Abstract

This study compares pregnancy outcomes following gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy bariatric surgeries. Pregnancy outcomes including maternal complications (e.g., gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders), fetal outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, small for gestational age), and postoperative complications were assessed. Results indicated specific findings, e.g., differences in gestational diabetes rates, rates of preterm birth between the two surgical groups. Factors such as maternal weight loss, nutritional status, and the timing of conception post-surgery were considered in the analysis. The findings highlight the impact of different bariatric procedures on pregnancy outcomes and provide insights into clinical management strategies for pregnant women following bariatric surgery. Further research is needed to optimize preconception counseling and postoperative care to enhance maternal and fetal health outcomes in this population.
