“…This rate was nearly 40% in our study. Fertility is an important reason for women to undergo bariatric surgery [21]. Thus, such patients will probably not decide to terminate the pregnancy in spite of the risks.…”

Background/aim: Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is an issue of growing importance with increasing number of women undergoing bariatric surgery. Therefore, in this study we present patients who conceived after sleeve gastrectomy and evaluate the obstetric outcomes. Materials and methods: This retrospective case-control study includes 23 women who conceived after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were evaluated in two groups according to the number of months between surgery and conception (group 1: ≤12 months; group 2: >12 months). Results: The mean body mass index of patients before surgery and at the time of conception was 46.6 kg/m 2 and 29.7 kg/m 2 , respectively. Nine patients (39.1%) had a history of infertility. There was no statistical difference between groups 1 and 2 for haemoglobin, ferritin, and 25-OH Vit-D levels or maternofoetal complication rates and pregnancy outcomes. Enteral nutrition requirements and intravenous iron replacement needs were higher in group 1, although this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pregnancy in the first years after sleeve gastrectomy seems to have similar obstetric outcomes compared to pregnancies occurring later, but it remains a controversial issue. Although the results did not have statistical significance in our study, well-designed prospective series may determine the role of enteral nutrition and intravenous iron replacement in patient management.

“…(3,5,13,14) Estudos mostram que a melhora da fertilidade é um dos motivos pelo qual muitas mulheres que apresentam obesidade mórbida optam por realizar o tratamento cirúrgico. (15,16) Apesar de todos os benefícios observados na saúde reprodutiva após a cirurgia bariátrica, existe a possibilidade de inadequação contraceptiva com o uso de anticoncepcionais orais após procedimentos em que existe má absorção. (3) A literatura é carente de dados de segurança e eficácia dos contraceptivos orais em pacientes submetidas a cirurgia bariátrica e acredita-se que as alterações no trato gastrointestinal podem comprometer a absorção dessas drogas.…”
