>>> “What has my interest is how stomach surgery can change people’s Type II Diabetes (or metabolic syndrome) into a more normal range. Doesn’t seem to be totally related to weight loss, starts occurring right after the surgery.”

Your reduced stomach can only hold so much, and therefore carb digestion (along with everything else you eat) is reduced comparable to portion size. Right?

Are nutritional supplements prescribed for bariactric patients as well? I know of mandatory BC pills for fertile females, and that’s about the limit of my knowledge.

I’ve never taken care of bariatric surgery patients, so I’m not sure what the supplement protocol is. Probably tailored to each patient’s particular needs, and any deficiencies that may develop.
