Do I need to see my doctor about this? I had my endo surgery 3ish weeks ago and everything is healing great. I just noticed earlier today that my belly button is oozing. It’s not red, warm, or inflamed. Is this a part of the normal healing process

Omg me too! Exactly the same. Im exactly 3 weeks post 2nd lap. Surgeon went into the same bellybutton hole as last time, so this time I have stitches whereas last time I’m pretty sure was only skin glue. Also last time didn’t ooze at all (recovery was generally a lot faster too). Tonight I noticed very minimal ‘wetness’ along where the stitch is. What was the verdict for you ladies when you contacted your surgeon’s office? Anything to worry about if it’s minimal? Unfortunately it’s the weekend here so I won’t get an answer until Monday, which means I might have to visit emergency to get a quicker response (and I’d rather not ☹️)

I'm having the same challenge and unsure if it's infected or if this is normal. Also at 2.5 weeks post-op. I'm going to write my doctor's office... Wish you luck too!
