Although obesity rates are higher in African-American than European-American women, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its comorbidities are more prevalent in European-American women. A common denominator for increased adiposity, and consequent insulin resistance, is excess dietary
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) has been proven effective against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients. We present our experience with revision of antireflux procedures to LRYGBP in obese patients with recurrent GERD, weight gain or a
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that obese children are at higher risk of having gastroesophageal reflux symptoms compared with nonobese children.
METHODS
In this prospective study, 236 obese children (age: 7 to 16 y) were interviewed using a standard questionnaire for reflux symptoms and a reflux
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in severely obese patients and the association between symptoms and objective data of GERD in this population.
METHODS
A total of 158 consecutive severely obese patients (BMI > or = 40 kg/m(2)) were prospectively
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a recognized risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Traditional antireflux surgery (fundoplication) may not be appropriate in the morbidly obese, especially when other effective alternatives exist (bariatric surgery).
METHODS
A 13-item survey was designed to
BACKGROUND
Obesity is now one of the world's major chronic diseases. The etiology of the severe comorbid conditions associated with morbid obesity is not fully understood, and in particular the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux and obesity.
METHODS
Sixty-seven patients were enrolled in
The implementation of high-resolution manometry (HRM) and the Lyon Consensus statement facilitate evaluation of gastroesophageal reflux disease and motility disorders in morbidly obese patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate prevalence and phenotype of (borderline) GERD and BACKGROUND
Esophageal reflux is common in obese patients. Hiatal hernia is considered a potential contraindication to placement of a Lap-Band.
METHODS
Esophageal investigation in patients who were candidates for a Lap-Band included clinical evaluation of symptoms (scoring system), endoscopic and
BACKGROUND
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly associated with morbid obesity. Laparoscopic fundoplication is a standard surgical treatment for GERD, and laparoscopic gastric bypass has been shown to effectively resolve GERD symptoms in the morbidly obese. We sought to compare the
BACKGROUND
Obese children for unknown reasons report greater asthma symptoms. Asthma and obesity both independently associate with gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms (GORS). Determining if obesity affects the link between GORS and asthma will help elucidate the obese-asthma
BACKGROUND
The 24-h ambulatory pH-metry with multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring (24-h pH-metry+MII) allows the simultaneous assessment of chemical and physical properties of esophageal refluxes and the detection of its proximal migration.
METHODS
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between reflux and body mass index (BMI) in the asymptomatic obese population using the impedance-pH technique.
METHODS
Gastroesophageal reflux is frequent in the obese population. However, the relationship between acid reflux and BMI in asymptomatic obese
Purpose: Long-term follow-up after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) revealed a high incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) frequently caused by preoperative silent pathologic reflux. We aimed to evaluate prevalence and phenotypes of
OBJECTIVE
The association between GERD and obesity has been frequently reported in adults. Data in children are scarce and inconclusive, evaluating only general obesity. Central adiposity has never been investigated in children as a possible risk factor for GERD. The aims of the present study were
Fifty consecutive massively obese patients referred for gastroplasty operations were prospectively studied to determine the existence of gastroesophageal reflux disease by means of a standardized questionnaire, 24-hr ambulatory pH-metry, and endoscopy (27 females, mean age 48 years, range 38-57
