    Bariatric surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), is the gold standard for treating morbid obesity and related comorbidities.

  • 2

    Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in excluded segments post-RYGB is rare but can lead to severe complications, including bleeding and perforation.

  • 3

    The incidence of PUD after RYGB is unclear, with reported cases often biased towards complicated presentations.

  • 4

    Post-RYGB, gastric acid production continues, influencing ulcer development in the excluded stomach and duodenum.

  • 5

    Risk factors for PUD after RYGB include NSAID use, smoking, and H. pylori infection, which can exacerbate mucosal injury.
