Resolution of Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes after Laparoscopic Truncal Vagotomy, Subtotal Gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y Gastrojejunostomy for a Patient with Intractable Gastric Ulcers

Background. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been shown to be an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with morbid obesity. However, it is unclear just how effective the LRYGB procedure is on T2DM for patients with BMI less than 35 kg/m(2). We report one obese patient with T2DM who did not meet the current NIH criteria for morbid obesity surgery. T...

Rare case of concurrent intussusception and volvulus after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity

Most gastric bypass patients do not present with classic obstructive symptoms. We present a rare case of concurrent intussusception and volvulus in a woman with previous history of internal hernia following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
