Cited in Scopus: 2The incidence of esophageal motility disorders in morbidly obese patients has not been well established. Some studies have suggested that although the prevalence of these disorders might be greater than in the normal population, obese patients might not necessarily develop symptoms [1]. Therefore, esophageal motility disorders can be overlooked during preoperative testing and the evaluation for bariatric surgery and only become apparent after surgery. In other patients, esophageal motility disorders might arise de novo after the procedure or arise as a complication of the procedure.
