Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most popular bariatric operation worldwide with the supposed idea of a less complex operation with an unaltered intestinal tract and fewer expected nutritional deficiencies. SG requires supplementation in all cases. There is no universal supplementation, and every case should be analyzed. The main focus is the prevention and treatment of anemia, vitamin B1 deficiency, and protein supplementation. Patients must be aware of the costs and future expenses with supplementation.
