{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To evaluate the appearance of gastroesophageal reflux in our population after sleeve gastrectomy as management for obesity, with the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Retrospective study of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy during 2016 and 2017, having ruled out gastroesophageal reflux (GER) with pre-surgical upper digestive endoscopy, and post-operative evaluation with the GerdQ scale.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>129 patients were included in the study, average age was 45 years, gender of greater male appearance was 77.5%, the most frequent comorbidities were hypothyroidism 25.6% and hypertension 23.3%. 12.4% had a score greater than or equal to 8, 14 were women and 2 men, there was no statistically significant relationship with the preoperative mass index.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Standardizing the gastric sleeve technique in the bariatric surgery services, taking into account the technical factors associated with post-operative GERD de novo, decreases its appearance as evaluated by the GerdQ scale.<BR><B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Evaluar la aparición de reflujo gastroesofágico (RGE) posterior a gastrectomía en manga como manejo para la obesidad, con el Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes llevados a gastrectomía en manga durante 2016 y 2017, habiendo descartado RGE con endoscopia digestiva alta prequirúrgica, y evaluación posoperatoria con la escala GerdQ.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Se incluyeron en el estudio 129 pacientes, con un promedio de edad de 45 años, el 77.5% de sexo masculino y como comorbilidad más frecuente hipotiroidismo (25.6%) e hipertensión arterial (23.3%). El 12.4% tenían un puntaje ≥ 8, 14 eran mujeres y 2 hombres, y no hubo relación estadísticamente significativa con el índice de masa corporal preoperatorio.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Estandarizar la técnica de manga gástrica en los servicios de cirugía bariátrica, teniendo en cuenta los factores técnicos asociados a RGE posoperatorio de novo, disminuye la aparición de RGE según lo evaluado por la escala GerdQ.
