If patients become pregnant and have a gastric band in situ, this needs to be emptied for the duration of pregnancy to ensure mother and baby receive sufficient nutrition.

NB: It is important that pregnant patients who have had previous bariatric surgery are referred back into our service for regular monitoring throughout their pregnancy and post-partum.

A referral for the attention of the bariatric dietitian or bariatric clinical nurse specialist can be made via the e-referral service.
