Pain weeks after laparoscopy?

Had a laparoscopy for endo 6 weeks ago. Healed absolutely fine.

I've had strange pulling pains around my belly button for the past couple of days, and it hurts when I stretch / sit up. Has anyone else experienced this? It's not shouting out painful, but it is uncomfortable. It feels like when I was at the tail end of recovery.

I had a laparotomy, so a more major surgery, but I definitely had this. I mentioned it to my surgeon at the follow up appointment and she said it was likely scar tissue within the muscles.

I'm now nearly 5 months on from surgery and have no more pain. Give it time! It takes months for the muscles to heal properly.

I had a laparoscopy two weeks ago and have been feeling this since the op. If you didn’t have it initially I wonder if it’s been caused by trying to do too much too soon?
