Summary: Globally, obesity is increasing and is known to have negative effects on health. A study in Cape Town, South Africa investigated the prevalence of micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies in individuals scheduled for metabolic surgery. The study found high rates of vitamin D, iron, and folate deficiencies. Based on these findings, the authors recommend baseline assessment of vitamin D, iron, and folate, as well as screening for type 2 diabetes, in this population.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among adolescents with morbid obesity, especially those who are candidates for bariatric surgery. Calcium levels were normal among the patients, but a high proportion had insufficient serum vitamin D levels, indicating a need for attention to this issue.

Summary: This study evaluates the influence of vitamin D concentrations and preoperative metabolic phenotypes on the remission of CNCDs after RYGB. The results suggest that preoperative vitamin D adequacy may have a protective effect on metabolic health, even in the presence of an unhealthy phenotype.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) and found that preoperative vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is common in MBS candidates. Early postoperative values of vitamin D were comparable between Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) and One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB).

Summary: Revisional bariatric surgery is becoming more popular as long-term follow-up studies show a high failure rate of primary surgery. This study aimed to determine the best revisional procedure after failure of primary restrictive surgery. The results showed that biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass were the most effective procedures in terms of weight loss.

Summary: Bariatric surgery is an effective method for significant weight loss in patients who have not achieved weight loss through pharmacological interventions. Post-surgery, sustained weight loss offers metabolic advantages and improves glucose and lipid metabolism. However, bariatric surgery is associated with deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, requiring monitoring and supplementation.

Summary: This pilot study aimed to assess biochemical and historical data of bariatric patients before surgery to identify nutritional deficiencies. Results showed common electrolyte and nutritional deficiencies in patients prior to surgery, with higher prevalence in males for globulin and microalbuminuria. Older patients were more likely to have albumin, globulin, and zinc deficiencies, while patients with higher BMI tended to have vitamin D and albumin deficiencies. Wider waist circumstance was associated with higher albumin deficiencies. Routine evaluation of electrolyte and nutritional levels is recommended for this patient population.

Summary: Bariatric surgery is associated with a decrease in 25(OH) vitamin D levels and increased risk of skeletal complications. Guidelines for assessing and supplementing vitamin D in bariatric patients before and after surgery are lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis provide recommendations for vitamin D management in bariatric patients based on published experience. Vitamin D levels should be assessed pre- and postoperatively in all bariatric surgery patients, and high-dose supplementation is recommended after surgery.

Summary: This study revealed a potential association between higher levels of parathyroid hormone post-bariatric surgery and vitamin D deficiency and lower calcium levels, despite recommended supplementation. The importance of routine testing for hyperparathyroidism both before and after bariatric surgery was emphasized.

Summary: This paper is a result of the 5th International Conference Controversies in Vitamin D, which aims to discuss controversial issues about vitamin D. The paper focuses on the relationship between vitamin D and malabsorptive gastrointestinal conditions. The participants reviewed literature and presented their findings, highlighting the bidirectional relationship between vitamin D and these conditions. The paper emphasizes the importance of regularly assessing and supplementing vitamin D in patients with these conditions.

Summary: Obesity is linked to worsened asthma outcomes, but bariatric surgery has shown to be effective in weight loss and asthma improvement. Compared to nonsurgical weight loss programs, bariatric surgery offers greater weight loss and more consistent improvement in asthma symptoms. However, more research is needed to study the effects of surgery on both mild and severe asthma cases.

Summary: Hypovitaminosis D is common among patients before and after bariatric surgery, with serum vitamin D levels significantly increasing 6 months post-operation. The deficiency persists even after bariatric surgery, suggesting a need for higher doses of vitamin D supplementation for morbidly obese patients.
