Hi CarmenS,
I think it's important that you visit with your physician about this pain since one of the most common causes of this type of pain, gall baldder disease, can be ruled out for you.

Your physician should be able to tell you if the pain is associated with your previous gall bladder surgery or something else entirely.
Best of luck!
