Why is my Belly Button Still Weeping 2 Weeks Post Anchor Cut Tummy Tuck?

Patrina Simcoe
Following losing 270lbs, I had an anchor cut tummy tuck 2 Weeks ago. Everything looks amazing, except my belly button. It isn't infected, but it is still seeping blood and serous fluid. I have had prior hernia repairs, so this is a new belly button. I am having home care nursing come and clean it every day. Should I be worried my new belly button is taking so long to heal?
