I have lost a lot of weight, but i can only see smalls changes in my belly area... i have always had a belly even when i was slim, what to do?

Exercise ; Accept it: Exercises like sit-ups can strengthen the muscles which might flatten the belly a bit. But, i learned that the length of the human small intestine can vary drastically from person to person. If yours is longer, it will create a belly bump no matter how thin you are. It's good news as more nutrients are able to be extracted for your health. So, relax ; accept it.

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
