How safe is pregnancy after gastric bypass surgery? One study said that women who became pregnant after gastric bypass surgery experienced complications, such as bleeding and restricted growth of the fetus. A newer study suggested that weight-loss surgery protects obese women and their babies from gestational diabetes.
It is recommended that women wait a year to 18 months before getting pregnant after gastric bypass surgery. Rapid or persistent weight loss may deprive a fetus and mother of iron, folate, vitamin B-12, and calcium. Be sure to take your vitamins for a healthy baby and healthy mom.see: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy-after-gastric-bypass/AN01828
