The aim of this study is to assess medication adherence to vitamin- and mineral supplementation after bariatric surgery, identify factors that may influence adherence, as well as study the development of micronutrient deficinencies detectable by blood sampling. All study participants are prescribed life-long treatment with daily oral vitamin B12 and Calcium/Vitamin-D. Menstruating women are also prescribed daily oral iron supplementation. Post-operative adherence rate is retrieved from pharmacy refill data, collected from The Swedish Prescribed Drug Register, at one, two and five years after bariatric surgery.
