A Review on the Management of Nutritional and Metabolic Problems Following Bariatric Surgery

Abstract

In individuals with extreme obesity, bariatric surgery (BS) is now the most effective treatment for causing long-term weight reduction as well as lowering mortality and comorbidity load. However, BS may also lead to additional clinical issues, difficulties, and side effects, particularly in the area of nutrition. As a result, managing bariatric patients' dietary needs requires specialized nutritional knowledge. Again, final therapy will be much more challenging if any of these persistent issues are not handled quickly. Severe and permanent issues may develop if these disorders go undetected. The typical and more recent issues that patients who have had bariatric surgery are now experiencing will be covered in this article. Bariatric surgery patients need to be monitored medically for various factors, which are often influenced by the kind of surgery done. Nutritional counselling is advised after surgery to make it easier for patients to adjust their eating behaviours to their new gastrointestinal physiology. Nutritional deficiencies may develop depending on the kind of bariatric treatment; they should be avoided, identified, and remedied. This review provides the management of nutritional and metabolic problems following bariatric surgery.
