??? Hernia: You may have a incisional hernia in the umbilicus. See your surgeon for follow up

Post-operative pains: It is very normal to have pains at the incisions especially at the umbilicus after a laparoscopic appendectomy. As long as you have no other symptoms there should not be much of a concern.
