Common questions
Do I need vitamins for life after bariatric surgery?
Most patients do, especially after bypass procedures. The exact supplements depend on your surgery and are adjusted using regular blood tests.
I am regaining weight after a sleeve. Can nutrition help?
Yes. Regain is common and usually has identifiable causes such as grazing, liquid calories or low protein. A structured plan can often restart progress.
Should I see a nutritionist before surgery?
Ideally, yes. Preparing before surgery makes the early stages easier and helps you build the habits you will need afterwards.
