I am fit, 5'2" 122lbs. Had a TT 1 week ago and for the last 3 days my output went from 25 to 15 and then 10 cc of drain fluid daily. I am concerned that the color of the fluid has gone from light red to wine color. There is no bad odor, my pain is at about 2 on a scale of 10, I've been off pain meds for the past 4 days. Should I be concerned? I thought the fluid was supposed to get lighter in color.

Without photos - it's impossible to give the best answer. A lump above the belly button which you can push in- may be a hernia. I suggest you consult with Operating Surgeon re/it
Thank you for your question.
It is difficult to say what is going on without examining you so I would suggest you calling your surgeon's office and going in so that they can make sure that your garment is not too tight and that all is well.
Best wishes.
The vertical scar is the hole from the previous belly button position. If it remains as a vertical scar, then there was not enough laxity to remove all of the lower abdominal skin.
