PREGNANCY AFTER WEIGHT LOSS (BARIATIC) SURGERY

 

IN the modern world obesity is one of the biggest problems. However the medical world has found a solution to it. They perform special types of surgical procedures to overcome this. These are called Bariatric surgery. There are 3 such operations, gastric banding, Ry gastric bypass, and Gastric sleeve by pass. After these women can lose up to 38 kgms. Eating decreases extra care is required to keep the nutrition good. Fertility, PCOS blood pressure, and diabetes improves .Women should wait for12 to18 months after bariatric surgery before getting pregnant. This time is necessary for them to establish their weight loss and nutrition.

During pregnancy the risk for preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, decrease. However risk of hyperemesis, intestinal obstruction, internal hernias, and cholelithiasis increases. Often an adjustment to gastric banding is required. There is risk of premature labor, lower risk of forceps delivery, caesarian section, epidural anesthesia labor dystocia, fetal distress, peripartum[Ma1]   sphincter injury , large babies ,and post-partum bleeding on the fetal side there is no  increase in fetal malformation , neonatal intensive care admissions neonatal  deaths and stillbirths increased.  

During pregnancy special care is required both for mother’s nutrition and growth of the baby. The pregnancy complications are minimized however they are not completely eliminated. Normal pregnancy tests are all performed, glucose tolerance test is modified. In women after bariatric surgery threshold for diagnosis of GDM is a fasting more than5.3mmol/L, one hour after a meal7.8mmols/L 2hours more than 6.7 mmol/L is considered as GDM.

 This subject needs to be studied a bit more by all concerned surgeons for new techniques ,nutrionalists[Ma2]  and above all obstetrician who need to manage these women .
