I know there are a lot of threads talking about fear of getting a hernia, but curious how often it actually happens. After 5 weeks I am slightly "lopsided" to the side of my main vertical incision above the belly button (the non-surgical side). I wouldn't call it a big bulge, it just looks different, like things were sewn together slightly asymmetrically or something. No pain, no noticeable changes with movement or bearing down. And, it's been that way since my swelling went down post-op, no changes for better or worse. Mostly just an aesthetic nuisance, but I don't want to risk something going back to work.
So, I'm not trying to get it diagnosed online per se, just wanted to see if anyone else has been similarly "off-balance" in the mirror. I know I can call my transplant center and get it checked out, but I thought I'd see what other people have experienced first. I think it's just my surgical naivety.
