How Do I Know if my Muscle Repair Has Come Un Done?

Sidney101
I had a tummy tuck and unbilical hernia corrected 5 days ago and had an over night stay. I needed the toilet to pee and was helped up by a nurse. I felt a sharp pain. I hadnt seen the results as i was wrapped up. As the day went on i noticed i still had a bulge, i was told it was swelling but it looks and now feels like my belly is back. If a stitch comes out would i feel a lot of pain, or could it go un noticed. I feel like there is no difference to be honest except a scar. Im male and 25.
