GERD is known to be a consequence of obesity. Please evaluate yourself by calculating your own BMI. A BMI over 27.5 kg/m2 is considered to be obesity.
Next visit a Laparoscopic surgeon to clinically evaluate and advise investigations including ultrasound abdomen to rule out associated problems like gallstones and fatty
liver disease, an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate the esophageal sphincter, maybe a manometry.
Thereafter a treatment plan can be prepared including dietary advice, medical management and a discussion of possible surgical options
Next Steps
Visit a laparoscopic surgeon with interest in surgical management of obesity and upper GI disorders.
