Hey!

I had my laparoscopy 2 weeks ago and am healing well - no swelling, redness etc. However the past two days I’ve noticed I have light brown residue around my belly button. It doesn’t smell at all. My belly button incision all looks fine and there’s no pain etc.

Is this something anyone else has had? Do I need to see a doctor?

Thanks so much! Any help would be amazing!

Yea I’m wondering the same thing! I’m almost 2 weeks past surgery and all of a sudden this yellowish reddish fluid is licking out my the scar where my belly button is. Can someone give me on-site?

Hey! Thanks so much for coming back to me! I called my doctor and she thinks it’s the early sign of an infection so has put me on antibiotics which after 2 days seems to have stopped anything else coming out. Fingers crossed it’ll all heal now!

Sending you both lots of love xx

I just had my surgery November 23 and my bellybutton is the part that's taking the longest to heal. It developed a nasty looking bruise and had black and brown flakes coming out of it. My doctor said it was because that was the biggest incision and it would take the longest to heal. Definitely keep an eye on it and notify your doctor, but wanted you to know that I experienced that too.
