A large looking like hernia on right

by MsMcfarland, Mar 27, 2008 11:24AM

I had my gallbladder removed in November2007 and I have gain a lot of weight after and I have this huge bump on my stomach. The right side is a lot larger then my left side. Looks loike a huge hernia. Does not hurt . Could it be some kind of gas pocket or is this normal after surgery? Is gaining a lot of weight normal too?
