Pain where Largest incision is

I am 9 days out from gastic bypass. I went back to work Monday and I feel good except for the pain in my incision closest to my belly button.. It only hurts when I have gas trapped and when I get up from a low chair and bed wrong it feels like a sharp pain for a second.. Has anyone experienced this? I went to the Dr Tuesday and she said she had to cut something because it looked like the start of a hernia and that is what I am experiencing, Has anyone experienced this? It's like the pain when you get a stich in your side from running but only when I twist a certain way... I am not hungry but my senses have really heightened.. I smell food when its around.. I really am not hungry but it sure smells good...

Hi I'm not back to work yet 2 weeks from bypass. I seen my doctor yesterday and told him about the pain I feels above my belly button incision and it sharp pain that I have been having since Saturday once a day it last less then a minute. He told me that's around the area port was at and should go away. I'm not sure what that meant but I said ok.
