Abstract
In today's society, as the number of obese people increases year by year, the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) continues to rise. Although bariatric surgery has brought good news to these patients who are unable to lose weight on their own, it is still unclear whether it is effective in relieving GERD, or even inducing or aggravating GERD. In this article, we will review and provide evidence of the effect of bariatric surgery on GERD.
