I have felt a bit off since yesterday ie weak, off food, feeling sick, diarrhoea

If there is pus coming out of the belly button,you have an infection of the laparoscopic incision.

This can also cause you to feel sick.

Please consult your do for- you will need to be prescribed more antibiotics.

Meanwhile, please take ibuprofen again to decrease the inflammation.

I hope this helps.
