Hi..when I had my first Lap nothing was explained to me so when I got out of surgery I had what I though were abnormal pains. My stomach was expanded so far out I coudldnt move at all without exruciatting pain. This took a couple of weeks to go away. I also noticed Pus coming from my belly button about 5 days afterword. I went to the E.R. and they said it was normal. It was tender to the touch and was hard to wash. Under my belly button was very hard also. I was told this was completly normal as well. When I went back for my Post op he said this was normal because I was such a little girl that the skin had to be stretched and the stiches were more likley to break. I never had pain in my butt. I do not see why you would so I would suggest calling your Gynos nurse, or even the E.R to get an opinion from a nurse there. Jessica
