Many possibilities: Surgery was about 9 months ago? Adhesions from laparoscopic gallbladder surgery are quite rare. Pain that long after surgery may not be related to the past surgery. Would need to return to your family doctor for evaluation, blood tests, maybe ultrasound or ct scan. Depends on where the pain is, when does it happen, etc? Gastiris, stomach ulcers, rarely bile duct stones, hernia at surgical site....
