    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band is one of the surgical options available for morbid obesity in the current century. Its popularity is gained by its proven efficacy with a reported low incidence of the intraoperative as well as the postoperative complications. Stomal obstruction post-laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) has been under reported in the English literature. We report this complication in two patients and discuss two different simple modalities of treatment. Post-LAGB complications are numerous, dealing with their complications have a steeping curve. Educating the patients postoperatively in regard to food ingestion manner is a must and should prevent such complication.
