In this first national cohort of females giving birth following bariatric surgery, no significant difference was observed in persons who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus sleeve gastrectomy with respect to either reinterventions or obstetric outcomes. This suggests possible equipoise between these two procedures with regards to safety within the first two years following a bariatric procedure among women who may become pregnant, but more research is needed to confirm these findings in larger samples.
