Abstract
There has been a sharp decline in laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) placement, making up less than 3% of the US bariatric procedures in 2017. This decline is due to high rate of long-term failure, and myriad of complications including device malfunction, band slippage, esophageal and pouch dilation, and gastric erosion. We present a rare case of high-grade small bowel obstruction caused by gastric band tubing.
