Always consult your bariatric team
Bariatric surgery is a major medical procedure with significant lifelong implications. Individual outcomes, dietary requirements, supplement needs, exercise restrictions, and recovery timelines vary considerably based on your specific surgery type, your individual health conditions and medications, your team’s clinical protocols, and your personal response to surgery.
Always follow the specific guidance of your bariatric surgical team, dietitian, and GP. Where information on this site differs from what your team has told you, follow your team’s advice.
Our interactive tools
The calculators, trackers, and planners on this website including the BMI Calculator, Protein Calculator, Vitamin Tracker, Weight Tracker, Fluid Tracker, Lab Result Decoder, and others are designed as educational aids only.
- Reference ranges are based on published bariatric guidelines (ASMBS 2020, BOMSS, IFSO 2023) but may not reflect the most current clinical recommendations
- They do not account for your individual medical history, medications, or clinical test results
- Results should be discussed with your bariatric team before making any changes to your diet, supplement regime, or medication
The Lab Result Decoder in particular does not replace clinical interpretation of blood results by a qualified healthcare professional.
