Nutritional Concerns for Bariatric Surgery

  • Chapter
Preventive Nutrition

Abstract

Obesity is present in 34 % of the population in the USA, and its presence has increased markedly in other countries at a surprising rate. The obesity rates are expected to rise further in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries, and to a greater extent in former socialist countries and Latin America. Also, the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 states that while the epidemic might have peaked in developed countries, obesity rates are expected to rise to over 40 % in a number of developing countries. In the past decade more persons have reached the level of stage II and severe obesity making them eligible for bariatric surgery. In addition, for those individuals who reach this level of obesity, usual weight loss diets are often not successful. Bariatric surgery offers these individuals the opportunity to lose weight that is permanent and is often the only way for many to reduce their obesity related comorbidities. Improved techniques in the field have led to a dramatic rise in the number of bariatric procedures performed. Hence, understanding the acute and long-term nutritional outcomes is important as these patients continue to need care from clinicians after their surgical procedures.
