Abstract

We are presenting a case of a 31-year-old female with morbid obesity who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) six weeks ago. The patient complained of acute abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss. After a diagnostic evaluation, it was discovered that the patient had small bowel obstruction with post-surgical changes and a concurrent splenic infarct. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing potential complications, such as vascular injury and infarction, following RYGB.
