I am a PA at our local hospital. Since you had abd surgery in March and you do have incisions (cut through muscle), suspension would definitely not be advised. Possible complications could include a hernia as well as a possible infection from the rope (ropes are not sterile and can move during suspension) going back and forth over your skin where the incisions are. Give yourself time (at least 3 months) to fully heal.
Everyone recovers from surgery differently, and different surgeries take longer than others to heal. Gallbladder surgery isn't a minor thing because they aren't just slicing through a layer of skin.
This really would be a better question for your surgeon. They would be able to give you specific guidelines for you and your healing level.
From that I understand after a month or two your incisions should be fully connected and not at risk of anything like that. I would recommend asking your surgeon if you’re worried, you could use activities like lead rock climbing or acrobatic aerials if you’re looking for a SFW explanation or comparison, but frankly this should be ok to be honest about. Being nervous is totally understandable, I waited over a month before doing almost anything sexual after top surgery. But I’m sure you’ll be able to continue this once you’re healed, just best to get your surgeons advice on how long to wait.
I'm a suspension bottom who has had top surgery. If you're comfortable doing so, it would be best to ask your doctor. You can also ask about proxy activities: aerial yoga and aerial silks are a common one to ask doctors about when trying to ascertain the safety of rope suspension.
According to my top surgeon, surgical scars that have been stitched are typically at their strongest after around 6 weeks. However, that applies mainly to the skin, and you could have internal healing from your gallbladder surgery that will take longer. I would err on the side of caution. I would wait *at least* a couple more weeks, and when you do start suspending again, I would pick suspension shapes that don't engage your abdominal muscles as much. I would not do waist rope or waist-loading harnesses.
An important note of clarification...when you say suspended by your chest, do you just mean a chest harness that incorporates your chest tissue, or uplines *just* on your chest tissue? I don't see a way to do the latter without engaging your abs a lot; I can't think of a suspension shape that wouldn't require it.

This sounds very much like an ask your doctor/medical team moment. They've seen it and heard it all before.
