A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal after two years to bleed in the belly button from gallbladder surgery?

Specializes in Surgery - Vascular

Not normal: This is not normal, and not expected. Someone with these symptoms should return to the surgeon who did the surgery if possible, or if not possible, a general surgeon familiar with gallbladder surgery.
