Hi, Last night, i had to remove my abdominal support. I wasn't able to breathe and the pain was too high. The only think i could do is take my pain med and go...

Hi again, So if i understand, my navel is correct. It will heal with time. I am glad it's not black. The color is like yellow and it's leaking a bit. Not much....
