Optimizing nutrition interventions: recommendations for pre- and post-bariatric adult patients to achieve long-term success—a systematic review
摘要
Bariatric surgery is a well-known procedure for morbid obesity, which has achieved great success with weight loss and improvement of obesity-related diseases. Such will result in nutritional deficiencies, complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dumping syndrome, and challenges with maintaining weight after undergoing bariatric surgery; necessitating comprehensive management of nutrition.
AimThis systematic review assesses the efficacy of pre- and post-operative nutrition intervention through bariatric surgery to prevent nutrient deficiencies while improving long-term surgical outcomes. We aim to create evidence-based, clinical guidelines to mitigate risks and improve patient outcomes following bariatric surgery.
MethodsA literature search was conducted cross-database (2013 to 2024) related to bariatric procedures, dietary therapy, and nutritional care components aimed at reducing the risk of deficiencies and adverse incidents in adult patients with obesity.
ResultsPost-surgery, endogenous malnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent, especially with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Complications, including GERD and dumping syndrome, can have a detrimental impact on patient quality of life. Low-calorie diets filter good results before surgery and facilitate zephyr loss. An emphasis on follow-up and tailored supplementation to avoid deficiencies in pivotal vitamins and minerals (notably B1, B12, D, calcium, and iron) is vital as part of a multidisciplinary approach to personalized nutritional management.
ConclusionTailor-made nutritional care significantly enhances bariatric patient outcomes. It requires ongoing assessment, personal adaptation to prevent possible deficiencies and complications, and, thus, success over time.
RecommendationsComprehensive pre- and post-operative nutritional assessments, adherence to balanced diets, daily multivitamins and minerals supplementation, and an active lifestyle are recommended. Further research is recommended to explore non-surgical interventions and optimize dietary strategies for diverse patient populations.
