anybody else have this problem?

[minnycinny]

I had my gallbladder removed last Feb laparoscopically.  Absolutely no problems after. But recently I've been getting pains in my bellybutton, not sure what this is about. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?? Hope I'm not getting a hernia now ???
Thanks

I had my gall bladder out 4 years ago and shortly thereafter started feeling pain in my abdomen.  It has gotten worse in the last year, so my regular doctor referred me to a liver specialist.  After many tests and fear of liver cancer, they found a "dropped gall stone" in my liver causing all the problems.  This is something new resulting from laproscopic surgery.  A stone was dropped during my surgery, and the liver has been working to reject it.  You can Google "dropped Gall Stone".

Minny, just to double-check ask your doc to run a liver and pancreatic enzyme level blood test, and have a look at you're bellybutton Pain around the umbilicus can sometimes suggest herniation or pancreatic dysfunction.
