Recent APR and freaked out by anal wound

Is your wound because you now have a,"barbie bum" or just from the operation.?

You will get different people popping up on here depending on which it is..mine is a "barbie bum"and you can read my history if you click on my name.

All the best

Hi Kath,

Not heard that term, but yes it is a “barbie bum”  that I now have. Although in it’s current state it’s not exactly that smooth, lol

I only had the surgery last Wed, so I know it’s early days. I wasn’t expecting it to stick out though… is that just swelling and does it end up just going flat and looking like a normal scar between your cheeks?

Many thanks

Helen

Hi Helen

I hope you’re improving. I must say you’re out and about really quickly. Well done. I couldn’t of got a mirror anywhere near my rear end. 
Kath every time you pop up with your barbie bum it cracks me up that’s not literally as I have not got a barbie bum.
I didn’t have a clue what it meant to begin with then when I worked it out …. You really make me smile. 
Have a good day. 

Thanks Artsie.I think someone else on here called it that and it has stuck with me as a perfect description.not as neat as hers unfortunately

Kath

Hi helen.It probably depends on the op.I had a complete.panproctocolectomy as I had a history of U C as well as the cancer.you are probably best asking your team about the outcome as everyone is going to vary .

Just a quick update in case anyone else on here in a similar situation and finds this thread… I had the follow up with the consultant last Friday and apparently it reduces to just a line eventually. It’s just really swollen at the moment. To be honest even since writing my first message it’s already much smaller and less freaky! Not quite barbie doll standards yet, but getting there, lol

Kath I’ve seen it in medical terminology. I can’t remember where I read it

it must been an American report somewhere  but yes it was definitely a 

BARBIE BUTT

So you’ve translated it. Still makes me smile I keep thinking of my daughters old Barbies.
