Long Term Outcomes of Bariatric Patients Treated With Surgery or Endoscopy (NCT03705416)
Reflux in the Obese Undergoing Surgery or Endoscopy (ROSE) Previously: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Bariatric Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
GERD is common in the obese population. Bariatric procedures are the mainstay of therapy for these patients. Bariatric procedures can be surgical (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Vertical sleeve gastrectomy) or endoscopic (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty). The rate of GERD after either treatment is unknown as is the rate of silent reflux. The study primary objective is to assess the incidence rate of GERD in bariatric patients that undergo either therapy.
