Common Concerns After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
摘要
Metabolic/bariatric surgery has become an increasingly popular treatment for obesity and related metabolic disorders. While it offers significant benefits with respect to reduction in weight and improvement in comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension, it also poses certain risks and side effects, particularly concerning gastrointestinal (GI) health. This chapter explores the various issues and other side effects associated with metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS), including constipation, skin sagging, hair fall, water intolerance, diarrhea, dumping syndrome, vomiting, hypoglycemia, weakness, and steatorrhea. Understanding these complications is crucial for healthcare professionals to manage postoperative care and ensure optimal patient outcomes effectively.
