Core Tip Emerging evidence indicates that bariatric surgery reshapes the gut microbiota in a procedure-specific and time-dependent manner, extending its metabolic benefits beyond anatomical restriction and caloric malabsorption. This minireview synthesizes current clinical and experimental data to highlight surgery-specific microbial signatures, longitudinal remodeling patterns, and key mechanistic links to bile acid signaling, carbohydrate metabolism, and micronutrient handling. By integrating species-level and functional insights, we emphasize existing controversies and translational considerations relevant to optimizing postoperative metabolic outcomes.
