Use of Supplements After Bariatric Surgery

The supplements we use after obesity surgery can sometimes make our patients nervous.

However, since our stomach volume is reduced in obesity surgery, the amount of vitamins we need to take changes with the decrease in the food entering our body. In order to control this situation, it is very important for us to take some vitamins within the prescribed period with the follow-up of your doctor.

So why do we use these vitamin/mineral supplements?

🔺 Ensuring that the vitamins and minerals that our body needs are taken up to a certain level with low food intake.
🔺 Taking precautions against diseases that may occur due to vitamin deficiency
🔺 To prevent deterioration in the nutritional system that may occur due to vitamin deficiency

The main supplements we recommend our patients to use in the early postoperative period are;

👉🏻 Multivitamins
👉🏻 Vitamin D
👉🏻 Iron
👉🏻 Calcium
👉🏻 Vitamin B12

The duration of use of these vitamin and mineral supplements must be adjusted by your doctor. 👨‍⚕️

For this reason, regular follow-up and blood tests after bariatric surgery are very important both in weight loss and in recognizing any deficiency that may occur.❗️
