Abstract
Endoscopy in the bariatric surgical patient presents a new challenge for gastroenterologists, one that will be encountered with increasing frequency as the performance of bariatric surgery increases. To ensure a safe, successful, and useful endoscopy, it is important to be familiar with the expected postsurgical anatomy and endoscopic appearance after the various bariatric operations and common complications that can arise.
