Abstract
Simultaneous gastric band removal and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy have gained increasing acceptance recently, however, the risks associated with a single stage revisional approach have yet to be fully delineated. We describe a case of retained adjustable gastric band following elective conversion to a gastric sleeve that was not recognized for over 12 months. The patient subsequently required an operation for band extraction.
