Study Summary

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.

Primary Outcome

To determine if there is a significant difference in mean serum vitamin D levels in the group of subjects taking the standard vitamin D protocol compared to subjects taking the standard vitamin D protocol with added monthly high dose cholecalciferol after bariatric surgery. This outcome measure is done by analysis of serum 25-OH vitamin D levels.
