POST-OPERATIVE EFFECTS IN REDUCING ROUX-Y GASTROPLASTY: VITAMIN DEFICIENCY AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES (Atena Editora)

Abstract

Obesity has been considered as a chronic disease with a high level of surplus in recent times. Due to this disease, many people are being directed to undergo the procedure of reducing gastroplasty using the bypass in Y-DE-ROUX (RYGB), as it is a metabolic or mixed surgery, where the metabolism becomes faster, helping to lose weight at long term. As a result of this method, patients undergoing this method suffer from vitamin deficiency, since the part of the intestine where the greatest absorption of vitamins occurs is isolated due to the method used. This work aims to bring more consistent and comprehensive information about gastric bypass with the Y-DE-ROUX bypass method and about the vitamin deficiencies that this technique causes, from information about obesity to the consequences of the post-surgical period. This way, we carry out a narrative review in order to respond to the proposed objective, being carried out analysis, critical evaluation and integration of the published literature on the subject, using websites, articles and magazines, so that the objective is achieved, making a maximum survey of information. necessary for people, both lay people and health professionals, to understand the described subject.
