Obesity has become a burden on healthcare systems. This has led to influx of variety of modalities to treat it. The endo-bariatric arm of management has expanded considering it less invasive nature. As a consequence, new kind of complications have been reported. We report a rare thoracic complication of endo-bariatric procedure that was treated with successful result. The report highlights the nature of the complication and the way to approach it.
