Early postoperative follow-up reduces risk of late severe nutritional complications after Roux-En-Y gastric bypass: a population based study

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Severe nutritional complications can occur following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Adherence to follow-up visits can reduce the risk of many bariatric surgery complications, but whether this applies to severe nutritional complications is unknown. OBJECTIVES: Determine the association between adherence to follow-up visits after RYGB and risk of severe nutritional complications.
