What are bariatric vitamins and do you need to take them after bariatric surgery?

To answer the first question, bariatric vitamins are those vitamins that many doctors and nutritionists recommend for post-surgery patients who have undergone a weight loss surgical procedure.

To answer the second question, depending on the type of surgery you have had, you may need to supplement your diet with certain vitamins that your body cannot absorb as readily (as it did before surgery). Certain types of bariatric surgery can lead to malabsorption problems, which partly means that you may not be getting the vitamins and minerals you need from your diet.
