Dry beriberi after sleeve gastrectomy

Thiamine deficiency should be suspected in all patients with vomiting, neurological symptoms, and rapid weight loss post-bariatric surgery (BS), even after restrictive surgery. Especially when a patient reports substantial weight loss and vomiting in short order. Hopefully, this case report will make any patient hospitalized with similar conditions evaluated for beriberi and again multivitamin supplementation therapy after SG is emphasized.
