Core Tip	Twist of the stomach remnant post sleeve gastrectomy is a rare entity. We are reporting a case of gastric twist post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This was managed conservatively with a long stent for 7 d. In laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy the stomach is converted into a tube and is devoid of its supports, making it prone for twisting. Such a twist can be avoided by properly aligning the staples and by placing tacking sutures to the omentum. This twist is a functional obstruction rather than a stricture; thus, it can be managed by endoscopy and stent placement.
