Pregnancy Less Than 1 Year After the Bariatric Surgery: Is It Really Safe?

Pregnancy and post-partum outcomes of obese women after bariatric surgery: A case-control study

“…The weight stabilizes during the second year after surgery, thus achieving a pregnancy without significant adverse outcomes is possible. In addition, in the first three months after BS several complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, anastomosis dehiscence, bowel obstruction, and infections have been described [33,34]. In our study, the median interval time between BS and pregnancy was 44 months and only patients having BS between one and 5 years before pregnancy were included.…”

Although women who underwent BS may be at a higher risk for malabsorption and poor dietary intake, the available evidence shows that breast milk after BS is adequate in nutrients [33,35]. A recent systematic review support breastfeeding after BS provided that adequate monitoring and eventual supplementation are carried out [23].…”

A Retrospective Evaluation of Pregnancy Outcomes Following Bariatric Surgery: A Single-Center Experience

“…In addition, several studies have shown no association between interval time and adverse pregnancy or neonatal outcome and delaying pregnancy time does not appear to have any greater benefit. 21,[38][39][40] The present study compared pregnancy results two years after surgery with pregnancy after two years. We also found that the incidence of pregnancy complications and the newborn's birth weight were not statistically significant between the two groups.…”
