title: Perforated small bowel diverticulitis after gastric bypass.
abstract: We report a rare case of complicated jejunal diverticulitis in a patient with previous bariatric surgery. Small bowel diverticulosis is generally considered an inoffensive disease. In this report we describe a case of small bowel perforation in an obese subject who had undergone laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
