I was wondering if my stomach (upper part) were you can't see my belly button is either excess fat or loose skin. I have lost a little over a 100 lbs in the last two years. I am 5'1 and currently weight about 150-152 lbs. I would like to loose another 30 lbs? 30 yrs old. Do you think that loosing the next thirty pounds will decrease the upper crease hanging over my belly button or should I consider a full tummy tuck in the future. I am not married and do not have kids.

Yes indeed you can eat avocado and green salad before surgery - excellent idea.As for the vitamin E, the evidence is strong that in high dose supplements it can be damaging in the long run and can cause mild bleeding. But the chief point is - if you eat a healthy diet, you don't need it.
I think a call to your surgeon is in order. Usually after drain removal the drainage stops in a couple of days. This doesn't mean that something bad is going on, but I think your own doc is the one who should be deciding whether or not you need to be seen.All the best.
