Your pain sounds similar to what I have. I started having stomach aches, they got worse over a couple of weeks until I was throwing up. It felt like someone was blowing up a balloon in my stomach area. I called my surgeon's office and was told it sounded like gallbladder, they wanted me to come in first thing the next monday morning, this was over a weekend. He immediately found an incisional hernia, my gallbladder was clear. It doesn't always hurt and when it does, laying down is the only thing that makes it go away. I have an appt with a PS this Friday and hopefully he will be able to repair it and do a TT at the same time. Sometimes hernias are not that serious and people have lived with them for years, some, like mine, ARE serious and can cause problems. Please have it checked ASAP :)
