Possible hernia or appendicitis?

For three days I've been having an odd pain in my lower right abdomen. First thought it was just gas, then it didn't go away with using Gas-X. The pain is at about 7 p.m. below my port. My port is about 3 inches down and an inch to the right of my sternum.

Anyone have similar experience?

My guess would be gallbladder but you should go get it checked out. It is common to have to have the gallbladder removed due to rapid weight loss.

I was just wondering if you found out what the problem was? I had surgery on Dec 29, 2008 and was fine for 5 days then got hit with terrible pain in about the same place. As I had no appendit or gallbladder (removed 24 yrs ago) I was rehospitalized for 4 days and released but still have the pain. I can stand and walk straight as long as I place my hand under that area and lift up , if I don't I have to walk hunched over...Maybe someone out there has some ideas??? Sue Boule
