Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) after a duodenal switch procedure: a case report.
Obesity Surgery 2010 March
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) after bariatric surgery is a well-documented complication. Clinical signs of VAD deficiency are significant if the vitamin A level is below 100 mug/L (4 mumol/L). Main symptom of VAD is nyctalopia. It has been described in several reports after malabsorptive bariatric procedures.

The case illustrates the necessity of lifelong vitamin supplementation after malabsorptive bariatric operations.
