    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common metabolic procedure, accounting for 50% of all such surgeries globally.

  • 2

    SG can lead to long-term nutritional deficiencies similar to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, despite intact intestinal surface area.

  • 3

    A specialized multivitamin supplement, WLS Optimum, was developed to address micronutrient deficiencies in SG patients.

  • 4

    The optimized version of WLS Optimum improved serum levels of key vitamins and reduced deficiencies compared to standard multivitamins.

  • 5

    Compliance with multivitamin supplementation is often poor among SG patients, impacting long-term nutritional status.
