Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the inner lining of the esophagus. This is a particular problem after surgery to reduce obesity called gastric sleeve resection. The goal of this small clinical trial is to examine the effect of endoscopic treatment of GERD by mucosal band ligation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

All 12 patients with GERD will undergo the same procedure. Multiple rubber bands will be used to ligate mucosa in the gastroesophageal junction and cardia in 3/4 of the circumference.
The mucosa in 3/4 of the circumference of the gastroesophageal junction and cardia will be treated with mucosal band ligation left in place. This will be done during upper endoscopy in sedation. It is the endoscopic procedure that is being investigated.
