[Pregnancy after gastric banding: maternal tolerance, obstetrical and neonatal outcomes].
OBJECTIVE
To define specific features of follow-up in pregnant women with gastric banding in order to evaluate obstetrical outcomes and gastric banding related complications.


METHODS
A systematic review of observational and case-control studies, as well as case reports to discuss pregnant women follow-up.


RESULTS
Seven articles were retained. Doctors manage differently gastric banding. With gastric banding, there is a better maternal weight gain control and less hypertension and diabetic complications. We found four gastric banding related complications.


CONCLUSIONS
Gastric banding is well tolerated during pregnancy and can be safely recommended to obese women of childbearing age.
