title: [Safety of bariatric surgery in women of childbearing age and its future impact on their offspring].
abstract: Obesity is the greatest epidemic of the 21st century. Unfortunately, it is more and more common among young people, including women in reproductive age who may suffer from difficulties with conceiving, pregnancy complications and increased maternal-fetal risk in the perinatal period. As a result of poor effectiveness of conservative treatment of obesity, a new trend has emerged to use surgical methods, which show positive effects on patients'fertility. It has been proved that pregnancy among women after bariatric surgery is safer than for other obese women who didn't undergo this procedure. Moreover, children of mothers who were operated were less likely to suffer from cardiovascular complications, obesity and other metabolic disorders in the future. However, it is vital to have in mind the likelihood of side effects, which include mainly serious vitamins, micro-, and macronutrient deficiencies that usually leads to constant and lifelong supplementation and the need of medical supervision of the patient and her child.
