Nutritional Status During Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery

Background: There is a lack of evidence on whether maternal nutritional deficiencies after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) affect fetal development. The investigators hypothesis is that SG could induce nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy, as RYGB does, because of food restriction. These nutritional deficiencies may alter fetal growth. Methods: Women with singleton pregnancies who had at least one nutritional evaluation during pregnancy in our institution between 2006 and 2017 were included. The investigators evaluated nutritional deficiencies according to standard and pregnancy-specific norms. They have planned to study the relationships between these parameters and fetal growth. Objectives: To compare maternal nutritional parameters and neonatal outcomes after RYGB and SG and to assess the impact of nutritional alterations on fetal growth.
