Abstract
The prevalence of achalasia in the morbid obesity population is low. However, there havebeen cases of patients diagnosed with both conditions, including some diagnosed with achalasia after undergoing bariatric surgery. Even though the surgical management of both conditions has been well studied separately, there is no consensus of the treatment when these conditions coexist. We describe the case of a patient with history of a Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy who was later on diagnosed with achalasia and successfully treated with Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy.
