Having no belly button has been a source of anguish and torment for a Leeds man, whose struggles have led him to a life on the streets.
Oliver James Sutherland, 35, has opened up on his troubles from a very early age, of being bullied and picked on for his condition. In the place where his belly button should be, there’s a flap of skin folded over.
Oliver, who is originally from Great Heck in North Yorkshire and then moved to Pudsey, was born with a gastro umbilical hernia which meant he had to have surgery for a bulge in his stomach. His intestine was bulging through his abdominal.
