To ask about your cesarean [and other gynae op] scars

[Cronesquerness]

I had one of my ovaries removed years ago, the incision was made across my body above pubic hair, [bikini line?] After healing I have what can only be called an 'overhang'! I've lost, gained and lost weight and the overhang is always there. What are yours like? Is this usual or have we all been sewn back together like this?

No section here but abdominal hysterectomy at 35, and consequently an overhang ... worse as I have got heavier at 50! Nothing shifted it and I have learned to live with it.

I've had a section and have a definite overhang. I'm an OK weight but I know weight loss would reduce it somewhat but you can only really tell if I'm neked or in a bikini.

The only person who had had a section and you can't tell at all is SIL who is exceptionally slim. There's no lump at all, perfectly flat.

Maybe we should all sue the surgeons who have either made the incision too high, causing the overhang and the ones who stitched us up so dreadfully, for negligence? I was talking to someone whose father worked in a hospital and he said that as a rule surgeons don't criticise each other, so the surgeons who don't know how to operate on us without messing up our bodies don't ever get pulled up about it.
