Incisional hernia: You had a gallbladder removed 24 days ago. You have been sneezing and coughing. You developed pain in your belly button. You will need to see your doctor/surgeon. The belly button most likely is the place the gallbladder was removed if you had a laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The pain could be from a hernia. If you have pain that is constant, fevers, lack of bowel movement then see MD
