They demonstrated dilated small bowel loops and multiple air-fluid levels with no free air under the diaphragm (Figure 1).

The distal part of the band, situated 7 cm from the ileocecal junction was attached to the antimesenteric edge of the ileum 15 cm away from the proximal part, which in turn was attached to the mesenteric side of the ileum (Figure 3).
