English Abstract
Journal Article
[Postoperative management].
Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift 2023 November
Bariatric surgery results in significant weight loss, reduction or even remission of obesity-associated comorbidities, reduced mortality, and improved quality of life in many patients; however, obesity is a chronic disease, thus follow-up care is required after bariatric surgery. Furthermore, specific issues, such as micronutrient deficiencies and subsequent complications, can arise both in the short-term and the long-term. Abdominal pain after bariatric surgery must always be regarded as a serious symptom. A further focus should be on the diagnosis and treatment of dumping syndrome. Patients with type 2 diabetes should be regularly screened for recurrent hyperglycemia as well as specific sequelae, even though blood glucose levels may be substantially improved or normalized. In addition to centers with multidisciplinary teams, primary care and, in particular, general practitioners will play an increasingly more important role in the follow-up care after bariatric surgery.
