Does Sleeve Gastrectomy Worsen Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Obese Patients? A Prospective Study

Methods: GERD was evaluated by the Modified Italian Gastroesophageal reflux disease—Health-Related Quality of Life
(MI-GERD-HRQL) questionnaire, pH-manometry, endoscopy, and Rx-esophagogram, before and 12 months after
surgery. Based on these exams, patients without GERD underwent LSG, and patients with GERD underwent LGB.
Results: Thirteen and six patients underwent LSG and LGB, respectively. After LSG, the only statistically significant
difference observed at pH-manometry was the median DeMeester score, from 5.7 to 22.7 (P = .0026). De novo GERD

Effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Quality of Life Related to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Purpose: Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effects of LSG on GERD symptoms in obese patients using a validated quality-of-life questionnaire. Methods: Records of 100 patients (median body mass index [BMI] 44.4 kg/m2, range 35-63.6) without hiatal hernia or severe GERD were analyzed. GERD symptoms were evaluated by GERD Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQL) questionnaire before and after surgery. Weight loss and comorbidity resolution were recorded.
