I have about a two inch mark directly under my navel and other smaller spots scattered on my abdomen. But my navel looks basically the same as before.

Goal! I did it!
105 pounds gone since my RNY
119 total pounds gone forever!
I finally have a "normal" BMI
Reached my first goal of 145...and setting a new one of 135.
Reached 135 and have decided to lose another five if I can.

I'm in the 130's for the first time since puberty!

For some reason this thread is making me grin. I keep thinking of all my TTFriends pulling up their shirts and gazing at their navels. I've had several laproscopic surgeries over the last couple of years and now have one tiny, tiny scar just inside the bottom lip of my belly button and one (from my RNY) small scar just inside the top lip of my belly button.

It all depends on the surgeon's technique, who taught him and the size of the target

I have 4 cuts over my upper abdo- none more than 1 inch in size- no belly button cuts this time. With my gall bladder I had 5 cuts- one in my belly button.
