Probiotics improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery: a prospective randomized trial.
J Gastrointest Surg. 2009; (7): 1198-204

Gastric bypass may alter gastrointestinal (GI) flora possibly resulting in bacterial overgrowth and dysmotility. Our hypothesis was that daily use of probiotics would improve GI outcomes after RNYGB.
