Do people get gerd after gasteric sleeve surgery?

It can happen: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has been reported to increase the risk of new onset gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) by altering the normal position of the sphincter at the gastroesophageal junction or in some cases, having the sleeve migrate into the chest. One survey found that 6.5% of the patients who had undergone lsg developed post-operative gerd.

Sleeve gastrectomy: They can develop gerd after sleeve gastrectomy. Both sleeve and lap bands can cause gerd, or make it worse if you already have gerd. If a patient has severe gerd prior to surgery, the gastric bypass is the preferred operation as it is an anti-reflux procedure that cures gerd.
