Sumario:Introduction: Obesity levels mean an increased presentation of patients with Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Method: Literature search revealed a paucity of information on ultrasonography to diagnose a slipped LAGB. Conclusion: 2D Ultrasonography with a standard low frequency curvilinear probe proved to be a simple, effective method of diagnosing slipped Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). We suggest the inclusion of routine abdominal ultrasound (after drinking water to improve sensitivity of the test) as part of the routine workup of suspected LAGB slippage.
