Mid-term Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Calcium Metabolism Parameters, Vitamin D and Parathormone (PTH) in Morbid Obese Women

Conclusions  Postoperative values of vitamin D show a progressive increasement, while PTH ones present a significant reduction, without

at the third month after surgery.
