Since your bariatric surgery you may be feeling and looking great!  However, without appropriate post-surgical aftercare you may develop some underlying issues you don't even know about.  This is why it is imperative you receive continued follow-up and lab values by a Bariatric Specialist.

Research has shown that many post-weight loss surgery patients aren’t as good about taking their vitamins as they should and therefore their nutritional status is compromised. The recommendations for checking specific lab values for a post-operative weight loss patient is at least once a year.

Have you had a bone density test done recently? This tests checks your risk of developing osteoporosis. Since you had gastric bypass a certain amount of malabsorbtion occurs with some minerals and vitamins. Calcium is one of them. It is important to have this also checked annually.
