Effect of a Monthly High Dose of Vitamin D3 on Bariatric Surgery Patients

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Morbid Obesity, Vitamin D Deficiency

In brief

Bariatric surgery patients tend to have malabsorption of many micronutrients such as B12, Iron and vitamin D postoperative. So in this study, a monthly high dose of vitamin D3 is giving to patients with their routine supplements and followed up for 6 months. Hypothesis:Bariatric surgery subjects taking monthly high dose cholecalciferol supplements in addition to the standard vitamin D protocol will have a significant rise in serum vitamin D levels compared to the subjects taking only the usual vitamin D protocol.
