    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery effectively aids weight loss in morbidly obese patients but alters nutrient absorption, impacting calcium and vitamin D status.

  • 2

    Post-surgery, parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels often rise, with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) remaining common despite calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

  • 3

    The study aimed to evaluate PTH and SHPT development over five years post-surgery, focusing on the relationship with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.

  • 4

    Patients with higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (≥ 50 nmol/l) may experience a lower prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism after surgery.

  • 5

    Long-term monitoring of calcium and vitamin D status is crucial for managing bone health and preventing complications in post-bariatric surgery patients.
