Optimizing the nutritional status of bariatric surgery patients requires understanding challenges such as malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. This presentation covers factors contributing to malnutrition in bariatric patients, highlights the challenges of conducting nutrition-focused physical exams in sarcopenic obesity, and details safe nutrition support initiation for failure-to-thrive patients at risk for refeeding syndrome. By addressing these issues, healthcare providers can better manage the nutritional needs of bariatric surgery patients, improving outcomes and reducing complications.
