Abstract

Gastric bands have been used since the 1970s for weight loss. Owing to a rise in complications, this procedure has significantly decreased in popularity. Our study describes a 63-year-old woman with a history of nonadjustable gastric band placement 30 years ago who presented with an incidental imaging finding concerning for a gastric mass. Esophagoduodenoscopy revealed erosion of gastric band material through the gastric wall. Our case highlights the importance of endoscopy for assessment of abnormal imaging, including surgical complications in the differential for intraluminal masses, and obtaining a thorough surgical history.
