# Pre-Bariatric Surgery Comprehensive Profile

> This test measures levels of vitamins, minerals, blood sugar, and markers of organ function in your blood. It is primarily used to establish a health baseline before weight loss surgery, ensuring your body has the necessary nutrients for recovery. This helps show whether you have existing nutritional deficiencies or metabolic issues that should be addressed prior to the procedure. While it identifies current health status, this test does not predict surgical outcomes or diagnose the specific cause of weight gain.
