We present a case of a female patient with a prior laparoscopic gastric bypass who develops two years after surgery a gastrogastric fistula characterized by intractable abdominal pain and unsatisfactory weight loss. A laparoscopic revisional surgery was performed with pouch and remnant gastrectomy and new gastrojejunal anastomosis. The patient evolution was satisfactory, the symptoms were solved and new excess weight loss was achieved.
