Abstract
We have reported the case of a morbidly obese patient who became gravely ill during the first day after vertical banded gastroplasty. The diagnosis of a leak from the stomach was established by a Gastrografin swallow, and ten additional operations were done before the patient was discharged on the 135th postoperative day.Keywords
