Schlüsselwörter
Abstrakt
BACKGROUND
Conception is discouraged during the period of maximal weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) because of speculative maternal and fetal concerns. We therefore performed a retrospective cohort study of obstetrical and neonatal outcomes by surgery-to-conception interval.
METHODS
Women with RYGB were stratified into two groups by surgery-to-conception interval of
RESULTS
Twenty subjects conceived
CONCLUSIONS
Obstetrical and neonatal outcomes are similar in women conceiving during or after the period of maximal weight loss following RYGB.
