ASMBS and Bariatric Clinical Guidelines

• Gastric Bypass (RYGB/RNY), and Duodenal Switch (DS) patients are recommended to take a high potency multi-vitamin that contains selenium and magnesium.
• Quality absorbable form of nutrients should be used after bariatric surgery due to the absorption challenges of bariatric patients.
