What Causes Abdominal Pain After Stomach Polyp Removal?

I just had some non-cancerous stomach polyps removed on Friday. I have been in intense abdominal pain since. My doctor has recommended I take Lansoprazole twice a day (which I understand can cause stomach polyps) and mylanta for pain. He suggested I only drink liquids. He won't prescribe a pain med over the phone, what I am wondering is what could possibly be causing all this pain?
