Stomach Bulge And Pressure. History Of Gastric Bypass
When I sit or bend to much I get what looks like a bulge on my lower left side of my stomach and I can feel a lot of pressure. I'll stand up and rub it a little and it seems to clam down and go away. today it just happened again but seemed to be a little lower. I've been to the gasto Dr., but hasn't found anything. I had gastic bypass in 2002.

Hello,
Any bulge in the inguinal region(Lower abdominal region) with the increase in the intraabdominal pressure like bending forward may be hernia.
The reducibility of the swelling is also in favour of hernia.
But your doctor has rule out it by physical examination.
So you may need
1. Ultrasound of the abdomen
2. CT scan of the abdomen
To arrive at a diagnosis.
