Post-Bariatric Surgery Blood Monitoring
Gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric band operations are not followed up by the NHS long-term. Many patients are discharged from specialist services within 1–2 years and left without the regular blood tests they need for life. We provide this monitoring directly — no GP referral required.
Why this matters: Bariatric surgery permanently changes how your body absorbs nutrients. Deficiencies in iron, B12, vitamin D, calcium and other micronutrients can develop silently — causing anaemia, bone loss, nerve damage and fatigue. Regular blood tests are clinically essential, not optional.
| Surgery type & time point | Key markers checked |
|---|---|
| Bypass / Sleeve 3 months post-op | FBC · Iron & ferritin · B12 · Folate · Vitamin D · Calcium Liver & kidney function · HbA1c · Lipids · Thiamine |
| Bypass / Sleeve 6 months post-op | As above, plus PTH · Magnesium · Phosphate · Zinc · Albumin |
| Bypass / Sleeve 12 months & annual | Full 6-month panel, plus Copper · Selenium · CRP. Annual testing continues for life. |
| Gastric Band 6 months & annual | FBC · Iron · B12 · Folate · Vitamin D · Calcium · Liver & kidney function. Annual panel extended to include PTH · Zinc · Magnesium · Lipids. |
Full monitoring schedules, BOMSS guidelines and complete test lists are on our dedicated Post-Bariatric Blood Monitoring page. Prices start from £150 per check-up. Please contact us or mention it at booking and we will confirm exactly which tests are needed based on your surgery type and how long ago it was performed.
