Practice book on long-term outpatient care of bariatric surgery patients. With increasing numbers of patients following bariatric surgery, specific knowledge, regarding medical and therapeutic consequences, is required in all practicing specialties. General practitioners and family physicians play a key role in lifelong follow-up. This requires expertise not only in the surgical procedures themselves, but especially in the metabolic processes that are altered by surgery. The high postoperative diabetes remission rates also require a focused view. This book aims to contribute to a practical transfer of indispensable knowledge related to long-term care after bariatric and metabolic surgery. From the contents Basics of surgical procedures Postoperative complication management Malabsorption, possible deficiency symptoms, bone metabolism, supplementation Drug absorption and interactions Endocrinologic management of patients of childbearing potential A practical guide for practicing physicians of all specialties caring for patients after bariatric and metabolic surgery.
