[Pregnancy and birth after jejunoileostomy because of adiposity (author's transl)]

Five pregnancies in two patients after jejunoileal bypass because of adiposity are reported. One pregnancy ended with a spontaneous abortion of two dystrophic children one died postpartum after a pregnancy complicated by cholecystectomy, cholangitis and pancreatitis. The extent of postoperative weight loss acquires a certain importance in assessing the risk of dystrophy to the child.
