This study aimed to explore the effects of preoperative intravenous isomaltose iron supplementation versus placebo on postoperative Hb improvement, prevention of postoperative anemia, and improvement in quality of life in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Patients in the isomaltan iron group received intravenous isomaltan iron dissolved in 250 ml of normal saline 3 days prior to surgery. The patients' iron requirements were calculated using a simplified scale, with a maximum single dose of 20 mg/kg. If the dose was insufficient in a single administration, a second infusion was required every other week. The placebo group received an equal volume of 0.9% normal saline. Simplified scale: Hemoglobin (g/L) patient weight \<50kg 50-70kg \>70kg ≥100 500mg 1000mg 1500mg \<100 500mg 1500mg 2000mg
At the same time point, the same dose of physiological saline was infused as the experimental group.
