Abstract:
Obesity is a chronic disease and a major health concern in the United States. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common metabolic and bariatric surgery performed in the United States. Complications after sleeve gastrectomy are rare and mostly observed during the acute phase. We present a case of delayed gastric leak after LSG secondary to marijuana consumption. In this case report, we discuss the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics and management of delayed gastric leak, and its association with marijuana consumption.
