Obese patients who have had recent surgery for weight control may be difficult to evaluate radiologically. Their large size, unwillingness to cooperate and complicated anatomy present obstacles to satisfactory radiologic evaluation. With modified examination techniques, a knowledge of the normal postoperative anatomy, and understanding of the potential complications, radiologists can expeditiously perform reliable radiologic studies on patients who have had surgery for weight control.
