“…To our knowledge, this is the first reported tubing-related complication in a pregnant woman. Most reported cases during pregnancy involved slippage of band rather than tubing-related complication [ 6 , 7 ]. Gastric band complications during pregnancy need to be acted on promptly as delay in management can be dangerous not only for the mother but fetus alike [ 8 – 10 ].…”

In the past few decades, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is one of the most common bariatric procedures performed to treat morbid obesity. Device-related complication such as connection-tubing problem is rare. Here we present a case of gastric band tubing complication during pregnancy. This case illustrates the need to maintain high index of suspicion of gastric band device-related complication during pregnancy and early referral for bariatric surgical assessment is recommended.

“…However, a shorter period between the LAGB procedure and the pregnancy may put the patient at a greater risk of complications. To date, only 5 cases on band slippage during pregnancy have been published and only one case reports on gastric torsion [20][21][22][23][24][25]. The 6 cases are summarized in Table 1.…”

A 21-year old woman, G1P0, was admitted to our University Hospital at 33 weeks and 2 days of gestational age with a 1 week history of nausea and vomiting and doubled transaminases. Two years before she underwent laparoscopic adjusted gastric banding (LAGB). The estimated fetal weight was 1960 grams (corresponding with P25), doppler measurements were all normal. There was an anhydramnion. Because of gestational age, betamethasone 12 mg was administered twice intramuscularly, with an interval of 24 hours. Because of clinical and biochemical deterioration a primary cesarean section was performed based on the suspicion of a HELLP syndrome. Subsequent to the caesarean section, the epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting persisted.An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed and showed serious band slipping. The patient was planned for urgent laparoscopy. At laparoscopy, a gigantic edematous stomach was seen (size comparable to a 40 weeks gravid uterus), as well as ascites. At exploration, not only a slipping of the gastric band was seen, but also a torsion of the stomach. The postoperative phase was uneventful. One month later, the patient was seen in the outpatient clinic without digestive symptoms.
