SupportCan bariatric surgery affect Vitamin B12 levels?
Yes, individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery are at a higher risk of developing Vitamin B12 deficiency due to changes in the digestive system. The surgery can reduce the stomach's ability to produce intrinsic factor, a protein essential for B12 absorption. Lifelong B12 supplementation is often necessary after bariatric surgery to prevent deficiency.
