Background: Abdominal pain and postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) are common after bariatric surgery.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the potential relationship between abdominal pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and PBH more than a decade after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with dietary intervention has an educational role in reducing symptoms.
Subjects: At two public hospitals in Norway (one University Hospital) 22 of 46 invited patients who reported abdominal pain more than weekly took part.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between adherence to vitamin and mineral supplementation and nutrient deficiencies in patients 12 years post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
- Conducted in Norway, the research analyzed data from 490 patients regarding their supplementation habits and blood nutrient levels, revealing that while a majority adhered to recommendations, deficiencies in key vitamins were still prevalent.
- The findings suggest that sticking to supplements can lower the risk of deficiencies but may not completely prevent them, particularly for vitamins B, D, and folate.
Purpose: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a well-documented treatment of severe obesity. Attending postoperative educational programs may improve the outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether participation in educational programs lasting 2-3 years after RYGB influences long-term weight loss, weight regain, physical activity, and compliance to multivitamin supplements.

Previous studies with fish protein have reported improved glucose regulation in healthy adults, but the evidence in older adults is limited. Therefore, we wanted to assess the effect of increasing doses of a cod protein hydrolysate (CPH) on postprandial glucose metabolism in older adults.
