Family planning, reproductive health and pregnancy after bariatric surgery: a survey of bariatric healthcare professionals in Switzerland

Therefore, a stronger collaboration between bariatric professionals and women's healthcare providers is needed to improve care of female bariatric patients of reproductive age.
