Thank you for the detailed information. I also had gallbladder surgery and I think it was related to that also. I always had a little I guess stitch or where the stitch was or suture you could feel even 5 years later on my belly button one day I couldn't feel it anymore and then felt the bulge.

I went to sesame place last summer with my husband and 5 yr old son. We were gonna ride the roller coaster the lift that come down over your head & buckles at your waist wouldn't close/ lock the attendant kept pushing I think she was embarrassed for me. There was a line of people watching so embarrassing. I had to get off the line. I'm going to Disney this year from my past experience that the only place that fits bigger people.

Hello everyone, Im new here but I'm really loving all the advice from just lurking lol. I was advised I have an umbilical hernia about a month ago. I decided if I will be forced to have surgery which I despise the idea. I will get the sleeve done also which I've always wanted. I have Cigna open access plus & looking for a doctor in my area. That's all I have so far in my newbie journey ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
