ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a bariatric procedure that was introduced in the early 1990s and offers a minimally invasive and reversible option for weight loss. Initially popular due to its simplicity and effectiveness, LAGB's long-term success has been limited by complications such as port-site infection, pouch dilatation, and gastric band erosion. Herein, we describe a rare case of gastric band erosion found incidentally during endoscopy a decade after placement. The eroded band was successfully removed using a combined endoscopic and laparoscopic approach.
