I have had that scar numerous times. I feel the pain in your poem. I gave up up the belly button and realised I have been divinely created. Thank you Dawn ❤️
I had two resections. The first one no belly button. The second they gave me a belly button to the left of my scar. I was mortified. When I had the hernia operation from the second surgery. I said forget it. If you can figure out how to put in the middle I don’t want one. I am super proud of my scar and still wear a bikini. When people stare I say oh I am divinely created. Adam and Eve didn’t have one either 😂 😉
The patron saint of 42 is you. So brilliantly cutting, this piece.
It was good enough for Doug Adams.
Wow! You are an outstanding poet! Brave!
Aw shucks, thank you!
Your words blow my mind ALL the time. 🫶
In a good way, I hope.
Ha ! Of course!
I see you Dawn
I have that same ab scar
Been opened there 3 times
48 times !?!
Oh my
Keep on keeping on sweetheart
You are needed here by many
I hope the surgeries stop
I’m sorry
Sending peace ❤️
Mine is straighter and further down
Told them they should have put in a zipper
Take care of yourself
( I was a respiratory therapist for a while - I’ve seen those chest scars )
I think you have me beat
Full disclosure - that's not me in the picture. It's a stock photo. The actual photos of my scars are a bit much to post here.

I've managed to keep the belly button, but now it has a frame.

No resections so far, but multiple open-heart surgeries.
Oh you poor thing. I’m sorry you have had to go through that Dawn. ♥️
What doesn't kill me just gives me a dark sense of humor and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Ohhh girl! The dark sense of humour— I get LOL! Is it really an unhealthy coping mechanism? Hmmmmm
I can only artlessly say ... wow
This is one that's better when read live. Either it leaves people stunned or horrified. Not sure which.
I agree. And perhaps both.
