5 weeks post TT and I still bleed/drain a lot?

I am 5 weeks out from a panniculectomy (tummy tuck). The JP drains where taken out 2 weeks ago, but I still drain a lot from 4 holes in my abdomen (all blood). Is this normal? I also am still swollen in the upper abdomen. No redness or tenderness, but the drainage is getting on my nerves. I have to change the bandages 4-5 times a day or it will ruin my clothes. Help?
