- W2170189584 abstract "This document is intended to provide an overview of the elements that are important to the nutritional care of the bariatric patient. It is not intended to serve as training, a statement of standardization, or scientific consensus. It should be viewed as an educational tool to increase awareness among medical professionals of the potential risk of nutritional deficiencies common to bariatric surgery patients. The goal of this document is to provide suggestions for conducting a nutrition assessment, education, supplementation, and follow-up care. These suggestions are not mandates and should be treated with common sense. When needed, exceptions should be made according to individual variations and the evaluation findings. It is intended to present a reasonable approach to patient nutrition care and at the same time allow for flexibility among individual practice-based protocols, procedures, and policies. Amendments to this document are anticipated as more research, scientific evidence, resources, and information become available. The Dietitian's role is a vital component of the bariatric surgery process. Nutrition assessment and dietary management in surgical weight loss have been shown to be an important correlate with success [1Cottam D.R. Atkinson J.A. Anderson A. Grace B. Fisher B. A case-controlled matched-pair cohort study of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Lap-Band® patients in a single U.S. center with three-year follow-up.Obes Surg. 2006; 16: 534-540Crossref PubMed Scopus (64) Google Scholar, 2Cummings D.E. Shannon M.H. Ghrelin and gastric bypass: is there a hormonal contribution to surgical weight loss?.J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003; 88: 2999-3002Crossref PubMed Scopus (132) Google Scholar]. A comprehensive nutrition assessment should be conducted preoperatively by a dietitian, physician, and/or well-informed, qualified multidisciplinary team to identify the patient's nutritional and educational needs. It is essential to determine any pre-existing nutritional deficiencies, develop appropriate dietary interventions for correction, and create a plan for postoperative dietary intake that will enhance the likelihood of success. The management of postoperative nutrition begins preoperatively with a thorough assessment of nutrient status, a strong educational program, and follow-up to reinforce important principals associated with long-term weight loss maintenance. A comprehensive nutrition evaluation goes far beyond assessing the actual dietary intake of the bariatric patient. It takes into account the whole person, encompassing several multidisciplinary facets. Not only should the practitioner review the standard assessment components (i.e., medical co-morbidities, weight history, laboratory values, and nutritional intake), it is also important to evaluate other issues that could affect nutrient status, including readiness for change, realistic goal setting, general nutrition knowledge, as well as behavioral, cultural, psychosocial, and economic issues. The role of nutrition education and medical nutrition therapy in bariatric surgery will continue to grow as tools to enhance surgical outcome and long-term weight loss maintenance are explored further and identified.

Deficiencies of single vitamins are less often encountered than those of multiple vitamins. Although protein–calorie undernutrition can result in concurrent vitamin deficiency, most deficiencies are associated with malabsorption and/or incomplete digestion related to negligible gastric acid and pepsin, alcoholism, medications, hemodialysis, total parenteral nutrition, food faddism, or inborn errors of metabolism. Bariatric surgery procedures specifically alter the absorption pathways and/or dietary intake. Symptoms of vitamin deficiency are commonly nonspecific, and physical examination might not be reliable for early diagnosis without laboratory confirmation. Most characteristic physical findings are seen late in the course of nutrient deficiency [[17]Harrison's on lineDisorders of vitamin and mineral metabolism: identifying vitamin deficiencies.http://www.MerckMedicus.comGoogle Scholar]. Laboratory markers are considered imperative for completing the initial nutrition assessment and follow-up for surgical weight loss patients. Established baseline values are important when trying to distinguish between postoperative complications, deficiencies related to surgery, noncompliance with recommended nutrient supplementation, or nutritional complications arising from pre-existing deficiencies. Additional laboratory measures might be required and are defined by the presence of the existing individual co-morbid conditions. They are not included in Table 4. Table 4 is a sample of laboratory measures that programs might consider using to comprehensively monitor patients' nutrition status. It is not a mandate or guideline for laboratory testing. Table 5 is an example of a supplementation regimen. As advances are made in the field of bariatrics and nutrition, updates regarding supplementation suggestions are expected. This information is intended for life-long daily supplementation for routine postoperative patients and is not intended to treat deficiencies. Information on treating deficiencies can be found in the Appendix “Identifying and Treating Micronutrient Deficiencies.” A patient's individual co-morbid conditions or changes in health status might require adjustments to this regimen. It is common knowledge that a comprehensive bariatric program includes nutritional supplementation guidance, routine monitoring of the patient's physical/mental well-being, laboratory values, and frequent counseling to reinforce nutrition education, behavior modification, and principles of responsible self-care. As the popularity of surgical interventions for morbid obesity continues to grow, concern is increasing regarding the long-term effects of nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional complications that remain undiagnosed and untreated can lead to adverse health consequences and loss of productivity. The benefits of weight loss surgery must be balanced against the risk of developing nutritional deficiencies to provide appropriate identification, treatment, and prevention. Vitamins and minerals are essential factors and co-factors in numerous biological processes that regulate body size. They include appetite, hunger, nutrient absorption, metabolic rate, fat and sugar metabolism, thyroid and adrenal function, energy storage, glucose homeostasis, neural activities, and others. Thus, micronutrient “repletion” (meaning the body has sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals to perform these functions) is not only important for good health, but also for maximal weight loss success and long-term weight maintenance. Obtaining micronutrients from food is the most desirable way to ensure the body has sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals. However, some experts have suggested that most individuals in our “fast-paced, eat-out” society fail to consume sufficient amounts of unprocessed foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, such as fruits and vegetables, fish and other protein sources, dairy products, whole grains, nuts and legumes. Poor dietary selection and habits, coupled with the reduced vitamin and mineral content of foods, can lead to micronutrient deficiencies among the general public that interfere with body weight control, increasing the risk of weight gain and obesity. Therefore, a daily vitamin and mineral supplement is likely to be of value in ensuring adequate intake of micronutrients for maximal functioning of those processes that help to regulate appropriate body weight. Taking daily micronutrient supplements and eating foods high in vitamins and minerals are important aspects of any successful weight loss program. For the morbidly obese, taking vitamin and mineral supplements is essential for appropriate micronutrient repletion both before and after bariatric surgery. Studies have found that 60–80% of morbidly obese preoperative candidates have defects in vitamin D [19Buffington C.K. Walker B. Cowan G.S. et al.Vitamin D deficiency in the morbidly obese.Obes Surg. 1993; 3: 421-424Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar, 20Ybarra J. Sanchez-Hernandez J.

Such defects would reduce dietary calcium absorption and increase a substance known as calcitriol, which, in turn, causes metabolic changes that favor fat accumulation [23El-Kadre L.J. Roca P.R. de Almeida Tinoco A.C. et al.Calcium metabolism in pre and postmenopausal morbidly obese women at baseline and after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.Obes Surg. 2004; 14: 1062-1066Crossref PubMed Scopus (49) Google Scholar, 24Schrager S.
