Will malabsorption and osteoporosis be a concern as I age if I have a bypass?
Osteoporosis risks do slightly increase in older individuals who have had a gastric bypass when compared to people who have never had a bypass surgery. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s significant enough to not have the surgery when compared to the wealth of benefits the surgery provides.
