    Make sure you didn't

    Susan:

    Make sure you didn't get a hernia from the surgery.   It happened to me on the left side of my belly button.  I was so lopsided for several years until my next surgery.  By that time my hernia was so large that my gyn/onc had to call in the special surgeons for hernia repairs.   I had a hard time sitting up with that hernia as it felt very jiggily.   

    Hope you are well.  Thinking of you.
