Associations of Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery with Long-Term Weight Trajectories and Birth Weight: LABS-2 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to examine whether pregnancy following bariatric surgery affects long-term maternal weight change and offspring birth weight.

Methods

Using data from the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS)-2 study, linear regression was used to evaluate percent change in total body weight over a 5-year follow-up period among reproductive-aged women who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding as well as evaluate the association of bariatric procedure type and offspring birth weight.

Results

Of 727 women with preoperative age of 36.1 (6.3) years (mean [SD]) and BMI of 46.9 (7.0) kg/m² , 80 (11%) reported at least one pregnancy. After adjusting for covariates, percent change in total body weight
