Late complications of open gastric bypass can include malnutrition, weight gain, stomal stenosis, and recurrent bleeding ulcers. Herein, we describe the case of a woman who had recurrent bleeding ulcers, after an open revision of a stenotic gastric bypass. She now underwent an uneventful laparoscopic revision of her gastrojejunostomy and was discharged within 72 hours. Laparoscopic revision of a gastrojejunostomy, even after an open revision following an open gastric bypass, can be done safely.
