I had that with my gallbladder surgery. I think it was the incision healing and the new tissue pulling the wound back together. But might be worth a call to your doc to double-check!

It will heal but you have to baby it for a while. Mine went away around 3 weeks.

Yeah - I had that as well. It was the only one with which I had issues. It took about two months and is very normal. It just means it is healing. However, I would be careful.

Took about 4 weeks for that to go away for me...

My surgeon said to expect that, he explained it exactly as a tugging feeling. It is where they remove the part of the stomach.
