Page 10 CLINICAL NURSING EDUCATION INTRODUCTION Since its introduction by Mason and Ito in the 1960s, 1 the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has gained a foothold in popularity and effectiveness in the treatment of obesity, obesity-related comorbidities, and metabolic disease. According to the latest estimates, RYGB represents the second most performed bariatric procedure in the United States (23.1%). Sleeve gastrectomy currently holds the number one position (53.8%). 2 Whether involved in the performance of the primary operation or in the care of patients postoperatively, it is important for the healthcare professional to have an understanding of potential long-term complications that can occur in the early and late postoperative period following RYGB. In this article, we discuss the following two late postoperative complications: afferent Roux limb and marginal ulcer.
