Just curious, before the surgery, what did the vet tell you he saw from the x-ray?

On the x-ray before the first surgery, the vet showed me a shadow near the bottom of the stomach. He was mainly looking to see if the cat swallowed a string that was constricting the intestines.
He performed exploratory surgery and the intestines were good. That’s when he removed the mass of hair. The cat was vomiting everything (food, water) but couldn’t bring up the hairball.
Today, a different vet showed us a similar shadow on the xray (not identical, just similar). He’s certain it’s the same problem, but they want to keep him overnight before cutting.
