Ummm baby - I'd take that "disgusting" body anytime!!! We are gonna have to do a self image redo on you buddy! And lapi scars are the BEST - it means you didn't have to have such invasive mess done. Be proud of your scars ;)
 
My ribs make me feel self-conscious. Terribly. My right sticks out more than my left. I can't wear certain shirts because of them. And I know it's not just me. Josh sees them too. AND when I was little, my mom took me to the doctor because the right one stuck out too far.

lol...I don't have a pic of me in my bikini on this computer...I do have some other interesting pics though...might be a bit much for people though....lol
 
Ris, your scars may be small but they are still significant. Why do they have to go in at such far apart points? And what's the wee scar in your belly button? Is that from the GB as well?

Like the belly jewellry BTW. I forgot to put mine back in after my MRI and it's closed over now :(
 
:( That sucks hun. I've had my belly button pierced 6 times. This time it's staying in because I had it done with titanium.

I have 4 scars, and that includes the one under my belly button that smiles :) During laproscopic GB surgery, they go in at 4 points (usually): upper abdomen, 2 on the right side, and 1 in the belly button. I'm not sure why so far apart.... maybe so they can get in there with all the tools and not get entangled in my stomach? IDK about you, but when they're all in there, I don't want them mingling! ;)

Cool! I have 13 scars on my tummy. Most of them are from laproscopic surgeries. One is like a c Section scar, but bigger and one is from when I had a PEG. Oh, not to mention that i have an ileostomy bag that also takes up a lot of space on my tummy. Fun fun!
 
god Ris!
wish my bod looked like that hunny!
My hystarectomy scar looks like a map of Wigan!
 
I had a hysterectomy when I was 32 and the incision took 28 stitches-it's a bada** scar but I ain't brave like Ris and Peaches! You ladies rock!:thumleft:
No one should say anyone's scar is ugly, though...I look at it like it's physical proof you fought back against disease and won!
 
A male friend of mine told me that we shoudl all be proud of our scars. They are our forever badges of honor.

And hey .. some people say scars are hot. ;) haha

Wow haven't seen this one in ages, many from here have left. The poster Mini and I are very close even today.

I have some scars but there is not enough money or all the tea in China to show mine lol. Just to gross for me lol.
 
Hi all, I am going to post my pic of my under carriage after I had a pilonidol sinus op. Was my most painful op to date. My under carriage looks like a war zone after various abscess draining ops.

Just before colectomy. What you can't see is the large Pfannenstiel scar and numerous laparoscopic port scars.

Scars are awesome! :thumright: They are great silent storytellers.
