Abstract
Obesity and GERD have not only been rising in prevalence but also are among the most common conditions seen by gastroenterologists today.1 Here, we present a 63-year-old woman with class II obesity (body mass index, 36 kg/m2; weight, 236 lb), proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-responsive GERD, and Crohn’s ileocolitis, who was referred for further management of her obesity and GERD. Despite intensive lifestyle changes, she was unable to lose significant weight. In addition, she required double-dose PPI for her reflux symptoms.
