Question

The patient is a 37-year-old obese male who underwent a laparoscopic gastric banding surgery one year ago. The patient presents to the emergency department complaining of persistent nausea, vomiting, weakness, and epigastric abdominal pain. Imaging studies were performed, which revealed probable malposition of the gastric band. The patient consented to the removal of the band. He was taken to the operating room where he underwent a laparoscopic evaluation of his gastric band. The examination confirmed that the band had indeed slipped from its proper position. It was this displacement that was causing the patient's symptoms and abdominal pain. The surgeon removed the band and its attached port laparoscopically. The patient was kept in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition and intake and treat his dehydration. His discharge diagnoses were complication of gastric band, obesity with a BMI of 40, and dehydration.
