Abstract

Background: The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is currently suggested as the operation of choice for cases with severe obesity & gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD, since it has been correlated with acceptable GERD control in both short-term and long-term trials.

Results: we found that 16.7% of pts who have never symptoms of GERD after lap. Sleeve they had errosive esophagitis grade a, 16.7% of pts who have mild symptoms of GERD after lap. Sleeve they had errosive esophagitis grade a, 66.7% of pts who have moderate symptoms of GERD after lap. Sleeve they had errosive esophagitis grade A.
