Pain next to belly button

I'll be 10 weeks out tomorrow. This morning when I got up, I noticed a pain on the left next to my belly button when I leaned up against the counter. It's a small area about the size of a silver dollar, but only hurts when you press on it. It's a soreness type pain. Seems to be getting worse as the day goes, takes less pressure on it, to feel the pain/soreness.

The only thing I can think of is something to do with me working out. But Thursday night was the last time I did that. So why would it start today? I lifted 5 lbs weights and did some small crunches, but nothing else I did should cause this pain. And really....3 days later to feel the pain. Not sure that is the cause.

It doesn't hurt sitting, walking or bending over. Only when you press on it.

Any idea?

I am 2 weeks out and have that same pain. I have been told it's where they cut into the abdominal muscle to put the stapler in/out and to remove the stomach portion. So, it was really stretched open during surgery. Some folks report pain 1-2 months out still. Maybe that's what it is.

Ibuprofen and a heating pad is what I would go for!:D
