Abstract
With the growing prevalence of obesity and its association with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), the thoracic, foregut, and bariatric surgeons will be ever more commonly facing the challenge to treat GERD in patients with obesity, albeit having the opportunity to treat GERD and obesity simultaneously. In this review, we outline the outcomes of laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS) in patients with Class 1, 2, and 3 obesity, as well as GERD outcomes of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We also discuss the revisional surgical options for patients with obesity and failed LARS, or with GERD after LRYGB and LSG.
