In the first, third, sixth and twelfth months after the surgery, please have the following examinations and share with us.

  • Whole Blood
    • Blood Biochemistry (glucose, ure, uric acid, liver enzymes, albumin, BUN, lipids)
    • Total Protein
    • Ferritin
    • Vitamin B12
    • Iron
    • Iron Binding Capacity
    • Vitamin D (hydroxyvitamin D)
    • Minerals (zinc, potassium etc.) [Since minerals cannot be analyzed in some laboratories, we request mineral analysis if at all possible.]

Attention: The above-mentioned examinations should be done completely.

 

  • The twelfth month examination should include also an abdominal ultrasound to examine the gallbladder.
    • Since your diet change completely after the bariatric surgery, gallbladder sludge and gallstones can be observed in the bile.

 

We will remind you about the examinations. However, even if we don’t remind you of these, please have these examinations and share with us.
