Abstract:
More than 200,000 people underwent obesity surgery in France. Most of them are women. Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is becoming a common situation. This surgery results in major nutritional and gastro-intestinal tract modifications that may influence or be influenced by pregnancy, and yields benefits as well as complications. A multidisciplinary management including a nutritionist, an obstetrician, an anesthesiologist, and a bariatric surgeon is required. The aim of this review is to analyze the impact of bariatric surgery on pregnancy and vice versa, and to identify the key points of this management.
