Nutritional Management of Bariatric Surgical Patients in the Peri-operative Setting

Jonathan Sivakumar

Abstract

Bariatric surgical treatments have increased in recent history, largely due to the growing rates of obesity. In light of this, correct nutritional management of these patients peri-operatively is as crucial as ever. This article describes the evidenced-based approach to the nutritional management of patients in the setting of bariatric surgery in order to achieve the best possible outcome post-operatively.
