A member asked:

Can i continue dexilant (dexlansoprazole) 60mg daily for gerd like symptoms 10 days post op laparoscopic cholecystectomy? still have nausea, burping, heartburn at times

I don't think : It will hurt to take it for short term relief of symptoms, say, up to several weeks. If your symptoms go longer, you need more specific advice. You should consult your surgeon for all postoperative problems, including this one.

Yes: Although you are in an early post operative state and your system may still be adjusting it is not uncommon to have gallbladder and reflux issues. Taking Dexilant (dexlansoprazole) is ok. If your reflux symptoms persist discuss them with your surgeon.
