Jason Winnett: Weight Loss Can Improve Fertility
Jason Winnett, General Surgeon at Winnett Specialist Group, shared a post by Winnett Specialist Group on LinkedIn:
“Patients planning pregnancy often ask: ’Should I have bariatric surgery now, or wait until after?’
It’s an important question, and not always a straightforward one.
Weight loss can improve fertility and reduce risks like gestational diabetes. But it also comes with considerations around timing, nutrition, and post-op care.
We’ve put together a new article for GPs and health professionals on navigating this intersection of surgery, fertility, and pregnancy, including what the data says, and how we support patients at every step.
Read it here.”
Quoting Winnett Specialist Group’s post:
“The intersection of bariatric surgery, fertility, and pregnancy presents unique challenges and opportunities. Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss, which may improve fertility and reduce pregnancy related complications such as macrosomia and gestational diabetes – but it must be done with careful GP oversight.
Our latest blog shares answers to common questions about obesity and bariatric surgery in the reproductive years.”
