Persisting Belching, Bloating, With Severe Upper Abdominal Pain After Gallbladder Removed A Year Back. Recently Getting Heartburn. Treatment?

Hi, I had my gallbladder removed almost a year ago, and after that Im constantly bloated, belching, severe upper abdominal pain, rarely have solid stool. Sometimes the pain is so bad it feels like I never had it removed or like just after it was removed. None of this ever went away after the surgery. Recently though I've been getting heartburn which isn't really normal for me. I thought the symptoms should be gone by now?
