Farewell Elephant Trunk

Tomorrow I am having my umbilical hernia repaired. My belly button has always been an "outie" but with each of my pregnancies, the hole in my muscles has gotten bigger and so my intestines are poking out more and more. This is dangerous if my bowel becomes stuck and so the muscle needs sewn back together. They will also place a piece of mesh over the top to hold it strong and keep it from happening again. It is an outpatient surgery so I will only be away from home for a few hours. I took some "before" pictures of my belly button (which, by the way, has the nick-name of "elephant trunk") and was going to be brave and post them, but as gross as my stomach looks in person, it is way grosser in a picture! I will spare you having to look at that (okay, let's be honest - I am sparing MYSELF embarrasement!) I hope all goes well tomorrow - no pain, and a beauiful "inie". What do you think the odds are of getting the surgeon to do a tummy tuck while he is at it?
