Sleeve gastrectomy aids weight loss and improves health but can cause nutrient deficiencies. Long-term monitoring by a nutritionist is crucial for patients to prevent malnutrition after this bariatric surgery.
Area of Science:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Nutritional Science
- Endocrinology
Background:
- Sleeve gastrectomy is effective for sustained weight reduction and improving comorbidities like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- This procedure involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, which can impair nutrient absorption, particularly for iron, vitamin B12, and protein-bound nutrients.
- Malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies are potential risks following sleeve gastrectomy due to reduced intake and absorption.
