Phyllis, I know you recently had surgery, and hernias are definitely common after surgery. Both my parents have had hernias the past two years. My mother's was a result of a previous surgery when she had an ovary removed.

I would definitely get it checked out ASAP, but probably not ER worthy.

And definitely get a good surgeon. My mom's surgery to correct her hernia wasn't so great, and she thought she'd have to go back under. She's been cleared as okay within the past few weeks, but she still has pain (likely from the continued healing, even though this was done months ago). Her scar is kinda nasty, I do wish the surgeon would've done a better job b/c I know it really bothers her (appearance-wise). But then again, she had me by c-section and then the surgery to remove an ovary and THEN surgery to correct the hernia, so there was a lot of scar issue in that general area.

Hope everything works out for you!
