How does it work?
Several things in your body will change after surgery. You can experience different symptoms because (a part of) the GI tract (digestive system; stomach, small intestine) is removed. Examples are food intolerance, abdominal pains, nausea, reflux (heartburns), diarrhea, dumping (feeling unwell after having food or drinks), a change in taste or a reduced appetite.
A decreased vitamin and mineral absorption
Your body will have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients after weight loss or bariatric surgery. The result: a potential vitamins and minerals deficiency especially for Vitamin A, D, B12, Folic Acid, Zinc. WLS Optimum and WLS Forte are both clinically statistically proven more effective in preventing deficiencies after respectively Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, compared to a standard multivitamin*.

The importance of vitamins and minerals
Vitamins and minerals make sure the body functions well. These are essential nutrients that the body cannot create itself, and therefore have to be taken up by consuming foods. If your body cannot absorb these nutrients well (as a result of your surgery), it is important to supplement your food with extra vitamins and minerals.
