Post-Sleeve Assessment
Umm Al Hamam Al Gharbi, Riyadh - 145KM
After undergoing a gastric sleeve surgery (a procedure that reduces the size of the stomach), regular tests remain of great importance for post-surgery health monitoring. Here are some reasons why these tests are necessary:
Monitoring Post-Surgery Progress: After the operation, the structure of the stomach and the digestion process are altered. Regular tests help track how your body is adapting to these changes and to what extent the desired surgical outcomes are being achieved.
Evaluating Nutrition and Nutrient Absorption.
Assessing General Health: Regular tests can help monitor the health of internal organs, such as the liver and kidneys, and ensure there are no sustained health issues after the surgery.
Treatment Adjustment and Follow-Up: There may be a need to modify the prescribed treatment after surgery, such as vitamins and dietary supplements. Tests help assess whether there is a need for adjustments or changes in dosages.
Prevention of Complications.
Providing Support and Guidance.
Achieving Weight Loss Goals.

The SGOT test is a blood test that’s part of a liver profile. It measures one of two liver enzymes, called serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase.

Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your bodys iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
