What I had was an umbilical hernia and I let it go a few years and it didn't hurt at all but it looked like hell with that golf ball by your belly button which I no longer have.My daughter,mother,and sister made me get it done because the doctor's said it can strangle the lower intestine but I had no idea that it would take six weeks for healing..I can understand the abdominal ones where you lift and it puts strain on those muscles but one by the naval? That doesn't even make sense..Anyway the surgeon took out about a pound of excess cartilage that worked its way out of the tiny rupture which was the hernia and being I let it go five years,it stretched the skin so that's why I lost the naval....I then had residual bleeding about nine days after the surgery which was the old blood seeping out of each corner as it healed and then I got an infection which wasn't horrific but I've been putting Bacitracin on it twice a day and now things are getting better..
