1. Anemia, metabolic bone disease, and vitamin B12 deficiency.

Rationale: Following restrictive surgery for weight loss, it is important to remind the client to continue to take the recommended vitamin and mineral supplements prescribed to avoid anemia, metabolic bone disease, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Type II diabetes is less likely to develop since it is usually related to obesity. Hypertension is usually improved with weight loss. Hyperlipidemia should improve since client's follow a low-fat diet after surgery.
