The Short-Term Impact of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Bone Health
This study demonstrates that BMD decreases drastically after SG, and bone loss is more pronounced at the hip and femoral neck sites 12 months after surgery than at the lumber spine. Regular follow-ups, including BMD measurements, are recommended after bariatric surgery, at least once a year.
