    Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) may lead to new or worsening gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), impacting long-term outcomes and quality of life.

  • 2

    EndoFlip™ was used to assess distensibility indices (DI) of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and pylorus before and after SG.

  • 3

    Postoperatively, the DI of the GEJ and pylorus significantly increased, indicating changes in their functional properties after SG.

  • 4

    Preoperative DI of the GEJ was significantly different between patients who developed GERD postoperatively and those who did not.

  • 5

    This pilot study highlights the potential of EndoFlip™ in predicting GERD outcomes after SG, warranting further research with larger cohorts.
