Bariatric Surgical Procedure

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a popular bariatric surgical procedure. The introduction of laparoscopy has increased the use of this procedure, making it the most commonly performed bariatric surgery. Patients undergoing LAGB have achieved satisfactory results in terms of weight loss, a reduction in co-morbidities, and improved quality of life. Nonetheless, complications with LAGB are well documented and include migration, erosion, prolapse, infection, pouch dilation, gastric perforation, and most commonly, lack of weight loss following the failure of the procedure. This case report presents a patient with slippage and pouch dilation, erosion of the stomach, and port site problems, including infection, occurring 28 years after LAGB.
