Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

Adherence to Multivitamin Use Following Bariatric Surgery for Weight Loss

Additional micronutrient supplementation is required due to the changes in the
gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology following bariatric surgery along with decreased
dietary intake and rapid weight loss. Good adherence to post-operative vitamins is essential
to maintain healthy vitamin levels in the body following bariatric surgery. The hypothesis of
this study is that patients receiving a weekly survey intervention will have better adherence
to post-operative vitamins than a control group not receiving the survey.
