[Acute abdomen in pregnant woman treated for bariatric surgery for obesity: case report].

Bariatric surgery is currently considered as an alternative for the treatment of morbid obesity refractory to conventional clinical treatments.

Pregnancies in women submitted to this type of surgery are increasingly frequent, and the related complications have been increasingly reported.
