What Causes Spasms In Esophagus Post Gall Bladder Surgery?

I am a 54 year old, caucasian woman. I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago, due to the presence of numerous stones. I am 10 years post gastric bypass, and weigh about 190. I have had spasms in my esophagus previously, and they have returned with a vengance since my gallbladder surgery. Could it be that the nerve was irritated during surgery?
