    Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is essential for treating obesity and related comorbidities, impacting nutrient absorption and micronutrient deficiencies.

  • 2

    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) both lead to similar micronutrient deficiency profiles despite different mechanisms of action.

  • 3

    The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and is altered following MBS, which may contribute to weight loss and obesity-related complications.

  • 4

    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis is linked to gut microbiota changes, with recent studies highlighting immune responses and B-cell pathology.

  • 5

    Pre-operative assessments for MBS should include vitamin B12 levels, as deficiencies can significantly impact immune function and overall health post-surgery.
