Be patient : If it is early post surgery, that kind of pain can be due to some fluid or a small amount of blood in the surgical area. If so this will clear up. The tests you had should eliminate the more serious post operative problems, such as pulmonary embolism , bile leak or bike duct injury. As always, if the pain persists, go see your surgeon again.

See below: Post surgical pain or incisional pain in the abdominal wall may be present even weeks after surgery. Check with your doctor to discuss all diagnostic test performed.
