After I had my laproscopy I was bleeding from my belly button for about
a year and a half at least. It had finally stopped but it took along
time and trust me right before the bleeding would start I would be in a
lot of pain. For a long time I was told I was imagining things but then
my new doctor told me that the lap. could have moved the imbelical cord
(which we all have remnants inside our body that is attached to the
belly-button) was moved around which probably allowed blood and
discharge from my body to escape. And eventually it went away (altho I
am not looking forward to my next lap. in May, b/c I am afraid I will
got thru the bleeding and what-not again)
