TLDR
The mechanisms responsible for GERD in obese subjects as well as the results after a SG with respect to GERD are reviewed, along with the current surgical options for morbidly obese patients with GERD and undergoing bariatric surgery.
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the only effective procedure that provides long-term sustained weight loss. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has emerged over the last few years to be an ideal bariatric procedure because it has several advantages compared to more complex bariatric procedures, including avoiding an intestinal bypass. However, several published follow-up studies report an increased rate of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) after a SG. GERD is described as either de novo or as being caused by aggravation of preexisting symptoms. However, the literature on this topic is ambivalent despite the potentially increased rate of GERDs that may occur after this common bariatric procedure. This article reviews the mechanisms responsible for GERD in obese subjects as well as the results after a SG with respect to GERD. Future directions for clinical research are discussed along with the current surgical options for morbidly obese patients with GERD and undergoing bariatric surgery.

High-resolution Impedance Manometry after Sleeve Gastrectomy: Increased Intragastric Pressure and Reflux are Frequent Events

TL;DR: SG significantly modified esophagogastric motility with high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) and may have a clinical impact on the management of patients with upper GI symptoms after SG.

Lack of correlation between gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and esophageal lesions after sleeve gastrectomy

TL;DR: GERD symptoms and visual analogue scale score were not significantly associated with the development of erosive esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus and the severity of the esophageal lesions, and symptoms and PPI intake in patients consuming PPI were similar to that of patients without PPI.

Revision of primary sleeve gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: indications and outcomes from a high-volume center.

TL;DR: Revision of SG to RYGB is a potentially effective means of treating SG complications, particularly reflux, which was the most common indication for revision and was often associated with a hiatal hernia.

Comparison of mini-gastric bypass with sleeve gastrectomy in a mainly super-obese patient group: first results.

TL;DR: MGB achieved superior weight loss at 1 year and had a lower 30-day complication rate in comparison with SG for super-obese patients, suggesting that MGB might be superior to SG regarding the treatment ofsuper-obesity.

TL;DR: A graded increase in the prevalence ratio (PR) was observed with increasing severity of overweight and obesity for all of the health outcomes except for coronary heart disease in men and high blood cholesterol level in both men and women.

Lifestyle, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors 10 Years after Bariatric Surgery

TL;DR: A prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects Study involved obese subjects who underwent gastric surgery and contemporaneously matched, conventionally treated obese control subjects, which reported follow-up data for subjects who had been enrolled for at least 2 years or 10 years before the analysis.

The Montreal Definition and Classification of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Global Evidence-Based Consensus

TL;DR: Novel aspects of the new definition include a patient-centered approach that is independent of endoscopic findings, subclassification of the disease into discrete syndrome, and the recognition of laryngitis, cough, asthma, and dental erosions as possible GERD syndromes.

Bariatric Surgery versus Intensive Medical Therapy for Diabetes — 3-Year Outcomes

TL;DR: Among obese patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, 3 years of intensive medical therapy plus bariatric surgery resulted in glycemic control in significantly more patients than did medical therapy alone.
