The laparoscopic adjustable silicone banding (LAP-BAND) procedure has rapidly gained acceptance and is now considered the most common bariatric operation. In the literature, there are rare case reports about respiratory complications following LAP-BAND. Hofer et al. (3) reported a case of recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Nemni reported a case of chronic cough that was eliminated after LAP-BAND deflation (4). Almoudi reported a case of left lower lobe pneumonia 3 years following LAP-BAND. The patient had presented with asthma-like symptoms (5).
