  • Title: Pregnancy following jejunoileal bypass. Effects on fetal outcome.
    Author: Taylor JL, O'Leary JP.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1976 Oct; 48(4):425-7. PubMed ID: 967378.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of pregnancy following jejunoileal bypass surgery for obesity are presented, and 9 cases from the recent literature are reviewed. Pregnancy after bypass surgery often resulted in low-birthweight infants (46%) at term, and this was especially true when conception occurred within 2 years of the surgery. In light of these findings it may be advisable to postpone pregnancy until after the second postoperative year.
