Is A Lump Near The Stomach Area Post Op Normal?
I am 8 mos post op.. FAH... I am noticing a bulge by my belly button. Could this be adhesions? Constipation is becoming an issue. When so makes this bulge larger. Should I be concerned? Everything else about my surgery was perfect. Recovery went smoothly and there were no complications.

it is common post-operatively just a small hernia; not to worry much but try to avoid strains during passing stool!
if it is enlarging or creating other problems like severe pain kindly go for USG and consult your surgeon!
all the best...........
