Looking for the appendectomy scar

Anyone there with an appendectomy scar? I think appendectomy scars are very sensual.

I had my appentectomy a little over a year ago. When I was talking with the surgeon before I went down to the OR, he told me that if it wasn't ruptured then they would remove it laprascopically. I didn't know they did that.

I was happy when I woke up and was able to take a look at myself that the surgeon didn't have to cut me open the traditional way. I had three little areas. One about 3 inches away from my belly button on the right side, one in my belly button, and one right at my pubic hair line. With the exception of the one in my belly button, the cuts were only about 1.5 cm long. They were glued shut and a steri strip was put on top of them to help ensure their closure.

After less than 6 months I would say, the areas were hardly visable. And today, I can't even find them. Modern medicine is fantastic. I was told by the surgeon that if he had to open me up I would have to stay at the hospital 3-5 days post op, and with a lap, just 23 hours. So I went in on an emergent basis from work on Friday night, went to surgery Saturday morning, was released Sunday morning, and was back to work Tuesday night.

While the new less invasive proceedures don't do anytyhing for your love of appendectomy scars, it's much better for the body, and cheaper for your wallet, lol.

I have one since 1995 not too big a scar

I don't have an appendectomy scar but I do have scars from my breast reduction.

I have an appendectomy scar. Mine had ruptured and they had to remove it quickly the old way. No laproscopy for me!

I have one, about 2-1/2 inches long. I had the operation when I was 7. I remember being in pain in the emergency room n listening to the doctor explained to my mom that i needed a surgery asap. I was too much in pain to even understand what was going on. Back then laparoscopy technology wasn't born yet, so I had the regular operation. I stayed in the hospital for 6 days post-op.

The scar used to be pinkish and ticklish when touched. Now it is a tat brighter than the skin color. I kinda like my scar. It is a tiny imperfection on my smooth stomach, n I think the imperfection makes it sexy.

When I go to my ob/gyn for yearly checkup, she always lightly touches it and makes mention of it.

I had my appendix removed in 1982. Probably about a 3 inch scar, and yes, it's still there. I can see why people would be into them. I kind of like it myself. I was in very severe pain starting about 14 hours before the emergency appendectomy, and I would say it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Once they had me sedated I felt better and after the surgery I felt much, much better. I also had a six or seven day hospital stay, though I was climbing the walls the last couple of days out of sheer boredom.

I have a huge one. A real fiasco.

Appendix can be even removed by vaginal way

I have appendectomy scar at age 12 .

I have some scars on my abdomen (appendectomy, intestinal cyst and some mole removals), so doctors usually inspect, palpate and ask about them. To my appendectomy scar, doctors often asked if "there was not more" because it is a conspicuous and longer scar! I never liked all that asking and palpating there...

My huge one.

A little over three inches long. Getting harder to see now after 56 years . Had it done just before I turned seven.

You can hardy see mine now

I had an appendectomy as a child with infected complications. The scare is really like a second navel. When people used to ask over the years I just confessed that I was an alien from another planet where we all have two belly buttons.

Can hardly see mine anymore. About 12 years ago. Geez I was in Canada and it hit me. I just remember wanting to go home. I did - by boat. It was almost the end of me. Ruptured right when they opened me up. Thank goodness I was in the operating room. Lifes lessons - do't leave country without travelers insurance!

I had my removed in May of 79, I had been rushed in by my parents and told I'd be kept in over night. At around 10:30 the nurse came with a surgical gown and I was washed and dressed in the gown. A little later I was given a pre op and then wheeled down to the theatre. I was given a full gas induction by a very nice female Dr who was sympathetic as she gassed me. When I woke I was sick from the gas and had a 4 inch scare. I was later told that it was about to rupture so they timed it right. From this point I have had a gas fetish and long to relive the gassing.

I had mine removed in 1980 when I was in my 30s. I went to a small, rural hospital (I was one of three patients in the hospital) otherwise it would have been an hour drive. The surgeon called an MD friend who lived about twenty miles away. I had to wait while he drove to the hospital and then the two of them, with a nurse did the surgery. I have a pretty large scar, maybe 4 inches. You can't miss it.

I am loaded with scars from sports injuries.

Most of my visible scars were accidentally self inflicted. Some from years as working as a fry cook. Most of them are pretty faded and only show up when I've had a good tan.

The one emergency surgery I had left almost no discernible scar. I heal rather well I've been told by more than one doctor.

The only ugly scar I have is the one where a mole was removed.

No appendectomy scar but multiple skin biopsies and excision sites. Oh, and that pesky circumcision scar :-)

I've got a huge scar. Mine got infected and I had to go back to the hospital for another week and a half. Ended up having another surgery where they cut out a bunch of infected / dead muscle and fat (or whatever it was?!?). Got a big divot where the scar is too.

@BenDover, my scar became infected as well. I too have a small indentation in the middle of the scar. Since my recent keyhole hernia surgery I now have 4 very nice abdominal surgery scars. I'm building a collection!

I have an appendectomy scar from 1982 when I was a teenager. It's 2-3 inches long and definitely noticeable. I was in hospital for about a week.

I got my appendix removed when I was 18 years old via the traditional incision. The scar is about 3 inch long and in some parts insensitive.

I have no appendectomy scar but I would like to perform.

No appendectomy, but I had a hernia operation on the right side in 1953. The scar is about 5 inches long. I don't know if they removed my appendix while they were playing around in there.

Had mine removed in an emergency 12th August 1984

I have about a 2 inch scar from my appy when I was 20 yo. Nowadays the only scars are where the trocars go in and are very small. Assuming that it's not complicated requiring an open incision.
