Women of reproductive age represent the largest demographic group undergoing these procedures. Metabolic bariatric surgery can have both beneficial and adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. One of the most common adverse effects is fetal growth restriction. To mitigate these adverse effects, it is crucial to explore lifestyle modifications aimed at promoting a healthy pregnancy. Modifiable factors during pregnancy after metabolic bariatric surgery include the amount of gestational weight gain. The aim of this comprehensive review is to provide an overview of what is known about gestational weight gain in pregnancy after bariatric metabolic surgery. This review is focused on the two most performed procedures: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16152516","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,1]],"date-time":"2024-08-01T11:34:20Z","timestamp":1722512060000},"page":"2516","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Gestational Weight Gain Following Metabolic Bariatric Surgery: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8496-7723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ellen","family":"Deleus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases and Metabolism, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Abdominal Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Lannoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases and Metabolism, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Abdominal Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7392-2773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dries","family":"Ceulemans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Development and Regeneration, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7837-4684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roland","family":"Devlieger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Development and Regeneration, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4754-784X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bart","family":"Van der Schueren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases and Metabolism, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3325-0263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katrien","family":"Benhalima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chronic Diseases and Metabolism, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, University Hospitals Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1507","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.12927","article-title":"Pregnancy after bariatric surgery: Consensus recommendations for periconception, antenatal and postnatal care","volume":"20","author":"Shawe","year":"2019","journal-title":"Obes.
