title: Pregnancy after gastric bypass for morbid obesity.
abstract: There has been only one previous report on pregnancies following gastric bypass for the treatment of morbid obesity. In this study 57 such pregnancies were compared to a group of control pregnancies occurring in morbidly obese women before their bypass surgery. There was a significantly lower incidence of hypertension and large-for-gestational-age infants in the postoperative pregnancies. There was no significant difference in a number of other pregnancy complications studied.
