I am 16 months post op. No real problems-mass weight loss-one happy little camper here. Tonight my hubby was complaining about gaining wait, pulled his shirt up and stuck out his little belly. (Mind you my hubby is 26, solid muscle, zero body fat) So I pulled my shirt up to stick out my belly and noticed a bulge! It is right at my incision. Then I said, "What the hecky pooh is that?" and I poked it-it went away. Very odd. Now it kind of hurts, my belly feels upset (naseaous) and I feel like I have a little indigestion. Could this be a hernia? I haven't seen a doctor in about a year...should I call? Thanks to anyone who has suggestions. Rebecca R 254 to 135! Forget 20W, now I wear 2L!!

I'm surprised you haven't seen your surgeon in a year, I see still mine every six months. Anyway, yes you should call him and see if he thinks you should come in. And yes, it could be a hernia. Good luck Toni

I saw him at 6 months and he said I was fine. Had blood work done at a year and it was sent over to his office and they said it was all good. I was fired from my job 2 months after my surgery because "I cost the company too much" so I haven't had insurance. Spending money on the doctor was out of the question-until I could get insurance again. So last week I called the office and told them what was going on, and I have an appointment on Friday. Thanks for responding! Becky
