A member asked:

I have a bulge down the middle of my abdomen, it does not feel painful but i do feel bloated all the time. with my weight loss regimen over the past few months i lost weight everywhere but my stomach - bulge looks worse now. should i visit a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal bulge: This might be a hernia. If you have paid in this "bulge" or it bothers you, you can have it repaired. If you you are going to lose more weight, then I would wait until you come to your "final weight" before having this done.
