Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bariatric surgery is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome. While surgical techniques have evolved significantly, achieving optimal and sustained outcomes requires an equally strong focus on nutritional management. Nutritional strategies play a vital role throughout the entire bariatric journey, from preoperative preparation to long-term postoperative care.
This Special Issue of Nutrients aims to highlight the indispensable role of nutrition in enhancing the efficacy, safety, and durability of bariatric procedures. We welcome submissions of original research, narrative and systematic reviews, and clinical case studies that explore preoperative nutritional risk screening, micronutrient deficiencies, postoperative dietary protocols, supplementation strategies, and approaches to long-term weight maintenance and metabolic health. Manuscripts that examine the impacts of behavioral counseling, lifestyle modification, patient education, and individualized nutrition plans are particularly encouraged.
We are especially interested in contributions that address diverse patient populations, cultural dietary considerations, and global perspectives on integrated care models. By advancing our understanding of nutritional science in the context of bariatric surgery, this Special Issue aims to support multidisciplinary efforts that will improve the quality of care and long-term outcomes for patients undergoing these transformative interventions.
