Vitamin C and thiamin deficiency are rare conditions in industrialized countries. Patients undergoing AGB removal (90% for dysphagia) from 2021 to 2023 (laparoscopic 15 and robotic 5) were tested for vitamin C and thiamin levels. Twenty patients (8 m\/12 f median aged 56 (range 33.6-79.4) were included. BMI at AGB removal was 39.7 (range 24.4-50.1) kg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    .

Only 25% of patients had normal vitamin C levels, 40% had low levels, 25% were deficient, and 10% were critically low. One third of patients had HbA1c levels between 5.8 and 6.4 and 22% had levels &gt;6.5; 60% of patients had hyperlipidemia.
