Abstract
Obesity is a progressive chronic health condition affecting people worldwide. Obese patients are at an increased risk of many serious health conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and various types of cancer. Bariatric surgery structurally modifies the gastrointestinal tract to reduce caloric consumption or absorption. In addition to restricting caloric absorption, bariatric surgeries also have the unintended potential to restrict absorption of other enteral products, including vitamins, minerals, and medications. After surgery, patients typically experience rapid weight loss and might require adjustments to long-term medication regimens owing to changing medication distribution patterns and the effects of weight loss on chronic disease states.
