To add some context and make it more simple, I'll both to a sentence:
Since you've gone to the store, I just played some games.
Since you've been gone, I just played some games.
Both sentences, in this case, have almost the same meaning. However, the first one you have to add where the "gone" leads to: gone out, gone to the store... etc, you cannot leave that without context, otherwise, it would not be grammatically correct.
Since you've been gone just implies that the person left, but it isn't grammatically necessary to mention where to.
