RESUMO
We report a 65-year-old male, suffering from aspiration pneumonia after gastric banding revealed by intermittent fever inducing a delayed diagnosis. Several early and later pulmonary complications following laparoscopic gastric banding have been reported. Removal or deflation of the band should be considered in unexplained persistent fever to avoid more severe complications such as respiratory distress.
