Cited in Scopus: 1A 38-year-old woman had undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding at an outside facility in July 2007. Her preoperative weight was 135 kg; her current weight was 108 kg. Her last fill was 13 months before presentation. She presented with a 3-day history of abdominal pain and fever, and diarrhea for 1 day. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed intense inflammation of the omentum around the band tubing. Esophagogastroscopy confirmed the diagnosis of band erosion. She was treated with antibiotics and had her band removed 1 month later.
