Medical webinar
Pregnancy after bariatric surgery
Wednesday, January 11th, 2023 | 7 PM – 8:30 PM CEST
Nutritional recommendations
Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective treatments for obesity and its comorbidities. In women of childbearing age, it can result in improved fertility and better pregnancy outcomes (Milone et al., 2016).
However, bariatric patients face an increased risk for nutritional deficiencies which can cause maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy. In fact, post-bariatric micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy occur in up to 70% of women, usually due to inadequate dietary intake and decreased absorption of nutrients (Snoek et al., 2022). During this webinar, we will discuss nutritional recommendations to reduce the risk of deficiencies in this patient group.
