Does Bariatric Surgery Affect Pregnancy in Women in the Childbearing Period? A Retrospective Single Center Study
Bariatric surgery may improve the fertility rates. However, pregnancies after surgery may result in potential complications particularly if the pregnancy occurs early during the first year and delayed after 2 years from surgery. Lack of adequate multidisciplinary follow-up and specific prenatal program for women after bariatric surgery increases the risk of gestational complications and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes.
