Asked By:Mishell in Monrovia, CA

I got a TT 12/15 w/an umbilical hernia repair(due to twins) by a cert PS. I wanted a full but he claimed I was too thin. I am almost 5’ 8” And weigh around 120 lbs. Within 5 1/2 weeks my umbical hernia reappeared so he redid the surgery. The second time I lost my belly button and there’s a bugle around it with stitching scars. Within weeks of that I have another hernia about an inch or so above the belles button area. The bigger problem is I have very loose wrinkly skin above the belly button.
