Could this be a hernia or...

just the sutures healing. I had Lap RNY several weeks ago and as the incisions started to heal the one where they put the camera in hurt more than the rest. O.K. I expect this. But now I would think it would be getting better. When I went to the doc on my week follow up he felt the lump under the incision were the sutures healing, but now over a week later this knot seems to have gotten bigger and the pain is still there. Its kind of like a burning pain when I turn, bend over or turn over in bed. The pain is not excruciating but I don't want to ignore something either.
