Dubai, AE -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2014 -- Bariatric surgery, sleeve surgery & gastric bypass including mini gastric bypass Surgery has been proven to be the only effective, long-term treatment for morbid obesity & now for diabetes type 2.

On the other hand this surgery can cause micronutrient deficiencies like vitamins & minerals

The commonest bariatric procedure worldwide is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which was designed to combine a reduction in stomach volume and shorten the small intestine to produce a combination of a restrictive and malabsorptive state. Although it is now known that calorie malabsorption does not occur, the effects of bypass procedures do not correlate with the reduction in stomach volume either. The mechanism of weight loss appears partly due to profound loss of appetite in association with increased satiety gut hormone concentrations

Vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies observed More after gastric bypass and to a lesser extent after laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery. other s like calcium , iron deficiency can also occur therefore after bariatric surgery

Therefore Multivitamin supplementation is essential following bariatric surgery. Post regular follow up with your doctor is advisable to monitor vitamin levels after surgery at regular intervals.
