Abstract

Morbid obesity is a major health problem worldwide and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a popular surgical treatment. A 40 year old woman, 17 years post RYGB presented with concurrent symptomatic gastric ulcers and acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was difficult and after failed medical therapy, surgery was required. The gastric remnant is not easily accessible by endoscopy thus; detecting PUD in this excluded segment is difficult. As a result, alternative methods, such as exploratory laparotomy or pediatric endoscopy may be required to effectively diagnose the gastric remnant.
