Abstract
The incidence of obesity in the US is increasing. This has been associated with an increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea. Diet alone has generally been ineffective in attaining significant weight loss. Bariatric surgery is associated with significant weight loss and improvement in diabetes, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea. In this article we describe an unusual complication of bariatric surgery.
