Moderate pain in the belly button area

I was sleeved on December 17, 2016 and had bad pain in my belly button area about 2 months ago. The pain continued for 3 days and on the 4th day a little pus started oozing out. I checked with the surgeon who performed the VSG and he asked me to get an abdominal scan. When I got the scan done, I was informed that there is a small secretion (later found out that the stitch in the belly button had not dissolved and was weeping, thus the pus) under my belly button and I was informed about gallstones as well. I finally underwent a gall bladder removal surgery June 22, 2017 and it is now over 40 days since my 2nd surgery in 7 months.

Since a week I am having slight pain in my belly button area. I don't have any pus or anything oozing at this point, but I am scared to even talk to my doctor. Not sure what the pain will indicate this time. I am losing my mind and stressing about this thing since a week. I am unable to do abdominal crunches or twist and turn around in the bed. Is it normal to have pain the belly button area after a month of the gall bladder surgery?
