Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Gastric bypass (GBP) is more efficient than adjustable gastric banding (AGB) on weight loss and comorbidities, but potentially induces more nutritional deficits. However, no study has compared the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies after these two bariatric procedures. WE PROSPECTIVELY COMPARED: To prospectively compare the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies after AGB and GBP. METHODS: We have performed a 1-year prospective study of nutritional parameters in 70 consecutive severe obese patients, who had undergone bariatric surgery, 21 AGB and 49 GBP. After GBP, multivitamin supplements were systematically prescribed and vitamin B12 supplementation was introduced if a deficiency was observed. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
