title: [Pregnancy after bariatric surgery].
abstract: Bariatric surgery interventions are rapidly growing and most are performed on female patients. Thus, pregnancies after bariatric surgery are increasingly common. Awareness of the consequences and risks of bariatric surgery on subsequent pregnancies is important. Literature data report a reduction of the usual pregnancy risks of pregnancies in obese patients, but also an increased risk of small-for-gestational-age infants, possibly related to nutritional deficiencies. A careful screening for micronutrient deficiencies is therefore already advised before conception. Nutritional follow-up and serious evaluation of any abdominal complaints are recommended as well during pregnancy.
