A member asked:
Constant dull irritation and tightness in the visceral fat to the right of my navel, made worse by massage, with nsaids unhelpful. had inguinal hernia lapro. repair 1/2020, and dr. said everything is fine. the groin is ok, so why does my belly hurt?

You cannot see or feel visceral fat. If the pain is at site of where an instrument was passed during the surgery have the surgeon check you again. There has to be a reason for your pain. If he says everything is fine and you still have pain see another surgeon
