i pulled off the fucking steri strips and I AM FREE.
I am also missing half my belly button.
Srsly.
The bottom rim is gone. kaput. Like it was never there. I have a slope up from my belly smooth enough to shield-surf on, minus the healing scar from the gallbladder yeeting.
(On the plus side, it looks like the surgeon went in through the bottom in order to save my navel piercing, b/c everyone had told me he was gonna go in through the top, which seems untouched. 22 years, two laparoscopic surgeries, and two pregnancies later, that bitch survives!)
but it's gonna to take some time to get used to the new topography.
