What causes hernia, any suggestions for it?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE MY GALL BLADDER REMOVED. IT WAS FULL OF STONES. AFTER IT WAS REMOVED, THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND TOLD HIM, AND HE SAID I WAS HAVING PHANTOM GHOST PAINS. LOL. AFTER GOING TO THE LOCAL ER MANY TIMES THEY FINALLY TOOK ME BY AMBULANCE TO MARYLAND UNIVERSITY, BECAUSE I WAS JAUNDICE, MY LIVER WAS INFLAMED, I HAD PANCREATITIS, DEHYDRATED...ETC..... THEY HAD TO GO IN AND REMOVE 9 STONES THAT WERE BLOCKING MY BILIARY DUCTS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I ONCE DID, BUT THE BOTTOM OF MY ETES ARE STILL YELLOW, AND I FELL LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING BULGING INSIDE OF ME ON MY RIGHT SIDE WHERE MY GALL BLADDER WAS REMOVED. COULD IT BE A HERNIA?
