Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

There are many causes for upper abdominal pain.
As you are waiting for surgery, it is essential to identify the cause for upper abdominal pain.

Causes are indigestion, peptic ulcer, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, cholecystitis.

Most probably it could be due to indigestion or gastric ulcer.
Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole and antacid syrups are helpful.
Antibiotics may be used if H.pylori is suspected.
But if it is associated with vomiting, belching, dark coloured stools need a investigations.

Usual investigations are Upper GI endoscopy, H.Pylori test, Occult blood in stools. etc..

Consult a Gastroenterologist.

Hope this Helps.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr.Manjeth.
