Abstract
Bowel bypass surgery, which involves shortening the small bowel to abo ut 45 cm, is a modality of treatment for morbid obesity. Although this procedure is not routinely performed today, patients with complicatio ns from this procedure are still seen by physicians. The case of a pat ient who had bowel bypass surgery and experienced subsequent complicat ions is discussed.
