What happens with the stomach acid thats produced in the lower stomach

In the RNY where the lower stomach is no longer used but still produces acid what happens to that area when there is no food for the acid to work on doesnt that part of the stomach develop ulcers? and what if you already have ulcers how is that addressed preop so as not to get worse post op?Also if ulcers do develop how are they treated since that part of the stomach is now closed off.Am I correct in assuming that with the VBG ulcers are less of a problem because food actually passes through the lower part of the stomach?
