Hello,
Bulging after surgery is called incisional hernia due to weekend stomach wall. This may need examination and probably need re repair of hernia site.
Please consult your surgeon, he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
