ABSTRACT

Objective: To estimate the number of patients with menstrual irregularities who became pregnant after bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve) and to describe the pregnancy outcomes.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of a series of cases of obese patients with menstrual irregularities who underwent bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve). They were operated between June 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019 at the Imbanaco Cali Medical Center, Colombia.
Results: Of 1418 bariatric surgeries, gastric sleeve type, 117 patients met the inclusion criteria, 80 of them were located by telephone and agreed to be included in the study. After gastric sleeve, 86.25% (n = 69) of the patients achieved regularization of their menstrual cycles. In addition, 31% (n = 25) achieved pregnancy, 80% (n = 20) of them intended to seek pregnancy. The outcomes of these pregnancies were favorable, with full-term deliveries, with adequate weight and height at birth.
Conclusions: After bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve type, in women with menstrual irregularities, 25 of the 80 patients became pregnant and the obstetric outcomes were satisfactory. Undoubtedly, more prospective studies are needed to be able to affirm, with a better statistical representation, the repercussions of the decrease in body weight on the fertility rate.
