Extreme pain and bulge after throwing up - did I pop my tendinous inscription? 3 years post op (photos)

Whitney StarrJun 3, 2024
I am about 3yrs po from a full tt w/ MR. The other day I had to throw up, while I was heaving I experienced a sharp pain and noticed a bulge that wasnt there before. It was to the rt of navel about an inch. Afterwards I noticed that I now have a dip, a finger width wide and almost a finger width deep.maybe 4 fingertips longs. I notice this most when I flex my abs. Could I have popped my tendinous inscription?
