belly button

I told the PS I didn't really care, but I have a belly button with a red circle incision around it.  I think it looks rather bad.  I'm using silicone strips on it to help with the redness, but no one sees my belly anyway.

I had 4 open abdominal surgeries before my fleur de lis TT and the TT was by far the most painful and difficult recovery.

Thanks Penny.  I appreciate all your posts and sharing your journey.

Hi Kate,

I had surgery with Dr. Ben-Meir in Dec. 2010. I went from 210 down to 133. I'm thrilled, best thing I have ever done. I am due to have plastic surgery on Oct.7th, with Dr. Binder. I'm curious who you are having your plastic surgery with. I have an account with OH, but I can't remember my password, so I made a new account, so I could write to you. I'm having the extra skin removed in my belly area.I was told that I might not have a belly button after the surgery. At first I thought it was awful strange, but I'm ok if I don't have one. lol  I had 2 c sections, and a hysterectomy, and they cut me length wise and even above my bb. I also noticed you are right down the road from me. I live in Streetsboro. Good luck to you.

Jamie, would love to compare notes with you.  Having my surgery with Sylvia Rotemberg at the Cleveland Clinic.  Where is Dr. Binder?  I sent you a friend request.
