Hypocalcemia as a Complication of Jejunoileal Bypass for Morbid Obesity

Abstract
Hypocalcemia following jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity is not an uncommon occurrence. Three cases of severe hypocalcemia after bypass operation are presented with emphasis on the altered physiology of calcium homeostasis. Recognition and treatment of bypass hypocalcemia can avert a potentially serious complication.
