BACKGROUND: Due to its reliable effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has recently been investigated as a treatment option for nonseverely obese patients with T2DM (body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m(2)). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether RGYB induces malnutrition of macro- and micronutrients within 24 months in these patients. METHODS: A prospective cohort of 20 patients with longstanding, insulin-dependent T2DM and a BMI of 25-35 kg/m(2) were treated with RYGB. The patients were supplemented with over-the-counter, multivitamin, and micronutrient supplements. Serum concentrations of albumin, vitamins, and trace elements, hemoglobin, and bone density were measured preoperatively and over a 24-month period (DRKS00004605). RESULTS: RYGB did not result in underweight or protein malnutrition. No new onset of deficiencies of water- or fat-soluble vitamins developed over the study period. However, serum selenium, zinc, and ferritin decreased significantly (selenium, 1.17 ± 0.13 to 0.89 ± 0.11 μmol/l, p = 0.018; zinc, 13.9 ± 0.5 to 10.8 ± 0.5 μmol/l, p = 0.012; ferritin, 171.7 ± 26.9 to 31.8 ± 11.2 μg/l, p = 0.018). Hemoglobin remained stable. Vitamin D (13.7 ± 1.8 to 19.1 ± 1.1 ng/ml, p = 0.017) and osteocalcin (15.3 ± 1.7 to 25.4 ± 2.7 ng/ml, p = 0.025) rose significantly, whereas the parathyroid hormone remained stable. Despite increased bone formation, bone density decreased (T score hip, 0.15 ± 0.25 to -0.71 ± 0.34, p = 0.005) resulting in a significant increase in osteopenia rates (18 to 50 %, p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first prospective cohort to investigate malnutrition after RYGB in nonseverely obese patients. These patients are at risk of developing iron, selenium, and zinc deficiencies within 24 months, as well as osteopenia despite an increase in bone formation.
