    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) significantly affects quality of life and can lead to severe complications, especially in obese patients.

  • 2

    Surgical options for GERD include Fundoplication and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), both effective for patients unresponsive to medical treatment.

  • 3

    RYGB may offer advantages over Fundoplication in patients with moderate obesity, including reduced morbidity, greater weight loss, and better control of comorbidities.

  • 4

    The choice between Fundoplication and RYGB in patients with moderate obesity depends on GERD severity, comorbidities, and patient preferences.

  • 5

    This study aims to provide data on complications, reflux control, quality of life, and comorbidity reduction after Fundoplication and RYGB.
