I've seen the surgeon check CMP, CBC, lipids, B1, B6, B12, folate, 25(OH) Vit D pre-op. This is what we have requested for post-op too. This is for all LAGB, RYGB, and SG.

For our gastic bypass and roux-en-y patients:

If a patient is taking a MVI or Iron supplement before surgery does anyone recommend them to hold iron until 2 weeks post-operative for risk of infection and slow healing??
