There isn’t any malabsorption to nutrient as there’s together with the bypass gastric procedure. Inspite of the stomach being smaller, the sleeve of your respective stomach still functions normally. Nutrients and food continue to enter & leave in the same manner, acid is made continuously to aid in digestion, and essential minerals and vitamins including calcium, folate, B12 and iron might be absorbed normally. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
