Fistula: Sounds like you may still have a hole in the intestine that is connected to the skin, also called an enterocutaneous fistula. They usually heal on their own, but sometimes require operation. See your surgeon for a follow up to find out.

Possible small hernia on lower right of abdomen. No pain, or signs of strangulation, if anything, opposite, more gas and loose bowel movements. Insurance won't cover surgery. Can I leave this be for now and not worry?
