Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

Hi. My gallbladder was removed via scope. After surgery I woke up and knew something was not right. I was sent home the same day. Concerns ignored. 3 days later I'm admitted because apparently my lung was punctured during gallbladder removal. Fast forward 3 years I still have the hard bump below my naval. Is this normal? Also, recently I have noticed and can feel a similar bump above and slightly to the left of my naval. Would this typically be from the gallbladder surgery? Thanks.
PS I'm female, 53 (50 at time of surgery) overall healthy condition.

I think you might find previous posts helpful.

Debra, I'm so glad that you persisted after surgery to find out what was wrong and were able to get help for the punctured lung. Have you brought the hard bump below and to left of your naval to the attention of your surgeon? Might it be a hernia?
