Abstract
Each year, increasing numbers of bariatric surgeries are being performed to reduce health risks related to obesity. The improvement in health for these patients has promoted an increase in the possibility of pregnancy for some woman. Because there are lifelong adjustments and the possibility of unique complications from bariatric surgery, pregnancy presents special nursing concerns. Very few cases have been identified in nursing literature discussing pregnancy after complications following a bariatric surgery. This article presents a successful pregnancy after a partial pancreatectomy was performed secondary to acute pancreatitis and ischemic enterocolitis as a complication of laparoscopic gastric banding.
