Oops. Think I have a small hernia

[Mid West 99]

I'm 16 days post surgery and for the last couple of days have been feeling some discomfort on the lower left side of my tummy. I felt it today and can feel a small lump. I looked it up and it seems textbook hernia. Anyone else had one post op?

I had the same kind of bump(left side below belly button and very tender), my Dr checked it and said to watch it for another week or so to make sure it didn't get any bigger. It was gone about 1 week later. I would still let your Dr. know that you have this bump, maybe they will want to see you.
