I've had 3 major surgeries, the last one being 9-29-06. They removed 2 organs and operated on 3 others. I am completely healed but still have a lot of pain in my stomach when I touch it. It's not like incision pain, its more of a swollen pain. Has anyone had this after surgery? What is it and will it go away?

The pain you describe sounds normal to me after having very serious surgery. It should resolve in a year, maybe a little longer.
The continued pain is part of the healing process. Be patient and it will go away, assuming the surgery was not cancer related. If the surgery was cancer related, then maybe you need a followup with your physician to see what he says. good luck

I had some after my gall bladder was removed but it did not last as long as yours. I was concerned too. It could be muscles from being cut as I think mine was but to be safe, if I was you, I would check with the doctor.
