Belly button poll
i fought to keep my belly button, but not for vanity reasons. I had been super fat all my life and the TT was going to help me get closer to a 'normal' size. I felt like if I lost my BB, I would yet again be abnormal. It was all psychological/emotional for me. It was such a priority for me that when talking revisions with my surgeon he assured me that he could save it again.
my belly button is now at my knees.....so yes, i sure would if i had the money!

( SUFFERED FOR SIX MONTHS,I SHOULD OF DIED )
I still have mine... it's just 2 inches lower than it used to be and a bit "hooded". I would not have paid extra (well, not more than $200, anyway) to have a new one reconstructed. I have seen the tummy of several friends who don't have one anymore and it really doesn't look all that strange.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
At 66 years old I said, "Take it away". I'd heard it was the slowest place to heal and also a place where infections were common so I didn't want them cutting any extra stuff!!. I'm not at all sorry because I love saying I don't have one!! I won't be showing my belly off to anyone - still way too self-conscious - but the BB being absent is fun for me!!
