Can I have a sonogram for my liver and gall bladder post op?

I saw my surgeon today and I am down 99 lbs since 1/10/02. I took a blood test about 1 1/2 weeks ago and he says that my liver function numbers are a little high. He wants me to get a sonogram for my liver and gall bladder. He asked me if I had any pain - the only pain I had was a burning feeling about 2 weeks ago (I attributed this to my ulcers acting up) but nothing since. For those who have had these sonograms post op where exactly do they press down on my stomach? Do they go anywhere near my incision and could they press too hard and do any damage (sorry if this sounds naive but I am totally clueless when it comes to this). Also what could the higher numbers mean? Thanks - Tracy
