Abstract

Achalasia is an unusual motility disorder that can be seen in conjunction with obesity. The prevalence of achalasia is unknown in obese patients and when present, the clinical characteristics are atypical. We report a case of achalasia that was diagnosed 13 years after a vertical-banded gastroplasty was performed.
