Conditions

• Complications of Bariatric Procedures
• Avitaminosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Chewable Multivitamin with Iron	Take daily: Chewable Multivitamin with Iron. The chewable vitamins, vitamin chew, or vitamin rapid/quick-melts can be consumed after surgery when cleared by the surgeon.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium Patch	Wear daily: PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium patch. The patch can be worn immediately after surgery in order to prevent deficiencies, and we hope to show that this supplementation method can also promote lean muscle mass retention. In addition, due to the malabsorptive properties of bariatric surgery, we hope to show that patients will be more likely to completely absorb the micronutrient via transdermal application than through oral intake.
