ABSTRACT

Weight control is one of the main recommendations for medical treatment in patients with obesity and GERD disease symptomatology. The advent of bariatric surgery, as well as minimally invasive procedures for weight control and antireflux surgery have changed the ideal treatment in patients with obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Symptomatology is increased with a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, and studies suggest that a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 is a predisposing factor for the appearance of hiatal hernia and esophagitis 1.
