Core Tip	Bariatric surgery is the only effective means to sustain weight loss. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become popular because of its advantages over more complex bariatric procedures. However, an increased rate of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) has been reported after SG that is either de novo or is caused by aggravation of preexisting symptoms. The literature is ambivalent about the implications for increased rates of GERD after SG. This article reviews the mechanisms of GERD in obese subjects, and the results from SG with respect to GERD. Future directions are discussed along with current surgical options for obese patients with GERD and undergoing bariatric surgery.
