Gastric Bypass and Pregnancy
A woman who undergoes gastric bypass surgery can have a healthy pregnancy. In fact, morbid obesity can result in complications or miscarriage. Women who become pregnant after gastric bypass surgery are at a lower risk for complications than morbidly obese women.
Women who are morbidly obese risk maternal high blood pressure, the development of gestational diabetes, as well as labor and delivery complications.
