Abstract
A new complication following jejuno-ileal bypass for gross obesity is described. The patient suffered from hypoglycaemic attacks which were associated with total depletion of liver glycogen together with a progressive micronodular cirrhosis. Increased dietary protein and calorie content relieved her symptoms, restored liver glycogen but had no effect on the development of the cirrhosis over the next 12 months.
