Obesity is a chronic problem in the United States, affecting an estimated one-third of the adult population. The condition impacts men and women alike, but it can pose extra challenges for women. This is especially so in regard to the childbearing years.

Obese women who wish to become pregnant and those who already have children will find that weight loss surgery can provide them a number of side benefits that are unique to their position in life. When bariatric surgery – or other means of weight loss – are employed successfully to bring weight down to a healthy level, women are likely to benefit from:

  • Improved conception chances – Obesity can interfere with a woman’s ability to conceive in the first place. Losing weight can reduce this potential impact.
  • Decreased pregnancy complication risks – Obese women face higher risks for pregnancy complications than their normal weight counterparts. These risks include gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, preterm birth and more. Women who lose weight before conception may see these risks drop.
  • Increased stamina – Obesity can take its toll on the body, mind and spirit. When weight is lost, stamina for keeping up with the kids tends to increase. Losing weight can also stave off a host of conditions that may limit overall enjoyment of life, including clinical depression.
  • Increased life-expectancy – Due to its connection to such diseases as diabetes, heart disease, some forms of cancer and more, obesity is often linked with a lowered life expectancy. Losing weight can extend life expectancy, enabling moms to enjoy their children – and grandchildren – longer.

Obesity is a chronic condition that can have a long list of complications for women. For those who are considering pregnancy or already have children, taking steps to lose weight can make a huge difference in life. To learn more about the possibilities bariatric surgery presents, consult with a licensed healthcare provider or bariatric surgeon.
