Pregnancy and Birth Complications Following Bariatric Surgery
Received Date: Dec 02, 2024 / Published Date: Dec 30, 2024
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, significantly improving weight loss and reducing obesityrelated comorbidities. However, its impact on pregnancy and birth outcomes remains a subject of ongoing research. This review explores the complications and challenges faced by women who undergo bariatric surgery, specifically focusing on pregnancy and birth outcomes. We examine the effects of pre-surgery obesity, the type of bariatric procedure performed, and the timing of surgery relative to pregnancy. The findings suggest that while bariatric surgery can improve pregnancy outcomes by reducing risks associated with obesity, complications such as nutritional deficiencies, gestational diabetes, and preterm labour are prevalent. Furthermore, this article discusses the importance of pre-pregnancy counselling, nutritional monitoring, and multidisciplinary care for these patients.
