I have an innie, but my older brother has an outie that he has always had. I kinds like outies. They are cute on guys at least. My innie goes so far in I swear I could manipulate my intestines! ---

I was an outie until age seven when I had an operation for a hernia. Now I have an innie, but it’s mostly scar tissue. I remember well being made fun of in elementary school for my outie and being overjoyed when I heard that I wouldn’t have one anymore after the operation. ---

I don’t even have a belly-button. Got it cut off during surgery when I was a baby and had to have surgery. Why they never put it back, I have no idea. ---
