Abstract

BACKGROUND: Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a complex complication, often characterized by potentially severe hypoglycemic episodes and reduced hypoglycemia awareness. Recent findings suggest that autonomic dysfunction, preoperative hypoglycemia symptoms, and early dumping syndrome may each contribute to PBH risk.
