History Of Hysterectomy And Laparoscopy. Soreness Near Belly Button. Hernia?
I have had 2 previous laproscopies, a full hysterectomy and a mini tuck at the same time as my hysterectomy,
This morning I sneezed and felt something "give" near my belly button. Now it feels very sore, particularly when I move around. Could I have caused a hernia, I have had a feel around the area and can't feel any lumps other than the normal ones but it does feel uncomfortable when I press the area.

Thanks for using HCM.
It could be a tear in your suture site, better to consult doctor to get examined.
In post operative period you need to avoid heavy weight lifting, forceful coughing and sneezing.
when ever you cough or sneeze support your incision site with your hand to avoid pressure in that site.
Hope I have answered your query. have a good health.
