X-rays: What were you wearing when you had the X-ray done? When you describe two BRIGHT WHITE circular objects just below the navel the first thing I think of is snaps or buttons from your pants - something outside the body that was against your skin that wouldn't allow the X-ray beams to penetrate (causing the bright white appearance).
