A year ago this past Nov. I had gallblader surgery, they said at the time I also had two hernias after the surgery and much pain the year prior due to gallblader I felt grand.....then after a couple months I noticed just above my navel a small lump about the size of an egg......it now had reached the size of a grapefruit, very uncomfortable after medium to small meal is eaten, could this be something other than the hernia?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. If the lump gives you uncomfortable feeling after food, this is more likely to be a hernia. Plus this is reducible, has impulse on coughing and can be confirmed easily on clinical examination and high resolution ultrasonography. If increasing, get operated before any complications occur.
