I accidentally lifted something really heavy and my abdomon is in a lot of pain. What are the signs of a hernia. I am freaking myself out. What should I do if I suspect I might?

You are pretty early out. Did you have your surgery lap? You may have pulled an internal stitch or something. I'm not sure what the signs are for a hernia. I just figured out I have one because something popped out of my stomach near my incision but it doesn't hurt thankfully.
Have you called your surgeon?

You call your surgeon's office and get right in. There's no point in guessing what might be wrong. If you have increased pain, that's what the Dr. is for. Call him.

I called my surgeon. I'm sure it's fine but I'm going to see him tomorrow.
