Mm. Ramirez et Ma. Turrentine, GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE DURING PREGNANCY IN A PATIENT WITH A HISTORY OF VERTICAL-BANDED GASTROPLASTY, American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 173(5), 1995, pp. 1630-1631
Pregnancy after gastric bypass for morbid obesity is well reported; ho

onal deficiencies. We report a case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage dur
ing pregnancy resulting from erosion of a synthetic graft from a verti
cal-banded gastroplasty performed 4 years previously.
