Is the Current Micronutrient Supplementation Adequate in Preventing Deficiencies in Indian Patients? Short- and Mid-Term Comparison of Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Purpose: Bariatric procedures reduce the capacity of the gut and alter the gastrointestinal transit time predisposing to micro-nutritional deficiencies. This study analyzed and compared the micro-nutritional parameters following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the Indian population.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent LSG or RYGB for morbid obesity at a tertiary care center between January 2015 and December 2016.
