Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hernia surgery is nothing to do with this current condition. Your umbilicus may be infected. It needs cleaning and application of ointments. You need to eat lot of fiber containing food, such as fruits and greens. Please avoid refined packed food. Bowel movement will be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
