Abstract
(BJOG. 2020;127:345–354) Obesity in women of reproductive age and pregnant women is a risk factor for maternal and neonatal morbidities, including fetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes, and childhood obesity. Bariatric surgery is a successful long-term solution to treat obesity and its comorbidities, and, as rates of both obesity and bariatric surgery rise, is an increasingly important consideration in reproductive health care. While other studies have assessed pregnancy outcomes after bariatric surgery, this study examined differences in perinatal outcomes for women who had bariatric surgery between their first and second pregnancies and those who did not. Further, the study assessed trends in bariatric surgery as well as characteristics of women having bariatric surgery.
