Vitamin B12 and Bariatric Surgery

Has a friend told you to have your vitamin B-12 level checked or to take vitamin B-12 for your brain?  Did you know it’s important after bariatric surgery too? Vitamin B-12 plays a role in keeping your brain healthy and helping to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a critical nutrient that your body cannot make and it’s very important after bariatric surgery. Let’s talk about why you need it and where to get it.

Joining me on the podcast from Orlando Florida is bariatric clinical dietitian Gayle Brazzi Smith. Gayle is the Bariatric Dietitian for the Bariatric & Laparoscopy Center at Orlando Health. She is committed to a patient-first approach to providing nutrition services to both bariatric inpatients and outpatients in Central Florida.
