Hernia Surgery

Dr Johnson noticed a lump near my navel. I've had it for years, but never really thought anything of it. He thought it might be a hernia. Since I've had so many procedures this year, it was to my advantage to do this procedure before the end of the year. One thing that always comes to mind, especially when you're a cancer patient is, "Could this be cancer?" It's a normal reaction.

December 27, 2006, I was scheduled for outpatient surgery at Banner Baywood Medical Center. The procedure went well, and it was discovered that it wasn't a hernia at all. It was a abdominal wall lipoma, or in plain English, a "lump of fat".
