Yes, last year I had an AAA repair, with an open abdominal incision. now my abdomin appears to buldge out. I am very uncomfortable with it. I asked my doctor and he told me to lose weight and it would go away, that it was an ulscer. Yes I have gained some weight, yet not extreme, but it seems to feel like something more is going on. Can you offer any suggestions or insight on this. Thanks Steve
