Time to see surgeon: Your description fits best the description for an eventration, a form of hernia, somewhat common after abdominal surgery. While this is a possibility, a variety of other diagnoses may account for your symptoms, that' s why seeing your surgeon, the one who performed the procedure, would be what I would recommend. A simple exam might suffice, but tests might be needed based on clinical impression.
