Adjustable gastric band insertion is performed for the treatment of morbid obesity. There are multiple complications associated with this procedure but caecal volvulus is not commonly associated with this procedure. A case of caecal volvulus as a late complication post laparoscopic gastric band insertion is presented requiring surgical repair with uncomplicated post-operative recovery.
