Abstract

|
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a restrictive procedure which has a low morbidity and mortality rate in the immediate postoperative period along with a good weight loss. It is necessary for weight loss to adjust gastric band with calibration. Sometimes, patients performed LAGB experienced vomiting, regurgitation, and epigastric discomfort by over-filling. But to the contrary, we may meet patients who do not feel early satiety in the face of over-filling. We report here, the case of a 24-year-old woman with a failure of adjusting gastric band despite of over-filling, and unbuckled band, treated via removal of unbuckled band. Surgical band removal and change, or conversion to other procedures should be considered when unbuckled gastric band are encountered.
