What Causes Belching And Nausea After A Gall Bladder Removal?

I am a 63 yr old woman & had my gallbladder removed about 34 yrs ago due to gallstones. In the past couple of years I have been having trouble intestinally, constant belching, neausea,cannot lose weight. Just wanting to no if there are side effects of having gallblader removed in later years or if something else is going on. No acid reflux, but take omeraprazole every day to try & keep sysmptons @ bay, but sometimes even that doesn t work. Do you have any idea of what might be going on?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 63 year old woman have had cholecystectomy 34 years back, have now trouble of belching, nausea, can not loose weight, no acid reflux yet takes Omeprazole daily to keep the symptoms at bay. Wants to know whether this may be after effects of gall bladder removal after so many years or something else.
This looks to be something else and most probably due to gastritis and lax lower esophageal sphincter.
For knowing the diagnosis well the following things are needed to be done.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Ultrasonography.
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Upper GI endoscopy.
These will help to get a proper diagnosis and proper management.
