Is it a hernia?

Hello banders I am very new (banded aug 19th this year) and tonight when I was getting ready for a shower i realized I have a lump/bump near my belly button. I would say golf ball size.. Never had it before... I'm stressing out!! Could it be a hernia?!? Anyone have any with the band? Just scared cause I have been following everything to the T... Any advice would be good. Thanks!!

    Call your dr this morning and let us know what is going on.

    Call both of your doctors. Probably the PCP first. I had a hiatal hernia that got repaired when I had my surgery. That's internal, so I'm not sure about yours. Good luck and keep us all posted.
