This case highlights a rare postoperative complication after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in a bariatric patient. A middle-aged adult woman presented with recurrent abdominal symptoms due to mechanical obstruction of the alimentary limb caused by a V-Loc™ suture (Medtronic plc, Dublin, Ireland). Despite prior inconclusive imaging and endoscopy, diagnostic laparoscopy identified the obstruction. The patient recovered well postoperatively. This case underscores the importance of clinical vigilance and awareness of potential complications associated with surgical sutures in bariatric procedures.
