They don't tell you before they open you up and stitch you back together that the scar tissue from the procedure may cause you significant amount of pain later in life. They should but they barely prepare you for the visual scar you will have after a surgery. I found that out when I was 9 years old. Yes, no one warned me - not once in all of the surgeries that I have had in my life, which are far too many, that deep inside where those cuts opening me up, would one day cause a deep twisting ache that comes out of nowhere, sometimes causing me to double over in pain. I have scars all over my body. My first one was from an exploratory surgery when I was that 9 year old girl, a mangled slice that goes across my lower abdomen from far right side to just past and under my navel. I say mangled because I ended up having severe sepsis in the hospital and vomiting ripped the stitches. I ended up having to have an NG tube forced down my nostril and spent days with a crash cart by my bed,
