Post-Bariatric Surgery Peripheral Neuropathy
Quick Answer: Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, sleeve) can cause peripheral neuropathy from B12, B1 (thiamine), and copper deficiencies. Lifelong vitamin supplementation is essential — annual labs catch deficiencies early.
Prevention
Daily multivitamin + B12 supplements. Annual labs for B12, B1, copper, iron, and folate. Treat deficiencies promptly.
