I also had laparoscopic gallbladder removal but I haven’t experienced anything similar, I don’t even think it is associated with the surgery. As far as I know complications with laparoscopy are quite rare and include bleeding, infections, and duct and intestine injuries.
Have you seen a doctor about it?
Lumps are not to play with, especially not the growing ones. It may not be cancer but it could be lipoma. Lipoma is a benign tumor that appears in adults. A person may develop one or a couple of them. They grow slowly and are not linked to cancer.
There could be other reasons of abdominal lumps like cysts, hernia, intestine swelling, constipated bowels, etc
I would suggest you saw a doctor. Just by examining you, they may realize what it is-if not, you may undergo certain screening tests.
