Abstract

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease of multifactorial etiology, with a growing global prevalence in recent years. One of the treatments used in obese patients is bariatric surgery, which requires criteria to be followed for scientifically supported techniques aimed at treating morbid or severe obesity and chronic diseases related to excess body fat (Saleset et al., 2020). Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the literature on nutritional care after bariatric surgery, focusing on calcium absorption. The economic impacts of obesity are substantial, with high costs associated with treating its comorbidities and a loss of productivity due to related diseases and disabilities (Salminen et al., 2022). Therefore, obesity and its comorbidities represent a significant challenge to global health. However, the need for further long-term research is evident to improve understanding of the outcomes and ensure the effectiveness of procedures, especially regarding nutrient absorption in bariatric patients. The results obtained in this review aim to elucidate the influence of bariatric surgery on calcium absorption in patients undergoing this procedure. However, it is important to remember that bariatric surgery is not a magic solution for weight loss. It is essential that patients follow a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
