Funding Details
The results of this study can serve as a reference for counseling women of reproductive age on which surgery may be best for them; women should be presented with the risks and benefits of all available obesity treatment options and allowed to make an informed decision about their body regardless of future reproductive decisions. Timing of pregnancy after surgery also influences safety of pregnancy and childbirth and should be a part of this preoperative discussion. Current guidelines written by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), The Obesity Society (TOS), and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) are to delay pregnancy until 12 months after metabolic surgery; however, newer publications are supporting that weight stabilization may be the most important factor in terms of timing of pregnancy [5].
