Pre- and post-weight loss surgery IV therapy helps prevent nutritional deficiencies, support healing, and protect long-term metabolic health.
Preventing Nutritional Deficiencies Before and After Bariatric Surgery
It is highly advisable to receive high-dose IV vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and trace minerals prior to and after surgery.
These nutrients, given intravenously, will support your immune system and facilitate a rapid recovery post-surgery. Dr. Lalezar suggests the IV be given one week prior to and one week after surgery.
For patients undergoing lap band, gastric sleeve, or gastric bypass, it is advisable to receive the Vitality drip once a month to avoid nutritional deficiencies and hair loss.
Providing your cells with proper nutrients will also reduce your sugar cravings and desire to eat unnecessary food. IV nutrient therapies bypass the gut and are directly absorbed into your cells. This means they don’t need to be digested by your gut.
