Obesity has been shown to be an independent risk factor for developing esophageal motility disorders, with a prevalence of 20% to 61% [1–4]. Achalasia is a rare primary esophageal motility disorder that is even more rare among the obese population. It is characterized by aperistalsis of the esophagus and lack of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Associated symptoms in the nonobese patient include dysphagia, regurgitation, reflux, and weight loss. On the contrary, among the obese population regurgitation, cough and aspiration are the presenting symptoms.
