Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the outcomes of pregnancy in the reproductive period among patients with previous surgery due to obesity. 14 women who had a live birth after bariatric surgery enrolled in this study. The primary targets were gestational age and birth weights. The median duration of pregnancy was 270 days (minimum 256, maximum 281 days), with 2 patients giving birth from 36-37 weeks gestation. The mean birth weight was 3017 ± 285 g (minimum 2390, maximum 3380 g), with 2 patients having birth weight below 2500 g. The result of this study suggests that patients who undergo bariatric surgery have acceptable obstetric outcome.

Key words: Pregnancy outcome, bariatric surgery, obesity and pregancy
