Editorial: Nutrition for Sustainable Weight Management Post-Bariatric Surgery
The editorial introduces a Frontiers Nutrition research collection examining how nutrition, metabolic monitoring, and personalized care can sustain weight loss after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). It highlights four studies: a review advocating multimodal strategies—including diet, GLP‑1 agonists, and revisional procedures—to curb weight regain; a multicenter cohort linking pre‑operative anemia to higher odds of postoperative anemia and iron deficiency; a prospective analysis identifying low serum leucine as a predictor of post‑sleeve‑gastrectomy alopecia; and a narrative review proposing precision‑medicine tools that blend genetics and psychosocial profiling for tailored follow‑up. Collectively, the papers argue for a shift from surgery‑centric to holistic, long‑term management of bariatric patients.
