Please consult a GI surgeon. They will ask you to do an abdominal ultrasound and upper gi endoscopy. Then a proper diagnosis can be made.

There are some studies which show Gall bladder stones and H.pylori infection - bacteria in stomach can occur simultaneously.
If u are having acidity issues try to avoid spicy and fatty foods
Take Gastritis medication for 1 week to 10 days after consulting a doctor and checking what other medications u have.
If doesn't resolve i advice a OGD scopy - camera is passed into your stomach and will check for ulcer & infection
Ultrasound abdomen : new one may not reveal much unless if u devloped a postoperative infection .
Can u share the previous ultrasound before surgery also here.
Fatty liver if u have previous ultrasound and anything other than reason for gall bladder removal .
Try to get treatment for that.
Next Steps
