hope Stan recovers well, it is fine to postpone the fight till April if necessary, at least there will be other fights scheduled at the time while waiting. Benavidez vs Plant is in March while Jesse Rodriguez vs Cristian Gonzalez might become a co-main event with Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Eimantas Stanionis.

I was looking forward to the fight, but fans shouldn't blame the fighters because of an illness or an injury during camp. These things just happen.

He is making an escuase so when he looses to Ortiz, he can blame it on this.

You are either joking or brain-dead.

He been eating hot cheetos and takis?

That Paqui one chip challenge is no joke yo....

Well, hey, maybe Crawford will fight Ortiz Jr. then.

2 weeks recovery would be superhuman, I had keyhole surgery to take out my gallbladder, it took 5 weeks to recover

Appendectomy is pretty minimally invasive. But I’m sure they would want him to have at least a month. I had three little holes and didn’t feel anything. Doctor cleared me to start working out in 48hrs.

I think they remove it with keyhole surgery now but not sure - in old days it needed several months to recover.

I'm a Med Surg nurse of 7 years so I'm familiar.
I just it was weird how last year Ortiz had to postpone a fight for an appendectomy.
Not doubting either fighter just an interesting coincidence.
And you are correct, post op recovery is much shorter medically.
But from the nursing standpoint, he shouldn't fight any less than 3 months after that surgery.
But for an opportunity of a lifetime like this I don't blame him for going right back at it.

Hopefully he recovers and the fight will be back on
