Description:

The purpose of this session is to educate both surgeons and IH members on how to work up and manage reflux in MBS patients. Reflux is a complex disease and if not managed appropriately can lead to complications such as Barrett’s and cancer. Selecting the wrong initial MBS procedure can lead to worsening of the disease. An understanding of reflux disease and management is critical for those taking care of MBS patients.

  1. Understand how to properly work up reflux even when your center may lack specialized testing.
  2. Be able to offer dietary management and life style changes to manage reflux.
  3. Metabolic and bariatric surgery as a treatment for reflux- which procedure should you choose to treat the patient with reflux.
