B12 helps convert one compound (homocysteine) into another (methionine), which the body uses to create materials necessary for repair and cellular signaling
Nutritional status : following BOMSS (British Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society) guidance, check full blood count, ferritin/iron studies, vitamin B12, folate, thiamine (B1), vitamin D, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), zinc/copper if symptomatic, and protein levels, as bariatric surgery patients are at heightened risk of deficiencies
Regarding hypoglycaemia: as with other incretin-based therapies, the risk of low blood glucose with retatrutide alone is considered low, given its glucose-dependent mechanism of action
