Maternal Malnutrition During Pregnancy Among Women with Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Introduction: As the utilization of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) continues to rise, it is important to address the nutritional needs of women who had MBS who become pregnant. Not meeting those nutritional needs could lead to complications associated with malnutrition. To better understand the relationship between MBS, pregnancy, and malnutrition, this study sought to determine whether differences exist in the presence of malnutrition during pregnancy in women with a history of MBS compared to women without a history of MBS.
