AbstractComplications of the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, including erosion, have been well described. Increasingly, endoscopic techniques are being utilized to manage complications of this and other weight loss procedures. The authors presented what was believed to be one of the first reported cases of successful endoscopic removal of an eroded gastric band during pregnancy. A complete description of the case and review of the relevant literature is provided. Endoscopy for management of eroded adjustable gastric bands needs to be part of the armamentarium of surgeons and endoscopists who deal with complications of weight loss surgery.
