A member asked:

I have a small hard lump on the wall of my bellybutton after a cholecystectomy. its hard and hurts when moving but no pain when sitting, what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If your laparoscopic cholecystectomy was recent, it may just be normal scarring. It may also be an incisional hernia. Regardless, make an appointment to see your surgeon. He/She can examine you and make some recommendations.
