I had laproscopic hernia surgery in 2005. since then, my belly button has been very tender, painful and has gone black twice. also, i have had stitching protrude to where i have had to cut it back so it won't snag my shirt?

I assume you had repair of an umbilical hernia. I think you should consult the operating surgeon or another abdominal surgeon for evaluation&advice. Nonabsorbable sutures and wire mesh are in place but these symptoms raise suspicion that something is amiss within the operative site.
