General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query, read and understood your problems.
You are getting bouts of pain in the upper abdomen within the last 2 years particularly after the gall bladder surgery.
This is a great news that cardiac problems are ruled out by the tests every time in the emergency Room.

This means that we have to find a local cause in the abdomen itself.
I would suggest the following:
Get Ct scan and MRCP for the hepato-biliary- pancreatic system .
Also go for upper GI Endoscopy to rule out Gastric ulcer . cancer.
Colonoscopy for the possible problem of the colon in this area.
If required a diagnostic Laparascopy may help to see or rule out the intestinal adhesion due to bands or kinking or so and can be tackled at the same time.

This way a final diagnosis and treatment plan can be done to get you permanent results.
I find this answer helpful
