Lithium Toxicity with Severe Bradycardia Post Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Case Report and Review of the Literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (GB) is the most popular restrictive procedure for obesity in Europe. Isolated sleeve gastrectomy (SG), is less common, but more invasive and with a higher learning curve. The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare the results of GB and SG after 1 and ...
