My scar is from a ruptured appendix that was misdiagnosed as an ovarian tumor, "not life threatening".Because of that I waited 2 weeks to have the surgery to remove the tumor. The surgeon planned to make a small horizontal incision to remove it, but that is not what I woke up with. When the doctor opened me up he found intestines covered with what looked like "super glue". I had several feet of small intestine removed and 10 inches of colon. The doc said he had a choice to cut out my belly button, or to save it. I am glad he chose to save it!
