Sure. There was a patient who seemed to be a good candidate for sleeve gastrectomy. However, after the surgery, they developed a stricture in their new stomach. This meant that food couldn't pass through easily. They had to go through multiple endoscopic procedures to try and widen the passage, but it was extremely painful and not always successful. They lost a lot of weight very quickly, not in a healthy way but because they couldn't eat properly. They became malnourished, with low levels of important nutrients like protein.

Eventually, they had to be hospitalized for a long time to receive proper nutrition through intravenous means while the doctors tried to fix the stricture problem.
