Core Tip	Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is rapidly becoming the most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedure. Post-operative dysphagia is present in 22.7% of patients after VSG. Medical conditions significantly associated with post-operative dysphagia include diabetes mellitus, symptoms of esophageal reflux, low whole blood thiamine level, hypothyroidism, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and use of opioids. After VSG, 9.3% of patients develop narrowing of the gastric sleeve. In patients with dysphagia after sleeve gastrectomy and evidence for narrowing of the gastric sleeve, hydrostatic balloon dilatations of the gastric sleeve leads to resolution of dysphagia in 69% of patients.
