Abstract

|
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a popular bariatric procedure in South Korea, and the majority of female patients who receive LAGB are of childbearing age. Due to possible band-related complications, careful evaluation is required for those who become pregnant after LAGB procedures. A 28-year-old female, gravida 1, para 0, who had undergone LAGB two years earlier presented to the clinic at the 31st week of gestation. She had experienced acute epigastric pain and vomiting for one week. She was diagnosed with gastric band slippage. She underwent cesarean section and laparoscopic gastric band removal at the 35th week of gestation. Management of gastric band slippage during the third trimester is difficult, especially before the 34th week of gestation. We report on a case of medical and surgical treatment of gastric band slippage during the third trimester.
