Bariatric surgery is a successful procedure increasingly used for the treatment of obesity with or without the presence of comorbidities. There are several bariatric procedures, which are selected depending on the patient, the recommendation and experience of the physician. Bariatric surgery "per se" generates nutritional deficiencies that must be considered in advance and therefore treated and not obviated. The blind administration of nutritional supplements leads to both deficit and excess, creating short and long term nutritional consequences. The surgeon and his team must go beyond the surgical procedure and consider nutrition as a complementary treatment, which contributes to a better metabolic and nutritional patient's status and therefore a better quality of life.

Keywords : obesity; obesity; morbid; bariatric surgery; nutrition.
