Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Vitamin B12 (B12, cobalamin) deficiency has been associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, suggesting a role for B12 supplementation both as a treatment for psychiatric symptoms due to B12 deficiency and as an augmentation strategy for pharmacological treatments of psychiatric disorders. This critical review discusses the major causes of B12 deficiency, the range of psychiatric and non-psychiatric manifestations of B12 deficiency, the indications for testing B12 levels, and the evidence for B12 supplementation for major psychiatric disorders. RECENT FINDINGS We find that high-quality evidence shows no benefit to routine B12 supplementation for mild depressive symptoms or to prevent depression. There is very limited evidence on the role of B12 supplementation to augment antidepressants. No high-quality evidence to date suggests a role for routine B12 supplementation in any other major psychiatric disorder. No formal guidelines indicate when clinicians should test B12 levels for common psychiatric symptoms, in the absence of major risk factors for deficiency or cardinal symptoms of deficiency. No robust evidence currently supports routine B12 supplementation for major psychiatric disorders. However, psychiatrists should be aware of the important risk factors for B12 deficiency and should be able to identify symptoms of B12 deficiency, which requires prompt testing, medical workup, and treatment. Testing for B12 deficiency should be considered for atypical or severe psychiatric presentations.

Pre- and Post-surgical Prevalence of Thiamine Deficiency in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Obes Surg 2024; 34:653-665. [PMID: 38095772 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06896-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Thiamine deficiency is a life-threatening nutritional abnormality observed in the patients with obesity and following bariatric surgery. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of thiamine deficiency prior to and after bariatric procedures. PubMed, Web of Science, Google scholar, CENTRAL, ProQuest, and Scopus were searched to retrieve relevant studies containing data on thiamine deficiency in patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. A proportional meta-analysis approach was used to pool the prevalence of thiamine deficiency prior and after surgery. Our comprehensive literature search retrieved 41 studies with relevant data. The pooled prevalence of thiamine deficiency was 7% (95% CI: 4-12%) at baseline. We observed that 19% (95% CI: 0-68%), 9% (95% CI: 3-17%), and 6% (95% CI: 3-9%) of patients had developed thiamine deficiency at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery, respectively. We also report that the prevalence of thiamine deficiency in pregnant women who had history of bariatric surgery. The rate was highest in the first trimester (12%) compared to that in the second (8%) and third (10%) trimesters. The baseline prevalence is 7% for thiamine deficiency in bariatric surgery candidates. The prevalence rate of thiamin deficiency increased to 19% and 9% 3 and 6 months after surgery; however, the rate decreased to 6% 1 year after surgery. Due to the higher prevalence of thiamine deficiency in the early post-operative phase, close monitoring during this period is recommended. A similar strategy should be implemented for pregnant women with history of bariatric surgery in their first trimester.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is commonly used in patients with body mass indexes over 35 kg/m and obesity-related comorbidities. Despite the significant clinical benefits of bariatric surgery, nutritional deficiencies post-surgery remain a challenge for both patient and healthcare provider [Toninello et al. in Nutrients 13:1565, 2021, Gasmi et al. in Eur J Nutr 61:55-67, 2022]. Nutritional supplementation is a way of reducing the likelihood of postoperative deficiencies; however, prior studies have shown varying degrees of mostly poor to moderate patient adherence [Spetz et al. in Obes Res Clin Pract 16:407-412, 2022, Mahawar et al. in Obes Surg 29:1551-1556, 2019, Santonicola et al. in J Am Nutr Assoc 41:11-19, 2022, Sherf Dagan et al. in Obes Surg 27:2258-2271, 2017]. Our present study aims to provide insights into the micronutrient biochemical profile in patients previously found to be compliant with supplementation following roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). METHODS An 11-point outpatient survey was administered to consecutive patients ≥ 18 years who had undergone either RYGB or VSG to determine adherence with nutritional supplementation. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to determine preoperative and postoperative lab values, including vitamins A, B1, B12, and D, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), iron binding capacity, transferrin, ferritin, folate, iron, albumin, hemoglobin A1C, zinc, glomerular filtration rate (GFR, and liver function values. Values were classified as "abnormal" or "normal." Preoperative and postoperative values were compared for differences. Postoperative values were also compared between RYGB and VSG. RESULTS There were no significant differences between preoperative and postoperative values for any nutritional marker aside from vitamin B12. A total of 51/60 patients (85.0%) had normal preoperative B12 measurements, compared with 40/65 (61.5%) patients postoperatively (P = 0.03). Notably, of 25 "abnormal" postoperative measurements, 20 (80%) were elevated values. There were no differences in postoperative deficiencies between RYGB and VSG. CONCLUSIONS Patients in our sample did not have worsened micronutrient deficiencies following bariatric surgery, and there were no differences in micronutrient deficiencies between surgical technique.

