Laparoscopy abdominal surgery
Almost two months ago I did my laparoscopy for my gall bladder removal but I went to my surgeon today cause I was facing very very small pain near my incision so what my surgeon does is put very heavy pressure on my stomach for which my stomach start a small pain at that time but after few hours I am feeling very ok with No pain
Is applying pressure on the stomach is good?

That was done in view of examination purpose..you may have small collection or mild discomfort over the internal stitches that eventually get absorbed.So nothing to worry.If that pain bothers you take a mild painkiller.

After a surgery the Surgeon would like to check for any local infection or collection of fluid by pressing and feeling for a fluid bulge/ expression of fluid through the incision. He must have been trying to look out for it.

Possibly he was checking any collection at wound site,
Otherwise he will be the first one to try to help you.. pressure applied may not be intentional to bother you
