HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY SPLEEN REMOVAL?

DURING MY OPEN ROUX-EN-Y THE SURGICAL TEAM "NICKED" MY SPLEEN WITH THE SPREADER BRACKETS. IT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL THEY WERE BUTTONING UP THE SURGERY. THEY COULD NOT GET THE SPLEEN TO QUIT BLEEDING AND DECIDED TO REMOVE IT. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE OR IS IT MY USUAL "SLEPROCK" LUCK? WHAT ARE MY FUTURE CONCERNS BEING SPLEENLESS? THIS WAS A TRIPLE WAMMY OPERATION (STOMACH, GALL BLADDER & SPLEEN).
