Special Episode 6: Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery - Timing, Risks & Rewards

Consultant Obstetrician Dr. Eman Al-Naggar joins the Aurora Blueprint to explain pregnancy after bariatric surgery: when it’s safe to conceive, how sleeve and bypass procedures differ, and the main risks to watch for (nutritional deficiencies, reflux, small bowel obstruction and gallstones).

She also covers the benefits—improved fertility, lower rates of gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders, and higher chances of vaginal delivery—and practical advice on vitamins, folic acid, contraception and coordinated care with your GP and surgeon.
