Narrative review highlights individualized nutrition support for post-bariatric patients with malabsorption, suggesting future advances in personalized medicine.
Bariatric surgery remains a highly effective treatment for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, but long‐term nutrition management poses significant challenges for a small minority of post–bariatric surgery patients. Patients may require specialized nutrition support, including exclusive parenteral nutrition or enteral nutrition, owing to complications such as malabsorption, perforated ulceration, or severe nutrient deficiencies. This narrative review outlines the best practices for assessing, implementing, and monitoring exclusive parenteral nutrition or enteral nutrition in postbariatric patients, emphasizing individualized care and the management of psychosocial factors such as weight stigma. The article highlights future directions in technology and personalized medicine to optimize outcomes in this complex population.
