Painful area near bellybutton after laparoscopic surgery

Hello 🙂

I had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically nearly 4 months ago. Initial recovery was fine, but I am still experiencing a very sore/burning pain to the left of my bellybutton when I bend over or twist/stretch. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this, and if so how long it took to go?

I was sterilised 25 years ago and still get a twinge near my belly button! If the wound is healed up then I wouldn’t worry too much.

Hi, I know you posted this a few years ago. But how did you get in with the pain. Had my gallbladder out nearly 2 weeks ago. Healing well, but getting the same sort of burning/pulling sensation to the left of my belly button
