Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many infertile obese women conceive after bariatric surgery after many years, while guidelines prohibit them from pregnancy for at least 12-18 months after surgery, due to complications. METHODS: We hereby present 11 cases in our research center, pregnant in less than 12 months after surgery from 2011 to 2015, to evaluate their pregnancy outcome and complications. RESULTS: The mean conception time was 3.6 months after surgery and mean birth weight was 2695 g. Regarding neonatal/fetal complications, there was one case of intrauterine growth retardation and one NICU hospitalization. Among pregnancy complications, eight patients had hyperemesis gravidarum and one had pre-eclampsia. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest revising setting a contraindication for conception for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
