    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a common surgical procedure for obesity that combines restrictive and malabsorptive techniques.

  • 2

    Hypoglycemia can occur post-RYGB surgery even in patients without diabetes, potentially due to changes in glucose metabolism.

  • 3

    The study utilized the TriNetX database, encompassing over 275 million individuals, to analyze the risk of hypoglycemia after RYGB.

  • 4

    Patients included in the study were aged 18 or older with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher, excluding those with diabetes or GLP-1 receptor agonist use.

  • 5

    The primary outcome measured was the incidence of hypoglycemia, defined by specific ICD-10 codes or laboratory glucose levels.
