A250 A case of food intolerance after sleeve gastrectomy

In this video presentation we present a case of food intolerance after sleeve gastrectomy. The patient is a 68-year-old female with a BMI of 35.8kg/m2 who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and hiatal hernia repair at an outside hospital. Soon after her initial procedure she developed progressive dysphagia, vomiting and chest discomfort. She was seen by a gastroenterologist. Manometry was inconclusive. The patient underwent seven pneumatic balloon dilatations of a presumed esophageal stricture without durable symptomatic relief before she was referred to surgery.
