    [USER=”2580″]DrBrown[/USER] [USER=”2029″]Good intentions[/USER] I saw my Dr yesterday and she didn’t suspect a hernia. She said she was able to grab it and it was not inside my abdominal wall (that was my main worry), so she thinks it’s most likely a lipoma. She advised she can send me for an ultrasound to confirm, if that’s what i’d like to do

    Thank you [USER=”2580″]DrBrown[/USER] . I appreciate the feedback and will have my Dr check it out next Wednesday. It is causing some discomfort, but I should be fine until then.

    This is the most similar picture i could find online regarding the location. However mine is maybe a 1/4th of the size and not nearly as noticeable. When i put my finger on either side of my bellybutton, the right side might stick out 1/2 inch further.

    Yes, i had discomfort that wasn’t relieved by removing gallbladder and it is not at the site of the incision. I’m pretty sure the swelling area has been there for about 4-5 months and I haven’t really noticed an increase in size.

    Does it matter that the area isn’t in my belly button and it about an inch or so to the right of it?
