Abstract

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States and around the world. As the number of individuals living with obesity and its associated comorbidities increases, so has the number of weight loss surgeries being performed. Over the last several decades, we have gained knowledge about the different comorbidities and complications that affect patients before and after bariatric surgery, gastroesophageal reflux disease among them. This chapter aims to discuss the medical and surgical strategies for the management of de novo or recurrent GERD after the three most commonly performed bariatric surgeries: adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy.
