Has anyone lost their belly button or had numbness after Plastic surgery and henia repair?

I had a meeting yesterday with the Surgeon who did my WLS to see about having a large hernia repaired and a tummy tuck. I am scheduled to have my surgery on Monday. My questions is that during the consulation he stated that because the hernia was around my navel and with the tummy tuck that I would more that likely lose my navel. He also said that there is a chance that I will have numbness in my stomach from now on. Have any of you had either of these occur with your surgery and if so can you give me some ideal of how it feels. He said that he could give me a dimple where my navel was.
