Abstract

Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective long term treatment for obesity, improving weight and metabolic comorbidities. In pregnancy, BS reduces risks such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pregnancy induced hypertension, and macrosomia. However, it introduces new concerns, including micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, altered glucose metabolism, small for gestational age infants, and procedure related complications. Understanding these risks

Aims: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes among women with prior BS attending Hatta Hospital (HH), with the goal of improving preconception counseling and supporting informed decision making for women planning pregnancy after BS.
