Highlights Although most complications following LAGB are confined to the stomach and port site, some may envolve the entire bowel causing extensive damage. One must be wary of the presentation of long term complications, as it may initially present as an unrelated pathology, such as acute pancreatitis. Long term complications may be asymptomatic for years despite extensice damage, including multiple contained perforations. The surgical procedure performed to treat long term complications should be planned and performed by physicians experienced in foregut surgery.
