    Background: It is unknown whether surgically treated achalasia cases regain or surpass their usual weight into obesity or overweight in the long-term post-operative period. Here, we aimed to assess the incidence of overweight/obesity (Ob/Ow) and the risk for reoccurrence up to 48 months post-laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM). Methods: We performed a cohort of 114 achalasia cases undergoing LHM. All patients had a confirmed diagnosis of achalasia and had no added comorbidities. We followed up the body mass index (BMI) at the immediate post-operative period, and at one-, six-, 12-, 24-, and 48 months after LHM. We measured the incidence of Ob/Ow and its reoccurrence risk with Cox regression. © © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
