Throughout my career, advances in bariatric surgery have made it an increasingly life-changing procedure for my patients. Nevertheless, the nature of the surgery often means that patients have a harder time absorbing vitamins and minerals from their food. One of the most necessary vitamins is also one of the hardest to absorb from food after a bariatric procedure.

Bariatric surgery can be an important leg on your journey to better health. I am often inspired by my patients' stories and the hard work they put in to improve their lifestyles and health outlook. But the surgery is not without side-effects.
