What Causes Uneven Protrusion Near The Navel Area?
Question: My fibroid was fine thank you for your help. Is it possible a year after my gallbladder surgery to have uneven belly around my belly button? It is ugly!
Brief Answer:
You need to do an ultrasound scan.
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again and thanks for trusting to us.
I'm very glad to hear that pelvic mass was only a fibroid .
For the second issue need more details;
Did you have belly button pain?
Did you have temperature ?
Simple uneven belly button without any mentioned symptoms , after gallbladder surgery show us that may be only hernia( A general term referring to a protrusion of a tissue through the wall of the cavity in which it is normally contained.)
Hence to confirm /exclude hernia of belly button area you need to do an ultrasound examination.
All the best

It's not the belly button it's the skin surrounding it thN hangs differently on the right side. No fever no pain around the belly button
Brief Answer:
Having no symptoms increase chances to be herina
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again and is my pleasure to give you any advice.
While you haven't any mentioned symptoms ,but only uneven belly on the surgery area ,chances to be a hernia are increased.
The incidence of incisional hernia occurring at the port sites after laparoscopic surgery, lies between 0.02 to 3.6%.
But to confirm 100% that is hernia ,you should do an ultrasound scan.
You should contact with a doctor until hernia is uncomplicated.
best regards

ok no hernia just uneven distribution of belly fat the doctor said. This can happen? Also, how come my body temperature is always between 97 and 97.8? Is that ok? I worry so much
Brief Answer:
It's OK
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again and thanks for your query.
While you haven't hernia but is only a belly fat ,there is nothing to worry about.
This can happen because you may gained weight after gallbladder removal.
Your body temperature is very normal ,it is within normal range .
I see that you are very stressed but please follow -up these steps to overcome it;
1. One thing at a time.
Focus as much as possible on doing one thing at a time.
2. Simplify your schedule.
Schedule only a few important things each day, and put space between them.
3. Get moving.
Do something each day to be active — walk, hike, play a sport, go for a run, hit the gym.
4. Develop one healthy habit this month.
Other than getting active, improving your health overall will help with the stress. Eat fruits and veggies for snacks. Cook something healthy for dinner. Drink water instead of soda. One habit at a time.
