True no surgeon in the US

In what country would a surgeon perform that operation?

Ether, good to have another MD on board...I assume Doc is also. Are you a surgeon as I guessed. My best friend is a general surgeon and I have gone into a few cases with him. I agree, ischemic bowel resections are nasty. I assume you are either a color-rectal surgeon or general surgeon. Then again, you may be in residency and are going to go completely away from the peritoneal cavity. Consider vascular surgery so you can help me with AVF's for dialysis patients

. Hell, could you imagine the fistula you could put in the joker on the other thread where "Weedwhacker or whatever" is arguing those monstrosities are arteries...hahahahahah. Later.

If someone could guarantee me GH/roid gut, I would juice myself up. This way people would definitely know I was on and could say, "God he's cool." Otherwise, what's the point.

Yeah, I can't actually believe there are other MD's on here, bodybuilding isn't exactly kosher discussion material among doctors.

I am a general surgeon, but, i don't think very many of my patients would believe I spent time reading on here. One of my buddies (an orthopod, big surprise) told me about this site....I have to admit it is frickin hillarious most of the time.

The funniest thing is that in my OR we usually talk about working out and steroids all the time, and whenever anyone gets mad we always chalk it up to Roid rage. Its' pretty funny, especially when the patients are not under general anesthesia.

Dude, you would be able to make one hell of an AVF with that "artery"

More likely the belly button gets enlarged by a hernier then has to be fixed as a result (this is quite commom) as for removing "a few feet of intestine!" it cud be done pretty easily crones disease patients have it done all the time.

You get a few feet of large intestine removed and your fucked for life. You probably will end up using a colostomy bag. I doubt anyone is doing it except the people who have crohn's disease.

I dont often post here but had to add my experience.

In January 2004 I had an operation to remove 12 inches of intestine. This was as a complication of having my appendix removed the year before. My appendix was removed leaving adhesions and basically my bowel got stuck on itself (adhesions inside the body are sticky). The Bowel got stuck and wrapped round and round basically strangling itself of oxygen.

It was without doubt THE most painful experience I have ever been through and I almost didnt survive. The surgeon said when he opened me up the intestine was black, and when he came to visit me after the operation said "it was touch and go".

Last year I was in hospital again for a week when the same thing happened - more abdominal surgery means more scar tissue and more chance of adhesion. Luckily I didnt need another op that time.

Trust me... This is NOT something you want to go through for vanity!

I must say, that dude has pretty symmetry. However, I am at a loss for why no belly button, as I don't see an obvious surgical scar. Maybe something that happened at birth, and as a result he has a minimal scar, but no umbilicus. Let us defer to ether as he is surgeon. He may have a better idea. Regardless, it looks kinda cool if you had a sick six pack and loads of muscle. If you are obese,it might look funky.

On second thought, there might be some scar tissue where the umbilicus used to be. Not sure. Need a larger pic.

onlyme · « **Reply #39 on:** March 13, 2006, 03:29:10 PM »

I figured it out. He was not born. He has no mommy so he has no cord and no belly button. A typical test tube baby.

Haidar gets robbed at every show.....his physique is almost perfect (you could argue his arms are too small)

Dude, I haven't a clue why he has no belly button....he must have had an umbilical repair where they closed it perfectly (maybe a plastic surgeon did the closure).

I doubt it was a general surgeon with staples closing him up, but that kinda makes sense, because if I was a BB there is NO way i'd have a general surgeon close me up.

nicorulez · « **Reply #41 on:** March 13, 2006, 03:33:56 PM »

I think you nailed it Ether. Damn, if I get surgery I want that plastic surgeon.

was onlyme right? Test tube babies have no belly buton? Way cool.

240, I don't think that is correct. Most likely, they still have to develop in the mother's womb. They can't be grown in a Petri dish. I think they get the sperm and egg to unite in vitro and then implant it into the mother's uterus to eventually (hopefully) embed into the uterine lining. I am not an Ob, but I believe this is the way it happens. Peace.

It is probably from an umbilical hernia repair. You see a lot of pros in offseason shape have umbilical hernias. From increased weight, increased intraabdominal pressure and probably also from the high tension straining of lifting heavy weight. You might not see the scar on some bodybuilders because of protan/spraytan they use for the shows (i.e. how you don't see their stretch marks). And for anyone to have elective small bowel resection, that would just be insane. You do not see that in the US without a medical reason.

I would consider a skilled and proffesinol plastic suergon to do some Synthol injections on some lagging bodyparts deep under the muscle not to the extreme 1/2 inch to 1 inch.

Gregg Valentino is the garraeth of arms, you know.

NO it would have to be done by an expert with no sign of synthol not bloody obvious most pros do it.

I just read the IFBB rule book and in Section 5 paragraph 3 line 8 it expressly states that "in order to win a big show you have to have a belly button". Man that's fucked up. Who reads the small print nowadays
