Abstract:
Bariatric surgery has increasingly been applied for patients with severe obesity. By dramatically reducing body weight and producing favorable effects on disorders in endocrine metabolism, bariatric surgery has shown to be able to lower the overall mortality. However, this intervention involves a profound change in digestive physiology and may cause nutrition and endocrinal metabolism-related severe complications, which mainly result from the deficiency or unbalance of macronutrients and micronutrients. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a fixed management procedure which includes routine perioperative nutritional consultation, regular monitoring, and early preventive nutritional support, so as to prevent metabolic complications and achieve better outcomes.
