We aimed to assess the impact of bariatric surgery on micronutrients in post-bariatric pregnancy and possible differences between gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy. ## Methods In this prospective case control study, we recruited 204 pregnant women (bariatric surgery __n__ = 59 [gastric bypass surgery __n__ = 26, sleeve gastrectomy __n__ = 31, missing __n__ = 2] and controls __n__ = 145) from Akershus university hospital in Norway. Women with previous bariatric surgery were consecutively invited to study participation at referral to the clinic for morbid obesity and the controls were recruited from the routine ultrasound screening in gestational week 17–20.
