Reviewer's report:  
 
Thank you for the opportunity to review this rare and interesting case report. This is a well written 
and clear report.  
 
 
I have few comments:  
 
1) was your reconstruction a Roux -en-Y or a BII ?  
 
2) Cab you elaborate on the choice  between reaction vs. resection to prevent recurrences? In the 
bariatric literature there is a clear advantage of resection vs. placation's. reduction.  
 
3) You mention similarities to bariatric patients, however their intussusception it is not in the 
stomach but jejunum. The line 45 should be corrected.  
 
4) one of the contributors to intussusception in post bariatric surgery is the laxity of mesentery 
secon dary to visceral fat loss. Any role in non bariatric cases?  
 
 
Thank you again
