o1/5/2017 admitted for Roux-
En-Y gastric bypass for morbid
obesity
Disease Overview
Roux-En-Y procedure
The Roux-En-Y gastric
bypass procedure involves
creating a stomach pouch
out of a small portion of the
stomach and attaching it
directly to the jejunum,
bypassing a large part of the
stomach and duodenum.1
Not only is the stomach
pouch too small to hold
large amounts of food, but
by skipping the duodenum,
fat absorption is
substantially reduced 1

Roux-En-Y nutrition status
Protein
Deficiency related to decreased intake
Aim for 60 g to 80 g per day6
Calcium
Deficiency related to bypassing site of primary absorption
(duodenum and proximal jejunum)
Supplement with 1,200-1,500 mg calcium citrate6
Iron
Deficiency related to bypassing site of primary absorption
(duodenum and proximal jejunum)
Supplement with 18 to 27 mg/d of elemental iron 6
Roux-En-Y nutrition status
Vitamin B12
Deficiency related to inadequate contact with intrinsic factor,
decreased gastric acid and low intake of foods rich in Vitamin B12
Physician should monitor B12 and prescribe supplementation as
needed6
Folate

Suggest daily MVI6
Vitamin D-3
Deficiency related to decreased amount of gastric acid
