Book Chapter Description

Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term and researched method for weight loss in morbidly obese patients. However, they can trigger nutritional deficiencies, so they will need a multidisciplinary follow-up. It must be focused on individualized control, potential macro and micronutrient deficiencies prevention, and their treatment throughout the process. The main pillar to prevent the appearance of disorders related to nutritional deficiencies has been shown to be preoperative screening and subsequent supplementation. Besides, certain deficiencies might be increased or even new ones could appear during the postoperative period in those patients with no preoperative screening.
