I have a huge scar from my appendix bursting and needing emergency surgery. You’re not alone and honestly, wear it as a badge.

That could be retro engineered into a nice silver fern motif

Get a tattoo that reads “Rawlings” or “Spalding” on your belly.

That’s a really nice scar. You didn’t get a skin infection. I got an infection in mine and I have a wide and ugly scar.

How does a gallbladder removal go wrong to extend the incision?
Seems like a wild adventure, I’m glad you came through it healthy enough to take pictures!

*”That’s way too big of an incision! Fuck dude, why’d you cut it so big?! Goddamnit that’s gonna end up being like, idk, like 9 stitches. At least! Fuck dude. That’s such a huge cut. Bro that’s gonna need so many stitches.”*

– the surgical team, probably.

That’s going to fade quite a bit. Then I’d get some ivy tattooed alongside it!

galbladder? Nah, say it was from a sabre fight. “You should have seen the other guy.”

You should tell people you used to be a magicians assistant and the sawing in half bit went terribly wrong.
Yeowch, recovery must have sucked. It’s badass, tho.
I had my appendix yoinked in the early 80s, and the incision was much smaller than that. Still, they tore through muscle to get where they needed to be and it was not easy to get my strength back. Hope it is going well for you!

When I woke up from my surgery I didn’t know/remember anyone’s phone number so I just shuffle walked my way home.

Hey I had my gallbladder surgery go wrong back in 2019. Watch out for the abdominal muscles being cut fucking up the rest of your muscle balance. They cut through my right side and since those ab muscles are weaker now from that surgery gone wrong and I hadn’t been working out it messed up everything from my right shoulder down through my legs. Did PT and now I work out a lot so it’s not as bad, but yeah messed me up

I have a not great scar from my rotator cuff exploding. Not nearly as bad as this. When people ask, I say “there can be only one”. Cool people get it.

Bar fight. No matter who asks you say it was a bar fight

Oh noo that’s scary I’m two days from two weeks since I got mine removed. Feel a lot better now but the first two days was a lot of pain. The diet is also pretty hard to get use to

Damn, I’ve had the exact same surgery and there were times were my split belly button made me a little sad. im really sorry it worked out this way

Thank God you survived after that madman threw a chainsaw at you. At least it can be a good story you survived.
Want to know how I got this scar?

Just tell everyone you got in a knife fight with bear. And if they think your scars wild they should see the bear. Also mount a bear head over your mantle for kicks.

how can i force my gall bladder to be removed to get a very cool scar?
StockholmPickled on
Whoa! I’m glad you’re okay now but dang that’s a cool scar.

So the little hole is the laparoscopic entry? Did they have to cut you open emergently?
ggyujjhi on
No one will ever fault a surgeon for converting from a laparoscopic to an open surgery. No surgeon wants to go open – it takes time, it’s a longer recovery, more chance for wound infection. If they opened it was because something was really bad in there – like a gangrenous gallbadder or so much inflammation nothing made sense. But going from lap to open is always the safe option rather then staying lap and causing a serious injury, letting the patient bleed to death, etc

That’s a pretty good scar from your fight with the bear, but the bear got it worse.

Barely noticeable, Boss.
You’re a badass survivor.
