A member asked:
After gallbladder removal how long is normal for the belly button area to be sensitive? sometimes clothes touching it causes sensitivity. no redness.

A few weeks: You may feel sensitivity there up to 8 weeks postoperatively. Permanent numbness is possible in any incision, though that rarely bothers the patient much.
