Abstract
Bariatric surgery can lead to considerable weight loss in patients with morbid obesity who have failed to achieve or maintain weight loss with supervised programs. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding are common bariatric surgeries. The former results in better weight loss and a reduced number of failures compared with the latter, despite its significantly longer operative time and life-threatening complications (1). We present a case involving a 32-year-old woman with history of LRYGB who presented with intractable abdominal pain. The initial abdominal imaging study was unremarkable; however, subsequent imaging studies showed volvulus of the midgut requiring surgical intervention.
