Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure with potential complications such as leaks and fistulas.

Conversion to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass successfully addressed the issue. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing complications following sleeve gastrectomy.
