What Causes Soreness Above The Belly Button?
I am extremely sore to touch to the left side of belly button and above . Is there a test besides a MRI of the stomach that could show if there has been something left inside of my stomach during a surgery, or if there is a sore/ect there? Thank You

The soreness to the touch alone in a particular part of the abdomen after the surgery is suggestive of nerve entrapment.
IT is possible to have something left in the abdomen although this is very rare.
The best is a CT scan of the abdomen / the other option is to go for diagnostic laparoscopy .
