Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) remains the mainstay to diagnose GDM 3. This is not useful amongst those who have undergone bariatric surgery because they had alteration of bowel anatomy and physiology 4. These leads to altered gastro-intestinal transit time and thereby higher risk of dumping syndrome.

Certain basic tests are done prior to bariatric surgery: a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Urinalysis, and a Chemistry Panel, which gives a readout of about 20 blood chemistry values. All patients get a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram. Many surgeons ask for a gallbladder ultrasound to look for gallstones.
