Abstract
Background The prevalence of obesity has increased to epidemic proportions and, as a result, the number of bariatric surgeries has increased worldwide. To date, bariatric surgery remains the sole medical intervention that achieves considerable and sustained weight loss. As both obesity and bariatric surgery are associated with nutritional deficiencies, the aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary intake of macroand micronutrients in patients before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
