Core Tip Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) secondary to intragastric balloon (IGB) insertion for obesity management is a rare and severe complication with significant patient morbidity. The onset of symptoms of GOO secondary to IGB is variable with the management usually endoscopic. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with clinical and radiological features of GOO secondary to Silimed IGB insertion which was successfully managed with endoscopic removal. The article reveals a predilection for this complication in women with endoscopic removal being the most commonly utilized modality in treatment.
