Abstract

Bariatric surgery is considered the only effective method of achieving long-term weight loss and ameliorating obesity-associated comorbidities in morbidly obese patients. However bariatric surgery is associated with risks of nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition. Therefore, postoperative nutritional follow-up and supplementation of vitamins and trace elements should be recommended. In this review, we provide essential information on nutritional complications and nutritional management after bariatric surgery.
