Three weeks post op umbilical surgery. Should I be worried about the diarrhea? Pain?

RSMember18511
Three weeks ago I had my THIRD umbilical hernia repair surgery. This time performed robotically with mesh placed. I have had diahrrea every day about 6-7 times a day starting one week after surgery. Also, a pulling pain started last night where hernia was repaired and mesh placed. I could barely sit up last night without help due to the pain and the repair area skin was very hot. I don't have any redness or other symptoms of infection.
