What to do about internal scar tissue 'pulling'?

I had an open RNY on 7/2/02 - just 4 weeks ago. My inner tissues were sewn with the stitches that either dissolve or work their way out. The outside skin was closed using the surgical glue so I don't have that 'zipper' effect. Everyday activities are fine but sometimes when I stretch backwards or lie flat on my belly and then get up on my elbows... I feel like my INTERNAL incision is 'pulling'. There is a little discomfort but not alot. I'm wondering though, am I "ripping sutures" or is scar tissue just breaking up? And if it's tissue breaking up - is it good or bad?
