wierd swelling and pain around bellybutton 5 weeks post-op TAH

I am 5 weeks post-op TAH and have some persistent and tender swelling right around my belly button area and a pouch above my horizontal incision on the left side.
Is this normal? I don't see my doc for over a week and I am wondering if I am just a slow healer or whether others are experiencing this persistent swelling post op.
I feel better overall and have more energy but still get very tired and have to lie down a couple of times a day with an ice pack on my belly.

Re: wierd swelling and pain around bellybutton 5 weeks post-op TAH

I had a LAVH on April 30th and just started having pain in/just below my bellybutton yesterday. It is a bit more red and painful today. My mom looked at it and said it looked irritated. I am thinking somehow it got infected. Not sure how as I have been a good girl. There were some exposed incisions that did not dissolve, but don't see them anymore. Wondering if they got caught on something and ripped out. Will call dr tomorrow morning. Anyone else with this?
