Abstract
Half of patients with obesity reported typical GERD symptoms and >70% had evidence of GERD. Poor acid clearance was the main mechanisms. Since typical reflux symptoms don't predict objective findings, endoscopy and reflux monitoring should be part of the surgery work-up especially before restrictive procedures.
