My surgeon said incision look great clear drainage is fine that I would have some drainage. Today I notice the drainage being a different color reddish yellowish brown. No odor.

Yellow brown discharge from belly button after ALIF surgery is suggestive of infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or moxikind-cv after an expert advice along with combiflam or meftal-plus for pain and inflammation. You can use neosporin powder for local application. Do regular dressing under strict aseptic precautions.
