There were no differences in Lt4 dose and its variation between restrictive and malabsorptive techniques 1 year after surgery. Malabsorptive procedures may not affect Lt4 absorption differently from restrictive ones. Bariatric surgery type was not predictive of Lt4 dose changes. BMI variation is associated with relative Lt4 dose (dose per weight) variation and its association was independent of bariatric surgery type.
