Bariatric surgery is one of the most successful treatment options for morbid obesity and related comorbidities that is reserved for patients when lifestyle modifications and medical treatments fail. Bariatric surgeries are proven to result in weight reduction and improve obesity-related complications; however, there still are some reported failures. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with morbid obesity and diabetes mellitus who had failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) when done individually. The patient finally had a successful weight loss after undergoing revision LAGB over LSG. Although the present literature reports LAGB being an unsuccessful weight loss procedure, this case highlights the significance of LAGB as an effective bariatric surgery compared to other procedures. Our patient not only lost her weight successfully but also resolved her comorbid conditions and mental illness following the LAGB.
