Help! Having Constant abdominal/Back pain/ loss of appetite

Where do I start. About 11 weeks ago I began having upper abdominal pain with mid to upper back pain. My stomach was seemed off. My doctor recommended Prilosec, and Sulcrafate just in case I had an ulcer. She also ordered blood work which came back ok except for slightly elevated white blood cell count. This did not help whatsoever. I had an ultrasound of my abdominal area which showed nothing. I was then referred to a GI doctor who noticed when he palpated my upper abdominal area, I had pain. He sent off for a HIDA scan which showed I had bilinary  dyskinesia with a 17% efraction rate. We are at week 2 by this point. He suggested we go ahead and yank the gallbladder out which in a week we did. By this point I had noticed a significant appetite change and didn't feel like eating. I would never say this pain was triggered by eating fatty foods, just there all the time in a dull achey fashion. I had a cat scan around a week after surgery as I was still in strong pain. It was clear. This pain has continued on for several more weeks. I still have the constant pain that will not go away. One night the pain was so strong I headed to the ER which did more blood work and an additional CT scan, still clear, other than slightly elevated white blood cell count. My doctor suggested I should try Mayo Clinic which I did which performed more blood work( white blood cells not elevated) a upper endoscopy, a colonoscopy, and a ct enterography with oral and Iv contrast. They didn't find anything, Ive also noticed how suddenly I can't sleep anymore. I always have been a great sleeper but lately I have been having to take Tylenol pm, which still doesn't help a ton. I also notice food seems to run through me( not always diarrhea, just not digesting food very much and it running through me quick. I've lost 20 pounds and am at a slight loss. All tests from Mayo came back clear. I still have all the same pains this started with. My pain is mostly upper, middle back pain and epidermic area pain. This is starting to get scary and I don't know where to turn. Please help. Thank you in advance.
