Abstract
PURPOSE Although bariatric surgery is associated with a decrease in obesity complications, it may affect the children's growth by a maternal nutritional deficiency. This study was conducted to assess the effect of maternal bariatric surgery on offspring anthropometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a mixed cohort, anthropometric status of children aged 5 years or less born to mothers with a history of bariatric surgery was compared with a control group consists of peers born to mothers with obesity but without bariatric surgery. Anthropometric indices including crude and quantile values for BMI, weight, height, and head circumference at birth and the first 5 years of life were measured. Then, the adjusted effect of maternal surgical history on anthropometric status was estimated by linear regression. RESULTS From a total of 56 children, 28 born to mothers with a history of bariatric surgery, and 28 born to mothers with obesity but without bariatric surgery. At birth, weight (2915 vs 3225 g) and BMI (11.72 vs 12.94 kg/m2) were lower in the group with maternal bariatric surgery than in the control group (P = 0.02 and P = 0.03, respectively), although after regression adjustment, there was only a significant difference between the two groups in height for age value in children less than 5 years old (B = 0.872, P-value = 0.001). CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery with decrease of weight indices at birth has a probable influence on growth and development in next years. Therefore, it is recommended further studies to identify unknown effect of types of preconception surgical procedures on childhood outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is estimated that most people undergoing bariatric surgery are women of reproductive age; nonetheless, its effects on pregnancy outcomes are not yet fully understood. METHODS Retrospective observational study, conducted in a tertiary center in Portugal, included participants in two groups: (1) pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery (n = 89) and (2) pregnant women with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, without previous bariatric surgery (n = 176). Data was collected from the medical files. Multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for confounders. RESULTS Pregnancy after bariatric surgery was associated with lower risk of gestational diabetes (15.7% vs. 30.1%, p = 0.002) and cesarean delivery (20.7% vs. 33.5%, p = 0.007), and a higher gestational weight gain (10.58 ± 9.95 vs. 7.33 ± 6.00 kg, p < 0.001). Participants in the bariatric surgery who experienced a gestational weight gain ≤ 10.0 kg had a higher risk of preterm delivery (16.7% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.031). No significant differences were found regarding hypertensive diseases of pregnancy between groups (4.5% vs 11.4%, p = 0.147). Pregnancy after bariatric surgery was associated with lower neonate weight percentile (34.24 ± 21.09 vs. 48.77 ± 27.94, p < 0.001), higher risk of fetal growth restriction (5.6% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.018), and lower risk of fetal macrosomia (0.0% vs. 7.5%, p = 0.005). There were no significant differences in the risk of SGA (12.5% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.127) or LGA neonates (2.3% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.069). CONCLUSION Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is associated with both risks and benefits, which should be considered by healthcare providers. Pregnancy after bariatric surgery requires individualized care, to ensure adequate gestational weight and avoid micronutrient deficiencies.

Attitudes and Behaviors towards Food and Weight in Late Pregnancy: A Comparative Approach between Individuals with and without Previous Bariatric Surgery. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:342. [PMID: 38338227 PMCID: PMC10855954 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12030342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The aims of this study were to compare, between pregnant individuals with and without bariatric surgery: (1) eating behaviors, (2) intuitive eating components and, (3) attitudes towards weight gain. This retrospective study included data collected in healthy pregnant individuals with and without previous bariatric surgery who were recruited at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) de Québec-Université Laval. Pregnant individuals who underwent bariatric surgery (biliopancreatic bypass with duodenal switch [n = 14] or sleeve gastrectomy [n = 5]) were individually matched, for age (±0.4 years) and body mass index (BMI) (±0.3 kg/m2), with pregnant individuals who have not received bariatric surgery. In the second trimester, participants completed the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) and the Intuitive Eating Scale 2 (IES-2). In the third trimester, participants completed the French version of the Pregnancy Weight Gain Attitude Scale assessing attitudes towards weight gain. Pregnant individuals who have had bariatric surgery had a higher score for flexible restraint and a lower score for situational susceptibility to disinhibition compared to individuals who have not had undergone bariatric surgery (2.89 ± 1.15 vs. 1.95 ± 1.31; p = 0.04 and 1.11 ± 1.29 vs. 2.79 ± 1.44, respectively; p < 0.001). Regarding intuitive eating, pregnant individuals who experienced bariatric surgery had a higher score for reliance on internal hunger and satiety cues and a lower one for unconditional permission to eat compared with those who had not experienced bariatric surgery (3.99 ± 0.81 vs. 3.30 ± 1.03; p = 0.02 and 3.28 ± 0.54 vs. 3.61 ± 0.68, respectively; p = 0.03). No difference in attitudes towards weight gain was observed between groups. Overall, pregnant individuals who had undergone bariatric surgery had different eating behaviors and intuitive eating components compared to pregnant individuals without bariatric surgery. These results need to be confirmed in further studies with larger sample sizes.

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
INTRODUCTION To compare the gestational weight gain (GWG) between women with previous bariatric surgery and those without and investigate whether GWG correlates with birthweight (BW) or delivery of a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective, longitudinal study, include 100 pregnant women with previous bariatric surgery and 100 without weight loss surgery, but with similar early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). In a sub-study, 50 of the post-bariatric women were also matched to 50 women without surgery, but early-pregnancy BMI similar to the pre-surgery BMI of the post-bariatric ones. All women had their weight/BMI measured at 11-14 and 35-37 weeks of gestation, and the difference in maternal weight/BMI between the two time points was expressed as GWG/BMI gain. Associations between maternal GWG/BMI gain and birthweight (BW) were examined. RESULTS Compared to no bariatric women with similar early-pregnancy BMI, post-bariatric women had similar GWG (p = 0.46), and the number of women with appropriate, insufficient, and excessive weight gain was comparable between groups (p = 0.76). However, post-bariatric women delivered smaller babies (p < 0.001), and GWG was not a significant predictor of BW or of delivering a SGA neonate. Compared to no bariatric women with similar pre-surgery BMI, post-bariatric ones had higher GWG (p < 0.01) but still delivered smaller neonates (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Post-bariatric women seem to have similar or greater GWG compared to women without surgery matched for early-pregnancy or pre-surgery BMI, respectively. Maternal GWG was not associated with BW or higher prevalence of SGA neonates seen in women with previous bariatric surgery.

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
Cholesterol-derived bile acids (BAs) affect numerous physiological functions such as glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and absorption, intestinal inflammation and immunity, as well as intestinal microbiota diversity. Diet influences the composition of the BA pool. In the present study, we analyzed the impact of a dietary supplementation with a freeze-dried blueberry powder (BBP) on the fecal BA pool composition. The diet of 11 men and 13 women at risk of metabolic syndrome was supplemented with 50 g/day of BBP for 8 weeks, and feces were harvested before (pre) and after (post) BBP consumption. BAs were profiled using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. No significant changes in total BAs were detected when comparing pre- vs. post-BBP consumption samples. However, post-BBP consumption samples exhibited significant accumulations of glycine-conjugated BAs (p = 0.04), glycochenodeoxycholic (p = 0.01), and glycoursodeoxycholic (p = 0.01) acids, as well as a significant reduction (p = 0.03) in the secondary BA levels compared with pre-BBP feces. In conclusion, the fecal bileacidome is significantly altered after the consumption of BBP for 8 weeks. While additional studies are needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and physiological implications of these changes, our data suggest that the consumption of blueberries can modulate toxic BA elimination.
