I have not had a TT by Dr. Wornock, but I do know of a friend of a friend LOL that did have a TT by him and it looks really good. She started about 250, down to 125-130 and has been doing really great. She did not complain of any long lasting pain. BUT she does not have her belly button. My best friend had her surgery done by Dr. Wornock, and she is doing great too. She did not have a TT by Dr. Wornock for the same reason you have a concern about. Military surgeon did her TT, she looks great! Sorry can't give you more specifics, but this is what I have gotten.

I am not familiar withthe doc in question, but after I consulted w/ my surgeon he said there is a 10% chance I will lose my Belly button, due to other surgeries in that area the blood supply maybe compromised. If he judges during surgery that it looks compromised he will remove it. I have corresponded with others whose belly button "died" after surgery and essentially fell off. Iwa staken aback at the thought of no BB, but after careful consideration I have come to acccept that I may lose it, and that It will be ok if I don't have this big double pannus. I decided if I lose it after all is healed I am going to get a small round tattoo in the area where my belly button should be, perhaps a sunflower. ( I believe always have a plan B) good luck in your decisions.
