The emergence of bariatric surgeries and their significant impact on the management of morbid obesity have brought about numerous healthcare and economic benefits through surgical interventions. However, it is essential to acknowledge that post-surgical complications, particularly those related to malnutrition, are widespread and often prone to misdiagnosis or inadequate treatment. Recent evidence suggests a rise in malnutrition-related complications, while patient adherence to supplementation and post-operative monitoring fails to match this upward trend. Given the increasing popularity of bariatric surgery as an obesity treatment, it becomes essential to recognize and understand these complications and their associated symptoms of nutritional deficiencies. This undertaking aims to examine the malnutrition complications following bariatric surgery, emphasizing the crucial role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and addressing these issues in patients.
