The VSG "open note" quiz
Ok. Things have been a bit tense around here. It has been on my mind to create a quiz, mainly for newbies. It is open note and will not include answers. Your goal is to use the search function OR this forum (many pages here with answers) or google. Have fun!
1. What is a Bougie?
2. What is the Pyloric Valve and what does it do?
3. What hormone is greatly reduced by the VSG?
4. What is a "true stall"? Why does it occur?
5. Why does hair loss occur? Is it preventable?
6. Why is protein so important post op?
7. Why do we need 64oz of water post op?
8. What vitamin deficiency is common in Gastrectomny patients?
9. Partial Gastrectomnies have been performed since the late 1800's for what diseases?
10. How does exercise aid in weight loss?
Keep it fun folks!
The more you know the better off you will be in the long run!

Please don't take offense. I googled gastrectomies and vitamin deficiencies and got the answer in a matter of seconds.

Other complications
Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the small intestine with the aid of a stomach secretion called intrinsic factor. Loss of intrinsic factor results in a vitamin B12 deficiency in patients with a gastrectomy. Patients that have had a gastrectomy will generally require regular vitamin B12 shots. Oral vitamin B12 may be given as an alternative. Oral vitamin B12 with intrinsic factor will probably be absorbed better than oral vitamin B12 alone, however it is not clear if the additional vitamin B12 that a patient would absorb by taking the combination is actually required. Your doctor can order blood tests to make sure that you are getting adequate levels of vitamin B12.
Supplements with iron, folate and calcium may also be required.
