Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Gallbladder removal does not lead to acid reflux. Both are different issues. The stress due to surgery could have probably triggered the reflux.
You can take medications like omeprazole for relief.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
