Note that when an article refers to "bariatric surgery" or "weight loss surgery" in the general sense - not specifying any particular procedure, they are typically referring to the RNY gastric bypass, as that is, or has been, the most common procedure over the past 20-30 years (and particularly in Canada and other countries that may have been slower to adopt newer procedures). If you have a different procedure, the article may or may not apply to you.

The warning may still be valid - changes in diet after surgery may result in deficiencies even of the procedure that you have doesn't have any inherent relevant malabsorption - and the advice may still be sound - keep up with labs and maintain appropriate supplements, even if they may be different from what is anticipated in the article.
