studies
Obesity
Global epidemic (WHO, 2000)
Obesity rates in the UK continue to rise (HSE, 2012)
Obesity prevalence in women of reproductive age
24.2% and expected to rise (Ono, 2005)
Obesity
Bariatric surgery is an effective tool for treating obesity
(Shah, 2006)
Many co-morbidities can improve following weight loss
surgery (Perry, 2008)
Significantly more women than men have bariatric
surgery
Many of these women are of a reproductive age
Obesity in Pregnancy
Prior to conception associated with infertility
Increases risks in pregnancy
Maternal death
Gestational diabetes
Pre eclampsia
Hypertension
And many more ………
Criteria for Referral
New Clinical Commissioning Policy
Published April 2013
NICE guidance (2006)
BMI >40kg/m²
Or 35-40kg/m² with other significant disease
Obesity present for at least 5 years
Complied with a local specialist MDT obesity service weight
loss programme for 12-24 months (for BMI>50kg/m2, minimum
period is 6/12)
Keyhole Surgery
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass Complications
Leak from the joins
Narrowing or
blockage
Nutritional deficiencies
Gastric Band Surgery
Gastric Band
Gastric Band Complications
Band slippage
Band erosion
Infection
Port disconnection
Band leakage
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Complications
Staple line leak/bleed
Narrowing or
blockage
Nutritional deficiencies
Post Operative Diet
Following Bariatric Surgery
Post surgery staged process
to allow the body to get used to the operation
let swelling decrease
Not put excessive pressure on joins / dislodge bands
Individual time spent at each stage depends on procedure
and the patient is progressing
Important not to rush through the stages, it will take longer in
the end
Post Operative Diet Following
Bariatric Surgery
• Four Stages
Stage 1
Liquid only (1 week)
Stage 2
Blended / Pureed textured
diet
Post Operative Diet Following
Bariatric Surgery
• Four Stages
Stage 3
Soft diet
Stage 4
Normal textured diet
Pre Op Guidance for Post
Op Success
Regular meals
Control snacking
Healthy choices – long term small portions
Speed – important to eat slowly – 15 – 20 minutes to eat a
meal
Chewing – chew well, 20 – 30 times
Drinking and eating – avoid
Fizzy drinks – reduce and avoid
Physical activity
Vitamin and Mineral
Supplements

Effects of Bariatric Surgery
on Pregnancy
Lack of evidence in controlled trials
Varying evidence amongst papers
However, research tends to suggest, patients having
undergone bariatric surgery and lost significant weight have
improved outcomes and there is no increased risk to the
mother or infant
Recommendations
Varying practice nationally at surgery centres
Patients should contact centre where had surgery if
possible, and if necessary referred back there
Patients within 2 years of surgery (NHS) will generally still
be under the surgery team’s care
Ante natal team should be encouraged to
communicate with the surgery centre
Recommendations
Patients are advised not to become pregnant within 18
months of surgery (ACOG, 2005)
Rapid weight loss in this phase
Potential for greater risk of nutritional deficiencies
Anecdotally – patients in the earlier phases of their
weight loss journey fair poorer in terms of weight loss
Oral contraception may not be as effective (gastric
bypass)
Patients do become pregnant earlier than advised!
Recommendations
All patients should be taking multivitamin and mineral
supplements – need to ensure they take a pregnancy
safe one
BMI>30 kg/m2
folic acid 5mg
Vitamin D (10mcg/d) (nb. May already be taking vitamin
D supplement depending on surgery)
Gastric Bypass / Sleeve Gastrectomy – continue with
Vitamin B12 injections
Gastric Bypass – continue with Adcal D3 bd and ferrous
sulphate tds
Recommendations
Diet as per normal advice in pregnancy
regular meals
healthy food choices (Patients will be aware of limitations
within diet)
portions will generally be smaller
Food safety advice in pregnancy
Micronutrient monitoring
Bariatric Issues in
Pregnancy
Weight loss / maintenance / gain
Micronutrient issues
Iron
Calcium / Vit D
Dietary habits / restrictions
+ the effect of pregnancy on appetite / cravings
Areas of Limited Evidence
Monitoring
Band adjusting
Regular, depending on stage of surgery and pregnancy
Scans? Some papers suggest more frequent?
Varying suggestions around the country full deflation vs.
monitoring of symptoms and weight
Gestational diabetes
Gestational Diabetes and
Bariatric Surgery
Patients with BMI>30 are at risk of developing
gestational diabetes
Normal test is GTT
However, in RYGB – contraindicated due to potential for
dumping syndrome and false readings
Alternative testing required
Gestational Diabetes and
Bariatric Surgery
No best practice guidance
Suggestion
Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c at booking – if readings in
the diabetes range – early review and treatment
If normal and no hx of T2 DM prior to bariatric surgery, then
~26 weeks – fasting glucose and post prandial glucose (1-2
hours?) for approximately 1/52. Then referral to antenatal
team if appropriate
Liaise with surgical team and diabetes team

following advice