Abstract
Background Obesity is one of the most important public health conditions in the world, and surgical intervention is the only medical treatment recognized by the medical community as a complete and permanent cure for morbid obesity and its complications. The choice of surgical modality is also based more on the experience of the physician or the requirements of people with obesity, rather than on scientific data. In this issue, a thorough comparison of the nutritional deficiencies caused by the three most commonly used surgical modalities is needed. Objectives We aimed to use the network meta-analysis to compare the nutritional deficiencies caused by the three most common BS procedures in many subjects who underwent BS to help physicians determine the best BS surgical approach to apply to their clinical people with obesity. Setting A systematic review and network meta-analysis of world literature. Methods We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, systematically reviewed the literature, and conducted a network meta-analysis using R Studio. Results For the four vitamins calcium, vitamin B12, iron and vitamin D, the micronutrient deficiency caused by RYGB is the most serious. Conclusions RYGB causes slightly higher nutritional deficiencies in Bariatric surgery, but RYGB remains the most commonly used modality for Bariatric surgery.

Associations of age, sex, and socioeconomic status with adherence to guideline recommendations on protein intake and micronutrient supplementation in patients with sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with bariatric surgery often show poor long-term compliance to recommendations for prevention of nutrient deficiency but it is unclear which factors contribute. We investigated the associations of age, sex, and socioeconomic status (SES) with adherence to guideline recommendations on protein intake and micronutrient supplementation. METHODS In a monocentric cross-sectional study we prospectively recruited patients with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and a minimum postoperative period of 6 months. Clinical and demographic data were obtained from the patients' medical files and by questionnaire. Patients reported on supplement usage, recorded their dietary intake for seven days and underwent physical examinations including blood testing. RESULTS We included 35 patients (SG: n = 25, RYGB: n = 10) with a mean (+SD) postoperative period of 20.2 (±10.4) months. Distributions of age, sex and SES were comparable between the SG and RYGB groups. Non-adherence to recommended protein intake was associated with age ≥ 50 years (p = 0.041) but not sex or SES. Protein intake inversely correlated with markers of obesity. There were no significant associations of age or sex with micronutrient supplementation. Only for vitamins A (p = 0.049) and B1 (p = 0.047) higher SES was associated with greater compliance. The only manifest deficiency associated with non-adherence to micronutrient supplementation was that for folic acid (p = 0.044). CONCLUSION In patients after bariatric surgery, those of older age and of lower SES might have a greater risk of unfavorable outcome and may require greater attention to micronutrient and protein supplementation.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment in reducing weight and the burden of comorbidities in patients with severe obesity. Despite the overall low mortality rate, intra- and post-operative complications remains quite common. Weight loss before BS reduces surgical risk, but studies are inconclusive regarding which is the best approach to apply. In this review, we summarize the current evidence on the effect of a ketogenic diet (KD) before BS. All studies agree that KD leads to considerable weight loss and important improvements in terms of surgical risk, but populations, interventions and outcomes are very heterogeneous. KD appears to be a safe and effective approach to induce weight loss before BS. However, randomized controlled trials with better-defined dietary protocols and homogeneous outcomes are necessary in order to draw firm conclusions.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery or weight loss surgery has been in practice for achieving significant weight loss in patients who have failed to achieve weight loss after pharmacological interventions. The rising cases of obesity are a triggering factor for more bariatric surgeries worldwide. Interestingly, sustained weight loss achieved post-bariatric surgery offers metabolic advantages, and patients show improved glucose and lipid metabolisms. Bariatric surgery is directly linked to higher incidences of vitamin, mineral, and trace element deficiencies, thus making patients susceptible to anemia, osteoporosis, and cardiomyopathy. Reduced nutrient absorption capacity, dietary changes, dietary restriction, and altered gastrointestinal tract morphology are some reasons for nutritional deficiency observed in post-bariatric surgery procedures. Micro-and-macronutrient deficiency observed in patients during the postoperative phase requires continuous monitoring of nutritional parameters. Therefore, adequate multivitamin and mineral supplements become essential to prevent/overcome micronutrient deficiencies. Bariatric surgery also raises the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) babies. Hence, a 12 - 24 months gap is recommended between bariatric surgery and pregnancy to achieve desired weight loss targets. The topic of this review is the impact of bariatric surgery procedures on vitamin and mineral absorption and the role of dietary supplements in maintaining a healthy nutritional balance during the postoperative phase.

Fat-Free Mass and Skeletal Muscle Mass Gain Are Associated with Diabetes Remission after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Males but Not in Females. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19020978. [PMID: 35055799 PMCID: PMC8776008 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19020978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Besides massive body weight loss, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes massive lean mass, including fat-free mass (FFM) and skeletal muscle mass (SM) that present higher metabolic rates in males. This study examines sex differences in FFM and SM changes of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission at 12 months post-LSG. This cohort study recruited 119 patients (53.7% females) with T2D and obesity (body mass index 42.2 ± 7.0 kg/m2) who underwent LSG. Fat-mass (FM) loss was higher in males than in females (−12.8 ± 6.2% vs. −9.9 ± 5.0%, p = 0.02) after one-year post-operation. Regardless of the weight-loss difference, males had higher FFM and SM gain than did females (12.8 ± 8.0 vs. 9.9 ± 5.0% p = 0.02 and 6.5 ± 4.3% vs. 4.9 ± 6.2%, p = 0.03, respectively). Positive correlations of triglyceride reduction with FM loss (r = 0.47, p = 0.01) and SM gain (r = 0.44, p = 0.02) over 12 months post-operation were observed in males who achieved T2D remission. The T2D remission rate significantly increased 16% and 26% for each additional percentage of FFM and SM gain one year after LSG, which only happened in males. Increased FFM and SM were remarkably associated with T2D remission in males, but evidence lacks for females.
