Will I have to take pills for life after the obesity surgery?

In some cases you will. The most malabsorptive surgeries will cause more weight loss, but they will also decrease nutrient absorption. In these cases you have to take supplements for life like vitamins and minerals. If the surgery restricts only the amount of food you can eat, it is usually enough to take supplements for some time.

After the surgery can I expect my health problems to disappear?
