Side Abdomen Discomfort

I noticed about 4 or 5 days ago that when I got up to walk I felt a tightness/pulling in my abdomen. It's immediately to the left of my belly button so it's below my incisions. Does anyone else have this? It's not really pain, just discomfort. I don't feel it when I'm sitting or lying down, just when I walk. It's the strangest feeling......

Anyone else have this????

I have been having cramps in that area. They aren't painful, but I don't know what it is. They come and go.

I had the same discomfort, this lasted (on and off) for the first 3 months. It went away. Honestly, I'd forgotten about it until I read your post.
