Obes Surg 2024; 34:1630-1638. [PMID: 38483741 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07160-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy regarding the timing of pregnancy and its implications is present in the literature. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the midterm outcome of weight loss in women who have undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) followed by pregnancy at two different times. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 53 women who matched the inclusion criteria and included them in the analysis. Demographics and anthropometric measurements were collected. Women who conceived within 12 months of LSG were labeled as early group (EG), and who conceived after 12 months were noted as late group (LG). RESULTS There were no differences between the groups regarding obesity-associated disease and number of pregnancies before. EG had higher weight (P = 0.0001) and body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.002) at LSG. The mean interval time for EG was 6.7 ± 3.2 months, and LG was 20 ± 5.2 months. Gestational weight gain (GWG) was lower in the EG (P = 0.001). There were no differences in the number of small for gestational age (SGA) births or gestational weight. In the first 2 years after LSG, LG had a higher percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) and percentage of body mass index loss (%EBMIL) (P < 0.0001). After 5 years of follow-up, %TWL (P = 0.4) and %EBMIL (P = 0.1) were not statistically significant between both groups. CONCLUSION Conception within 12 months from LSG might hinder the weight loss process in the short term but have no significant effect over 5 years of follow-up.

Abstract
Importance Pregnancy weight gain may affect the association of bariatric surgery with postsurgery pregnancy outcomes. However, the association of pregnancy weight gain with bariatric surgery is unclear. Objective To compare pregnancy weight gain among women with a history of bariatric surgery vs those without and to investigate whether pregnancy weight gain differs by surgical procedure, surgery-to-conception interval, and/or surgery-to-conception weight loss. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide, population-based matched cohort study was conducted in Sweden from 2014 to 2021. Singleton pregnancies with a history of bariatric surgery were propensity score matched (1:1) to pregnancies without such a history according to early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), prepregnancy diabetes, prepregnancy hypertension, maternal age, smoking status, education level, height, country of birth, and delivery year. In addition, post-gastric bypass pregnancies were matched to post-sleeve gastrectomy pregnancies using the same matching strategy. Data analysis was performed from November 2022 to May 2023. Exposure History of bariatric surgery. Main Outcomes and Measures Pregnancy weight gain was standardized by gestational age into early-pregnancy BMI-specific z scores. Results This study included 12 776 pregnancies, of which 6388 had a history of bariatric surgery and 6388 were matched controls. The mean (SD) age was 31.6 (4.9) years for the surgery group and 31.4 (5.2) for the matched controls, with an early-pregnancy mean (SD) BMI of 29.4 (5.2) in both groups. Across all early-pregnancy BMI strata, women with a history of bariatric surgery had lower pregnancy weight gain than matched controls. The differences in pregnancy weight gain z score values between the 2 groups were -0.33 (95% CI, -0.43 to -0.23) for normal weight, -0.33 (95% CI, -0.40 to -0.27) for overweight, -0.21 (95% CI, -0.29 to -0.13) for obese class I, -0.16 (95% CI, -0.29 to -0.03) for obese class II, and -0.08 (95% CI, -0.28 to 0.13) for obese class III. Pregnancy weight gain did not differ by surgical procedure. A shorter surgery-to-conception interval (particularly within 1 year) or lower surgery-to-conception weight loss was associated with lower pregnancy weight gain. Conclusions and Relevance In this nationwide matched cohort study, women with a history of bariatric surgery had lower pregnancy weight gain than matched controls with similar early-pregnancy characteristics. Pregnancy weight gain was lower in those with a shorter surgery-to-conception interval or lower surgery-to-conception weight loss, but did not differ by surgical procedure.

