- The study investigated the changes in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in 160 patients one year after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and aimed to identify preoperative predictive factors.* -
- Results indicated that while about 36.3% of patients reported GERD symptoms after surgery, some experienced improvements, and 29.6% of those who were initially asymptomatic developed new symptoms.* -
- The only significant predictors of postoperative GERD symptoms were preoperative GERD symptoms and positive preoperative ambulatory pH monitoring in asymptomatic patients, rather than other factors like manometric measurements or weight loss.*
Functional dyspepsia is a common functional gastrointestinal disease that is characterized by postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain, and/or epigastric burning.

Eating behaviors, irregular meal patterns, and moderate-to-fast eating rates are significantly associated with functional dyspepsia.
