Hello
Upper abdominal pain may be due to many causes like liver,gall bladder,pancreas,acidity etc.
As gall bladder is removed,it is important to exclude other causes.
You may need clinical correlation and few investigations.
You may need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver and renal function test,ECG.
Empirically you can take proton pump inhibitors like tablet pantoprazole.
You may need specific medicines after evaluation.
Get well soon.
Take Care