Abstract
Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2, complicates maternal and neonatal outcomes. Bariatric surgery (BS) is an option for weight reduction in several populations, including reproductive-aged women. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the ideal time interval between BS and pregnancy. We report the case of a 43-year-old Hispanic female who underwent an initial Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in 2011, followed by a revision eight years later in 2019. The revision entailed the reduction of the gastric pouch size and the excision of the remnant stomach. It occurred sixteen months before the conception of her second pregnancy. Despite advanced maternal age and nutritional challenges following BS, this patient delivered a healthy male neonate and maintained a net weight loss compared to her preoperative weight. Factors leading to this positive outcome included the patient's adherence to dietary recommendations following the procedure and using weight loss adjuncts (phentermine and topiramate) to promote post-procedure weight loss. Sixteen months between RYGB revision and conception can lead to positive pregnancy outcomes, even in women of advanced maternal age and multiple prior BS. Further studies are required to understand better the optimal interval to reduce maternal and neonatal complications following RYGB specifically and the use of medications as weight loss adjuncts.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery increases the risk of lower birth weight, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants, and preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy. However, the factors that contribute to these adverse birth outcomes are unclear. This review aimed to collate available information about risk factors of lower birth weight, SGA, and preterm birth following bariatric surgery. METHODS A literature search was conducted using five databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) to obtain relevant studies. RESULTS A total number of 85 studies were included. Studies generally excluded surgery-to-conception interval, pregnancy complications, cigarette use, and maternal age as influencing factors of birth weight, SGA, or preterm birth. In contrast, most studies found that malabsorptive procedures, lower gestational weight gain, lower glucose levels, abdominal pain, and insufficient prenatal care were associated with an elevated risk of adverse birth outcomes. Findings were mixed regarding the effects of surgery-to-conception weight loss, pre-pregnancy body mass index, micronutrient deficiency, and lipid levels on birth outcomes. The examination of maternal microbiome profiles, placental function, alcohol use, and exercise was limited to one study; therefore, no conclusions could be made. CONCLUSION This review identified factors that appear to be associated (e.g., surgery type) or not associated (e.g., surgery-to-conception interval) with birth outcomes following bariatric surgery. The mixed findings and the limited number of studies on several variables (e.g., micronutrients, exercise) highlight the need for further investigation. Additionally, future studies may benefit from exploring interactions among risk factors and expanding to assess additional exposures such as maternal mental health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information on exclusive breastfeeding (BF) and BF initiation following bariatric surgery (BS) among obese women with diabetes mellitus (DM) and without DM (non-DM) is limited. METHODS Retrospective cohort study. Obesity was defined by BMI (kg/m2) as grade 1 (30-34.9), grade 2 (35-39.9) or grade 3 (≥40). The 65 women in the DM group (40 women with gestational, 19 with Type 2 and 6 with Type 1) was similar to 84 with non-DM in BS type: Roux-en-Y (51 vs 55%), sleeve gastrectomy (32 vs 35%), laparoscopic gastric banding (17 vs 7%) and gastro-duodenal anastomosis (0 vs 4%). RESULTS Women with DM were older (35 vs 33y), of advanced age (54 vs 27%), with higher prevalence of grade 3 obesity (66 vs 46%), chronic hypertension (31 vs 10%), delivery of late-preterm infants (23 vs 10%) and neonatal hypoglycemia (25 vs 12%). Although infant feeding intention was similar: BF (66 vs 79%), partial BF (9 vs 7%) or formula (25 vs 14%), at discharge women with DM had lower exclusive BF (29 vs 41%) and BF initiation rates (68 vs 76%) than those with non-DM. Women with grade 3 obesity (52% were DM) differed from those with grades 1-2 (34% were DM) in exclusive BF (27 vs 52%), and BF initiation rates (66 vs 86%). CONCLUSION After BS, women with DM, especially those with grade 3 obesity, had higher rates of chronic hypertension and preeclampsia and lower rates of exclusive BF and BF initiation than those who had DM but had less severe obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To summarize evidence of benefits and risks of maternal and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid and Cochrane Library until 24th May 2021. Inclusion criteria were randomized trails or observational studies including at least one of maternal or neonatal outcomes from pregnant women who had a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery with a control group of pregnant women with no history of bariatric surgery. Non-English studies were excluded. Both fixed-effect and random-effect models were used in the meta-analyses. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess quality of studies. RESULTS Nine retrospective articles were eligible including 13 848 pregnant women with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and 255 008 pregnant women without a history of bariatric surgery. The results of meta-analysis showed a lower incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (OR 0.53, 95% CI [0.47, 0.60], p < 0.00001), large gestational age infants (OR 0.28, 95%CI [0.22, 0.37], p < 0.00001) or macrosomia (OR 0.26, 95%CI [0.23, 0.30], p < 0.00001) in women after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. On the other hand, infants born to mothers with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery had an increased risk of small gestational age (OR 2.24, 95% CI [1.55, 3.24], p < 0.00001). CONCLUSION Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery reduces significantly of risks of preterm premature rupture of membranes and large for gestational age/ macrosomia, but increase the risk of small for gestational age.
