The gastric-gastric fistula is an infrequent complication of bariatric surgery, but one you have to suspect it in cases of weight gain or sickness. For its diagnosis it is necessary to conduct an upper digestive endoscopy or other imaging techniques, such as a barium-based contrast examination or CT with water-soluble contrast.
