Yes, If you change the gauge of the strings the tension on the neck will be different resulting in your guitar falling and staying out of tune. Take it in to a shop and that will show you what they are doing (try and find a local shop). The cost is generally not that bad and you will make sure it was done right.

Do you have to adjust truss rod when changing string gauge?

With a truss rod that is functioning properly, there are only two things that might require the neck to be adjusted: A change in string gauge (higher or lower tension) or. A change in weather humidity (which can cause the neck to expand or contract).

Do heavier gauge strings have more tension?

Heavier gauge strings naturally have more tension in them when they are tuned to pitch. This means greater effort is required to play them in the form of fretting and bending, but it's not just the player that feels the extra strain, the guitar is affected by the heavier gauge too. ... That's a huge jump in tension!
