I am a 57 year old male. I had 3 ventral hernias that needed surgery. On 9/27/09, I had "outpatient" surgery to repair the hernias. The surgery was laparoscopic and would take 2 or 3 hours, 1 hour or 2 in recovery, then go home.

After surgery I was sent to recovery and the next thing I remember was, I woke up in Intensive Care with Pneumonia, and stayed in the hospital for 6 days!

I am home now and have 2 areas on my stomach about the size of a golf ball that protrud outwards. The areas of protrusion are hard to the touch.

The doctor who performed the surgery claims those areas will disappear in a short amount of time.

Should I be concerned?

Thanks
