Saunas are fine on the provision that you shower after you are done and rinse the piercing out with running water. Hot tubs are a real problem, more often that not the owner of the hot tube hasn't checked and balanced the water in the tub. This imbalance can lead to bacterial growth and basically makes the hot tub a pathogen farm waiting for a open wound to enter. If you have a hot tub ensure you test and balance the water daily, not every week, every day. The temperature and boiling action from the jets will cause the chemicals in the water to off gas due to the agitation and heat. This can throw the water Ph and chemical balance out quite quickly.

How do you help a migrating belly button piercing?
Take the jewellery out of the piercing and call it a day. The piercing will continue to migrate and will eventually drop the piercing altogether. Removing the jewellery now will allow your body to maintain the tissue and prevent the formation of scar tissue. After a few weeks you could go and talk to your local professional body piercing about having the piercing redone deeper behind the migrating piercing.
You want your belly done but I have to have my appendix taken out in about 3 weeks can you get it done then take it out for a couple of hours?
No get your operation out of the way then get your navel piercing done. Taking a new piercing out for a few hours when it's not even 6 weeks old is not a smart or good idea. Just wait and get it done once you have healed from surgery.
