Fluttering Feeling In The Upper Abdomen After Gall Bladder Removal. Worried

I have no gallbladder, taken out last year, I've heard you can have "phantom pains" and until last week didn't think much about that but once last week and again this morning felt a "fluttering" feeling on the upper right of my abdomen and got worried, suggestions? I know i am relying on my liver but wonder if its serious or what to do next....please any suggestions?

Hi,
Yougot your gall bladder removed last year, you heard of phantom pains, last week and this morning you had pain in rt upper part of abdomen.
As you are in a view of phantom pain you are thinking of it.
Other possibilities are gastric pain, due to irritation, indigestion, ulcer etc.
Dont worry you will be fine with PPI, and other medicines.
Thank you.
