Abstract

We report on two cases of small bowel obstruction in the setting of a previous laparoscopic adjustable gastric band insertion. In both cases, a closed loop obstruction was created by the band and delayed diagnosis resulted in significant morbidity. Early recognition with deflation of the adjustable gastric band and nasogastric tube insertion is paramount to managing these patients.
