Suggest Remedy For Umbilical Hernia Surgery

Detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Umbilical hernia surgery is really not a large one. It usually does not cause any problems at all. The procedure consists of putting few stitches on the small hole in the umbilicus area. In extremely rare cases mesh can be applied. But it is usually not necessary.
So this surgery does not affect your bowels. No special diet is necessary. The only thing you should avoid is lifting heavy objects. Apart from that, you should live your life as before the surgery.
So beer is fine and so is tailgating.
From your description the wound looks fine and the healing process is also fine. As long as there is no swelling, pain and fever, you should not be worried. Little redness is a normal thing.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Tenderness is very normal thing. It can be present a week or two after the surgery. A bit of blood in the incision area is also typical. No need to worry about it. It will go away naturally. You may also try to wash it away with water and soap.
If you want me to give more precise answer about the wound please attach a photo of it.
From your description it sounds fine.

Detailed Answer:
Yes I can see it. It looks good. The verges of the wound are quite protruded but this should become even after few weeks or so.
For sure no need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
The wound can be protruded depending of the surgical method of stiching. As we know that the wound shrinks after a surgery protrusion should disappear. Blood underneath the glue is very normal thing. No reason to concern.
