See the doctor, : To be sure. You did not mentioned whether your surgery was laparoscopic (" key holes") or an open one, with a wider excision. In any case, the sensations you are describing might be related to surgery and sutures and you will be better off having it checked.

My Laparoscopic surgery report (for a gallbladder removal due to a gallstone) has shown "non-eventful recovery and liver is normal". Just a little curious, can a surgeon actually get to see the liver when removing the gallbladder using laparoscopy?
