Question:
Appendicitis??????
When my boyfriend was a child he had an appendicitis removed from him.......now he has this scar a couple of inches from his belly button, which looks like a belly button to me........I was just wondering if he had it removed does this make him different or what??????just wondering
Answers:
First of all, the organ itself is called the appendix. Appendicitis is a condition where it gets blocked and swells up. This is extremely painful and can be deadly as if it bursts, it can kill the person within an hour. Having it removed is called an "appendectomy". That's what the scar is from. Now, to answer your question- no, it doesn't make him any different at all. Just that he has a cool scar and doesn't have the risk of getting appendicitis anymore.
(But after having my appendectomy, I did notice that the left side of my stomach, the side it's taken out of, was slightly stronger and had a tiny bit less fat on it than the right side.) And I often say the scar is a stab wound. If anything your boyfriend is better off now.
