Maybe, but...: 1st question: was your appendectomy performed for inflammation, a tumor, prophylactic, or incidental? 2nd question: have you recovered fully from surgery? 3rd question: could you tolerate eggs before your appendectomy? The removed appendix accounted for only a 9cm long segment out of the total gut surface area, served uncertain function, ; probably did not contribute to your food intolerance.

Yes: Your appendix is not involved in digestion.
