Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment for obesity that yields durable weight loss with significant improvement or resolution of T2D and other weight-related chronic cardiometabolic diseases. While the advantages of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), the most performed bariatric surgery procedure, include procedural simplicity, short operating time, lower complication rate, durable weight loss, and significant improvement including remission of type 2 diabetes, a major drawback is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The purpose of this review is to summarize the prevalence of and predictors of GERD after LSG, physiological mechanisms that explain the risk, and novel surgical management and strategy.
