Study tracks reflux after sleeve gastrectomy: who gets better, who gets worse?
NCT ID NCT06835933
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study followed 64 adults who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a common weight-loss surgery) to see how acid reflux symptoms changed. Researchers compared those who had reflux before surgery with those who did not. They used a standard questionnaire to measure heartburn and regurgitation before and after the operation. The goal is to better understand patterns of reflux after surgery, which could help guide future patient care.
