“…Although there are few cases, and the literature mostly describes RYGB as a treatment option, currently, conversion to GS seems to be a good treatment option with long-term follow-up by a multidisciplinary team. With the increase in bariatric procedures worldwide and in our region, along with the popularization of medical tourism [ 15 ], it is important for bariatric surgeons to be aware of these early procedures and to have the skill and knowledge to offer appropriate solutions for patients.…”

Obesity has long been recognized as a global epidemic. One of the most effective treatments is bariatric surgery. Since the first modern procedure was reported, it has evolved over time, and multiple techniques have emerged. More than 20 years ago, one of the most widely used techniques was the non-adjustable gastric band (NAGB), which showed very promising short-term results. However, over time, it became apparent that it was not as effective in the long term. Associated gastrointestinal symptoms, such as reflux and constant vomiting, along with considerable weight regain, caused this technique to fall out of favor and be replaced by other procedures like the gastric sleeve (GS). Although the technique has fallen into disuse and is no longer recommended in the literature, there are still patients with associated complications. Few recent cases associated with these complications have been reported. Most undergo band removal, and whether to perform another procedure remains with limited evidence. We present the case of a patient who underwent an NAGB procedure 10 years ago and later experienced symptoms (reflux) and weight regain. She successfully underwent band removal and conversion to a GS at our institute in Mexico.

Obesity is considered the pandemic of this century. With the popularization of bariatric surgery due to its effectiveness, the number of procedures has significantly increased. One of the most performed surgeries is sleeve gastrectomy (SG). It is a safe procedure that rarely presents complications, with the most common being bleeding or staple line leaks. However, there are other less common complications or those that have been infrequently reported in the literature, such as acute hiatal hernia (AHH), which may require additional surgical intervention if it occurs. As the number of bariatric procedures performed worldwide increases, the likelihood of encountering these low-incidence complications also rises. The few cases reported in the literature describe different surgical techniques for this complication. The objective of this study is to describe the case of a female patient who developed AHH after undergoing SG, which was successfully treated with reduction and omentopexy in Mexico.
