Turns out the odd pain in my lower abdomen (post gallbladder removal) is not an infection. Jenn and the surgeon assess I did too much too soon. Too much lifting, in particular. The surgeon does her lap surgeries directly into the naval, rather than just above or below it, therefore hiding the scar completely. That also causes a weird, annoying knot in your naval during healing. Plus, when you lift something heavy (too soon), you can cause additional scar tissue, and that is probably causing the pain.
The surgeon said the incision healed way too fast - faster than the sutures could dissolve. So the sutures and additional scar tissue are causing a pulling type pain that I can feel all the way to my kidneys. But I'm taking care not to lift over 20 pounds until end of next week, and it's less painful every day.
