10 Often start on full liquid diet in initial days with adequate protein. Diet gradually advanced to small, soft meals. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Stop eating once satiety reached. Gradually re-introduce regular foods in small amounts. Avoid a lot of liquid calories. Ideal protein intake 1-1.5g/kg ideal weight daily.

11 Diabetes: rapid changes in insulin/diabetes medication requirements. Require frequent monitoring and adjustment of meds. Adjust doses of anti-hypertensives Consider stopping medications for GERD Avoid enteric-coated or controlled-release medications (esp RYGB) Avoid NSAIDs post-operatively Fertility often increases after bariatric surgery Women counseled to delay pregnancy for months (during period of rapid weight loss) Malabsorption of oral contraceptives may reduce efficacy: non-oral forms recommended Evaluate for nutritional deficiencies before pregnancy Economic modeling using insurance databases and clinical studies Matched cohorts look at health care utilization for groups that undergo weight loss surgery vs medical interventions Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) cost per QALY 11
