I have two of my biggest scars for twenty years now, and come to think of it, I don't recall anyone asking me about them. I have never been shy about showing my abdomen, until recently because of weight gain. I have always wore a bikini, and have gone vacationing several times to Florida, Hawaii, and even the Carribean.
My longest, running vertically from pubic bone and up the side of my belly button is eight inches long. It's not very pretty, as it's been access four times now. I have a two or so inch scar to the right from my ileostomy. That scar widened about during healing because I inadvertently caused it to open by becoming overly active too soon and it got infected. I also have a scar from the two cesarean sections I've had for my two children. That's probably my best looking scar, as far as scars go anyway.
As I aged, I have gained a bit of extra fat in my abdominal region. Because of all the scarring, the fat distribution is a bit awkward looking. So as I've gotten older, well in parrticularly this past summer, wearing a bikini has been something I've shied away from. Also have gained a bit in the hip/buttocks region as well. It seems, once I hit 30, losing weight hasn't been as easy as it used to be. My metabolism is running a bit slower than before, plus I've noticed a lot more fatigue than before. If I feel well enough to exercise, it does help, but I find my mind more willing than my body lately. I am in the middle of a flare that's been going on for months now, though.
The only scar I do remember being asked about is my tiny 'x' from my three central lines. That's up close to my color bone on right side of my chest. Go figure?
