Get evaluated: You don't need the ER, but do make an appointment with your regular doc. This sounds like biliary pain, and absent your gallbladder you may benefit from CT scan, TECH HIDA scan or EGD/ERCP to access for other biliary problems. There are several possible causes. Be well.

Does it feel like GB: Does it feel like your old gallbladder attacks? It is possible to have issues such as retained stones or even new primary gallstones formed in your bile ducts after gallbladder removal. Nausea? Bloating? Belching? Other causes are simple pulled muscle or rib issues. Internal causes include liver, pancreas, stomach, colon etc. See your doctor for history and physical.
