That’s bigger than what I thought. It’s healed well though.

It's even better now another year down the line I think the mercedes cut is better a lot of people who have the Lexus scar seem to suffer with hernias and it's big because the liver is the biggest organ 😁

Yours is so high up. I’ve got the Lexus and it intersects my bellybutton. And yes πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ two hernias here.

That's really high up! Mine's between the bellybutton and ribcage... No hernias luckily 😊 Yours seems to have healed really well especially considering the metal staples πŸ‘

Thanks for that jojo - very brave and good of you to publish. Wow that makes mine seem trivial - and i was so waiting to show it with pride when i eventually am allowed to swim..Now i’m going to have to hide it in shame 😬

Don't be daft wear it with pride it's a battle scar we all should be proud off and I was lucky with the surgeon I have never seen a neater scar 😁

Wow that was quite a scary scar but it's faded really well. My most obvious scar is from my thyroidectomy done 25 years ago. It's still red and shows up even more in the summer. It hasn't ever been an issue though it's just one of my battle scars.

Looks to be fading really well.

I have a Lexus. The horizontal part (just above my BB) has been opened up 3 times. 1) gall bladder removal 2) transplant followed a few days later by 3) a laporectomy (sp?) because it was thought I might have spurng a leak. No hernias though.

Looks great! I must say I do like the first photo as well. It has a very Jack and Sally appeal 😊
