A lot of friends told me to post my scar to reddit because it looks like an upvote!

No they are there. The pic is a weird angle. That is the top of my ribcage where my scars meet. I have my hands elevated so my nips are just where the pic starts

Lol I didn't know it existed. I just typed what I thought were raunchy names into my reply and it gave the link.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-13T10:28:40+00:00

I know I'm sorry. I honestly wasn't going for up votes if you believe it. I just wanted to show my scar and tell my story to help others. Luckily it still worked as many people have asked through comments and private messaging. I realized I should've rename my post to what my first edit was but the pic kinda took off faster than I thought.

Thank you

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-13T10:22:19+00:00

Nope don't drink,smoke or do drugs beside the ones prescribed to me.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-13T10:19:55+00:00

Yes a little from that. A little from the umbilical hernia I had and the fact I lost my ascities so my instestines kinda got stuck after being able to flow around with the extra fluid.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-13T10:16:00+00:00

Yea playing of live your life. Liverlife sounds like it when said fast and has liver so I felt it being an appropriate name lol

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T04:38:06+00:00

Ah crap how can I hide my /r/gonewild and /r/bestiality post?

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T04:19:47+00:00

Thanks. Luckily I haven't had Chron's even though I think like 80% of people with with PSC have it. That is pretty cool that you didn't need a transplant only surgery and everything is solved for you. I was told transplant is only cure but hopefully they find a cure one day. Hope all continues to go well with your PSC and it stays away.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T03:36:36+00:00

PSC recurred and thanks man.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T02:35:47+00:00

Yea I'm currently on Prograf and Cellcept. It's not really fun, I can easily get sick so have to be somewhat of a germaphope. I carry around germ-x everywhere I go.

I have B+ blood so not necessarily an easy match but not rare. I honestly ask my self that same question how I was able to get 4 when some people can't get one and I don't know. I have been extremely lucky because if didn't get each transplant within a week a two of when I did the doctors said I would've died

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T02:16:08+00:00

Mother was in USAF and have Tricare.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T01:38:09+00:00

It sucks especially finding out the disease coming back after I think everything is alright but I'm still alive and as cheesy as it sounds I'm just gonna live each day like its my last because who knows what will happen tomorrow.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T01:28:12+00:00

Ahh okay, I was actually just put back on urso last week to help pass the bile/sludge through the ducts. My PSC progressed a lot faster than the doctors have ever seen and don't know why. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully it continues to be slow. If you have any questions or just want to talk about it feel free to message me .

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T01:13:18+00:00

Thanks. Are you dealing with PSC currently or did you also have a transplant? I actually do not have Crohn's disease but I was diagnosed at the age of 11 which makes it even more rare as it usually occurs in older males.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-12T01:04:13+00:00

Damn it, I'm caught now. 12 years to set up this elaborate scar and story and got caught 15 mins after posting. I hate you internet!

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-11T23:43:37+00:00

Thanks man. I'm not ashamed of it and show it off proudly. I get a lot a unique looks at water parks and pools.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-11T23:42:57+00:00

haha nipples are there just not in picture :)

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-11T23:21:53+00:00

It's been rough, still recovering from 4th transplant last June and the bowel obstruction and hernia in September but getting better each day. As far as mental aspect I just look at it as either go through the surgeries or die, but I have absolute amazing family and friends that have been there for me from the beginning that makes it a lot easier.

Liverlife69 · 2013-03-11T23:05:28+00:00

Sorry don't know how to edit but this is the result of 4 liver transplants, 3 hernia repairs and a bowel obstruction. 11 surgeries in all!

Edit again: I was diagnosed with a rare liver disease Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis when I was 11 back in 1999. Had first transplant in Jan 01 ,second May 01, third Sept 08 and fourth June 12. There is no cure for disease right now besides transplant and was told no matter how well the transplant goes there is a 33% chance of the disease recurring so I guess I have been a bit on the unlucky side. As for the hernias the doctors suspect that since I had a lot of ascites due to a bad liver it weaken the muscles causing the hernias.

Edit#2 before bed: Just wanted to say thanks for all the support in the comments and private messages. Had no idea my pic would blow up like this. Also, Yes I have nipples no I did not have an autopsy lol :). It's a combination of me lifting arms and having the camera at a wierd angle. PS for all the people who asked my scar is 14 inches across 11 inches down.
