Abstract:
A 20-year-old female, who had suffered from morbid obesity with a BMI of 41.2, was admitted 3 years after undergoing laparoscopic gastric banding. 3 days before her present admission, she began suffering from abdominal pain without vomiting. On admission investigation, gastric prolapse was diagnosed with complete obstruction of passage through the band. Emergency laparoscopy was performed, which showed devitalization of the stomach above the band. At the operation, the band was removed, and conservative treatment was begun with nasogastric aspiration, total parenteral nutrition, and close observation.

In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
