It started out the size of a nickel and grew the size of a soft ball. Went to doctor and was told its a lipoma and surgery scheduled Jan 4. Got home saw its way bigger. Is it still lipoma if it covers your butt to?

A lipoma of the stomach is usually harmless and poses no health threats. The danger arises when the tumor compresses the internal organs or degenerates into malignant. Having a lipoma in your stomach should not interfere with you getting pregnant.
