A case is reported of a 40-year-old woman with a past history of bariatric surgery with vertical banding gastroplasty. Migrating band was observed during upper GI endoscopy performed for pyrosis. Before undergoing another bariatric intervention, migrated band had to be removed. This procedure was successfully performed endoscopically using argon plasma coagulation. No complication occurred. This case highlights that migrated band could be easily and safely removed without the need of specific or dedicated endoscopic tool.
