Let me know what you thought of this episode!

Bariatric surgery changes the anatomy of the gastrointestinal system and the absorption. This also affects how your body responds to nutrients long term. There is a significant risk of nutrient defciencies particularly as time goes on. 

You might feel well but aren't actually realising that it can take  years for a deficiency to develop. 

I go through signs and symptoms to be aware of. Remember you need to take a bariatric multivitamin long term and get annual bloods. See your healthcare team for more support in this area.
