Looking for the appendectomy scar

I had mine removed three years ago , just after New Year. I had keyhole surgery , so just three small scars hardly visible . One across the belly button and two in my bikini line . One on the left and one on the right hand side .

Hi, I had my appendix removed when I was 9. My scar is an inch and a half long. 😃

I don't have an appendectomy scar but I now have two hernia repair scars in my groin about an inch above the base of my penis from last month.

I had an open appy on May 20, 1993. How do I remember the date? It happens to be the final episode of Cheers and I was some pissed that I missed it!

I have 3 small ones one in my navel and two in the bikni area I dont mind them I think there fine

Mine was removed in 02. Three tiny little scars but hardly noticeable any longer. I don't remember much about it - other than the ride home from the hospital. Seems like I felt every bump in the road - and I think hit every one of them! About 6 weeks recovery bout 12-15 to 100%.

I had my appendix removed about two years ago.

Mine was done in 1957, so I have the big one. Lots of post op nausea from the gas. Stayed in hospital 5 days. LOVED all the student nurses making over me, bed baths, back rubs, spoon feeding me. I didn't want to go home.

It's not quite the same, but I have four scars from getting my gallbladder removed a couple weeks ago.

I have three along my rib cage and one in my belly button.

I have an appendix scar I don't think its sexy though 😜 😁

I never had an appendectomy. My appendix is still inside and waiting to get infected and burst someday in the future perhaps ...

But I do have a scar going from my sternum curving upwards and then back down around my side to my back. It's from the removal of the right lung and even if I say so myself, it's quite a doozy and so long that it is hard to miss. But there is not one thing sensual about it at all. If I frequented beaches in the summertime it might have been a conversation starter - albeit a somewhat awkward one. But we never were much for beach vacations or swimming for that matter. So it hardly ever shows in a public setting. And the first years afterwards I was uncharacteristically self-conscious about how it looked, all reddish and scarred and ragged looking.

Aside from that, I have some large chemical burn scars from sodium hydroxide emulsions soaking unnoticed on my legs and numerous scars from hand tools that slipped and cut me 'nicely' on the hands and wrists. People might be forgiven for thinking they are botched suicide attempts, but truly, they are just a testament to my clumsiness with hand-saws and chisels.

I have total 7 scars on my abdomen from recent 6 surgeries. Though I still have my appendix but no spleen 🙄

I have a massive appendectomy scar. It got operated 15 years back and still measures 5 inches (approx) in length.

The stitches burst open with puss gushing out. Had to go to the hospital for nearly 2 months after that ro get the open wound tended to.

It was a horrible experience

The picture is available on this site.

Wear those scars proudly all of you, they're signs of a survivor.

Wow sorry to hear that sha. I had the same thing happen when I had my ovary operated on, some how an infection got under my stitches and they popped open when I got home. Scared the shit out of me because I thought my intestine was gonna come out on me. I didn't know at that time it was because of the infection under my stitches.

I had an open appendectomy about 9 years ago. The scar is 2-3in. It looked bigger when I had the surgery, but it's been fading away more and more. When I was pregnant it looked quite large, because of the skin being stretched, however as soon as baby was out, everything went back to normal.

Perhaps ten years ago, they found a tumor in my colon and took out 13 cm of my colon. They worked laparoscopicly (however you spell it) and made a 2" incision down from my navel. You really have to look to find where they went in.

I had an appendectomy about 8 months ago. I have three scars from the laparascopic procedure. I have two small scars from incisions on my waist line, approximately where the waist band of my underwear sit. One on each side. The third is in my umbilicus. They have faded considerably in the past few months and are barely perceptible.

My appendix scar is pretty well faded. I had mine out in 1974, when I was 14. That was before bikini incisions, I believe. Stayed in the hospital for almost a week. The first thing I remember was getting an enema on my side and running to the Jack&Jill shared bathroom. After I woke up, I remember how sore I was. Temperatures were taken rectally every 4 hours for the first 24 hours, after which they reverted to 3/4 times a day. Despite my rectal temperatures being taken at home (even as a teen!),it was very embarassing because I was on my period and using tampons. Mom brought me some loose fitting white cotton bikini panties, which fit below my incision. Sure glad that's over!

Sorry, it was 1978, not 1974. Time flies!!!

I had mine removed in 1957. I was 11 almost 12 and was given an enema the night I had the surgery and at least one each day afterwards until I went home...Those 6 days were fun as I was in a childrens ward and it seemed that everyone one there was getting enemas...We did discuss whether we'd ever had one before...Some had but to others it was a new experience...I remember that one of the boys in the ward said that he got a "stiffy" during the enema !!! I always got one too...

Two hernia scars just above the man toy, done back in the early 50s---about 3" each

Nope just a hernia and hip scar

I had an open appendectomy in Feburary 2008 when I was 15 years old. It was already the time of laparoscopies but my appendix was pinched between my bowel so the doctors decided to an big incision.

I had a girlfriend way back in the day who had an appendectomy scar. Pretty HOT. SHe also had a laparoscopy scar in her belly button which was pretty hot too. She was always so very self conscious about wearing a two piece when we would go to the beach or out to swim. I told her, hey, you've got some pretty impressive battle scars and I totally dig them. You should NEVER be upset about YOU and how your body looks because to ME you are absolutely beautiful,scars and all! She gave in and eventually she was totally ok with wearing a two piece. She was awesomely confident!

No appendectomy scar but I do have one from the top of my chest to the bottom of my ribcage where they used a mini chainsaw to split my chest. Man that hurt. Triple bypass time. Ouchie

I have many scars, open heart is the biggest, but have four rather large abdominal (4 inch) scars from feeding and outlet tubes, 5 laparoscopy for various issues over 25 years and full ankle replacement. So basically punch holes and a crazy roadmap of my abdomen, not happy with it but not much I can do at this point. Oh and stretch marks! Oh My God they were so bad they bled, my second and third child tried to kill me! So yeah general disaster area. ?

I had my appendectomy years ago while in my early 20s. Back then it involved a 6 day stay in hospital and my scar is around 4 ½ - 5 inches long and still very visible to those that care to look. Actually one of my GPs commented on it only a couple of weeks ago. She was having a prod around my lower abdomen and said 'what's this scar for' ? I thought she should have known that...

I have an appendectomy scar from when I was 14 years old, 30 years ago now. I was quite ill and had a week long hospital stay. That operation and hospital stay was I think where my interests started.
