Monitoring for micronutrient deficiency after bariatric surgery-what is the risk?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bariatric surgery may increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies; however, confounders including preoperative deficiency, supplementation and inflammation are rarely considered.

Objective

To examine the impact of bariatric surgeries, supplementation and inflammation on micronutrient deficiency.

Setting

Two public hospitals, Australia.

Methods

Participants were recruited to an observational study monitoring biochemical micronutrient outcomes, supplementation dose, inflammation and glycaemic control, pre-operatively and at 1-3, 6 and 12 months after gastric bypass (GB; Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass; N = 66) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG; N = 144). Participant retention at 12 months was 81%.

Results

Pre-operative
