The postgraduate certificate was created to take the professional through the essential knowledge in each and every one of the areas that make up a high-level Bariatric Unit"

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions on a global scale in recent years. According to WHO data, there are more than 650 million obese people in the world, and every year 2.8 million people die from this cause worldwide. This has led to an increase in the number of bariatric surgeries performed in the world every year. 

Although bariatric surgery achieves significant weight loss and leads to improvement or even resolution of most of the comorbidities associated with obesity, these patients should be subjected to strict postoperative nutritional monitoring. 

In the postoperative period of any bariatric procedure, nutritional deficiencies may appear, which should be detected early and adequately corrected. However, the risk of developing nutritional deficits is not the same in all patients and, therefore, supplementation and monitoring must be individualized according to the surgical technique performed and patient characteristics. 

There are certain population groups that should be considered independently in nutritional assessment and supplementation, such as children and adolescents, the elderly, and pregnant, lactating or postmenopausal women. Likewise, certain specific conditions that may appear in the postoperative period must be taken into consideration, such as anemia, protein malnutrition or even the appearance of neurological pathologies secondary to nutritional deficits.
