Abstract

Obesity is highly prevalent in both liver transplant candidates and recipients, and can have a significant impact on perioperative morbidity and mortality and the overall cost of transplantation. Herein, we describe an obese patient who was managed sequentially with an intragastric balloon in the pre-transplant setting and a gastric sleeve following transplantation, with good long-term results. Sleeve gastrectomy is a non-malabsorptive bariatric procedure with potential benefit for liver transplant patients due to its lack of influence on the absorption of immunosuppressive agents.
