ABSTRACT
Little is known about the impact of bariatric surgery weight loss on pregnancy rate but a meta-analysis of data from 589 infertile obese women indicates a 58% pregnancy rate after surgery [1]. An obesityfertility protocol study suggests that even a loss of 5%–10% body weight can restore ovulation [2] so contraceptive counseling needs to be considered for women of child bearing age. Pregnancy after bariatric surgery has complications in nutritional and gastrointestinal tract issues that need management by a multidisciplinary team that includes a nutritionist, obstetrician, anesthesiologist along with the bariatric surgeon [3].
