Population Management of Post Bariatric Surgery Patients to Prevent Micronutrient Deficiencies

Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity. However, post-bariatric surgery patients develop vitamin malabsorption due to altered anatomy that can lead to micronutrient deficiencies. The overall goal of this study is to investigate whether the creation of a population management program specifically developed for patients who underwent bariatric surgery can improve achieving meaningful long-term compliance and postoperative outcomes. We hypothesize that population outreach significantly improves compliance in post-bariatric surgery patients, leading to a reduction in micronutrient deficiencies and associated complications.
