my belly is weird looking...long

hi all , was not sure what to title this but I could not think of a more interesting way to put it.. anyway, in April my surgeon felt that I had lost enough and we wanted to fix my very large ventral hernia and do a TT at the same time, Things went pretty good, it was same day surgery and I felt pretty good that night but of course there was some problmes like constipation. I think part of the constipation was due my intestins not have the room they used to and everything was squeezed it the new smaller belly space. I got an infection (mrsa) about a month later and the doctor had to take out the mesh for the ventral hernia and replace it with something that dissolves. when he did this he took off some more skin from my lower belly. I now have a 32 inch waist but above that I still have the bulky shrunken skin. if I dont wear a roomy shirt the extra skin is obvious since it hangs over my jeans. My surgeon wants to do the top part and at the same time fix the really large hernia that is just below my sternum. surgeon plans on must alignng up the previous hernia/TT surgery with the upper one BUT he wants me to wait a while because I have had two really bad infections in the last 6 months and he wants me in the best of health. so now my lower belly is nice, flat and tight and my upper belly is like a roll of skin and mushy. I look pretty good with clothes on but nakie I look funny..OH and I forgot to mention the surgeon had to remove my belly button with the first hernia surgery. it was just too stretched out from the hernia. maybe I need to go buy a girdle! anyone else have a weird proportion??

Nope - and when he gets done, he will make you a new belly button! I got a new one! I am thinking of having it pierced just cuz.

my daughter told me if the doc does not make me a new belly button, i should get one tattooed on!! Donna

You just have to tell him prior to surgery that you WANT a belly button and then they will do it.................. I been looking at those really cute gold belly button jewelry..... can't believe I am even thinking of it at my age, but what the hell, right? some of them are just so sexy!

Hi Donna, Nope, I have no proportion problem. It all sags and hangs down the same. Ok, I haven't had any PS. Just wanted to send hugs and wish you good luck. Hugs Susan -170
