Résumé
Bariatric surgery (BS) is a pillar for the treatment of morbid obesity and its related comorbidities. However, it might be associated with long-term deficiencies and absorption issues. Adherence to micronutrient supplementation is a crucial aspect in the management of these patients. The aim of the present survey was to evaluate the adherence to micronutrient supplementation in a cohort of Italian patients submitted to BS (BS patients) and to identify predictors of adherence using a self-administered, anonymous, internet-based instrument. Patients who underwent BS over the last decade in a single center were invited to participate to a self-administered, anonymous, internet-based survey consisting of a 23 items structured questionnaire evaluating: a. demographic information b. Bariatric procedures performed; c. Indication to BS; d. Lapse of time since last BS, e. Frequency of follow up visits post-surgery, f. Perception of well-being post BS; g. Adherence to micronutrient supplementation; h. Changes in their quality of life and self-esteem. We received an automatic notification of delivery from 1100 out of 1600 BS patients and 290 (81.4% female, mean age 39.5 ± 10.1 years) completed the questionnaire. The main reported bariatric procedures were: Sleeve Gastrectomy (59%), Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (31%) and Adjustable Gastric Banding (7.2%). Only 33.1% of the sample acknowledged to have taken all recommended medication regularly. BS patients who underwent malabsorptive procedures and had their last follow up visit more than 5 years earlier, had a higher risk of being nonadherent to micronutrient supplementation. Conversely, BS patients in their forties seemed more likely to adhere to treatment recommendations. Losing more weight was the only independent risk factors for nonadherence to micronutrient supplementation, independently from patient's perception of wellbeing. After BS, several clinical and psychosocial factors might predict nonadherence to micronutrient supplementation.

BACKGROUND AND AIM
Bariatric surgery (BS) is a pillar for the treatment of morbid obesity and its related comorbidities. However, it might be associated with long-term deficiencies and absorption issues. Adherence to micronutrient supplementation is a crucial aspect in the management of these patients.
AIM
The aim of the present survey was to evaluate the adherence to micronutrient supplementation in a cohort of Italian patients submitted to BS (BS patients) and to identify predictors of adherence using a self-administered, anonymous, internet-based instrument.
METHODS
Patients who underwent BS over the last decade in a single center were invited to participate to a self-administered, anonymous, internet-based survey consisting of a 23 items structured questionnaire evaluating: a. demographic information b. Bariatric procedures performed; c. Indication to BS; d. Lapse of time since last BS, e. Frequency of follow up visits post-surgery, f. Perception of well-being post BS; g. Adherence to micronutrient supplementation; h. Changes in their quality of life and self-esteem.
RESULTS
We received an automatic notification of delivery from 1100 out of 1600 BS patients and 290 (81.4% female, mean age 39.5 ± 10.1 years) completed the questionnaire. The main reported bariatric procedures were: Sleeve Gastrectomy (59%), Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (31%) and Adjustable Gastric Banding (7.2%). Only 33.1% of the sample acknowledged to have taken all recommended medication regularly. BS patients who underwent malabsorptive procedures and had their last follow up visit more than 5 years earlier, had a higher risk of being nonadherent to micronutrient supplementation. Conversely, BS patients in their forties seemed more likely to adhere to treatment recommendations. Losing more weight was the only independent risk factors for nonadherence to micronutrient supplementation, independently from patient's perception of wellbeing.
CONCLUSION
After BS, several clinical and psychosocial factors might predict nonadherence to micronutrient supplementation.
