“…We hypothesize that after balloon deflation, transient obstruction at the pyloric outlet may occur resulting in emesis. In contrast, gastric obstruction is a known complication of other gastric balloons that may require early balloon removal [3,19]. Although this study represents a very early experience, given the safe expulsion of the Elipse device through emesis in approximately 10 % of our total experience with the device, it appears that vomiting may also be a safe mode for Elipse excretion.…”

This complication is a diagnostic challenge because 7.4% of the patients presented with non-pathological vomiting during the first week post insertion 3. In case of high inflammatory markers or hemodynamic instability, the performance of CT is mandatory.…”
