Great to you have you back, MB
Sounds very similiar to when I had my gallbladder out. Keyhole surgery but almost had to go the "full op".
I had very bad shoulder pain which I was told was due to the general anaesthetic. I had this for a few days until I passed wind one day & it was gone! Wee tip for you there!
Sounds like you're doing great - keep it up, but don't overdo it
