Hi there-
It sounds like you probably strained your suture line, or less likely, that you tore it a bit. If the contour of your abdomen still looks as good as it did before, I think it's unlikely you tore through the suture line, especially as the repair usually does not rely on only one suture...
In any case, I don't think there is anything to be done right now- I would follow your surgeon's advice carefully and keep all of your appointments for follow up. After a suitable healing period, if there is a problem that needs to be dealt with, your surgeon will be in the best position to do so for you safely and comfortably, with their greater understanding of the initial procedure you had.
Hopefully it's just a bit of a strain at your suture line and you'll progress to a beautiful outcome.
