By contrast, only 16% of the comparison group — similarly obese patients with diabetes who did not get surgery — had seen their diabetes remit in the first two years. At 15 years out, diabetes remission was six times likelier in those who had surgery than in the those who did not. In another study, researchers at the garcinia cambogia Cleveland Clinic in Ohio followed bariatric patients for an average of six years after surgery. They tallied those patients’ likelihoods of developing a wide range of health outcomes at the time of surgery and six years later, and compared them.

Study Ties Weight-Loss Surgery to Higher Risk of Preemie Birth
12 in the journal BMJ. Although the study found an association between women having weight-loss surgery and higher risk of pregnancy with prematurity or lower birth weight, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship. “The mechanism behind how [weight-loss] surgery influences fetal growth we don’t yet know, but we do know that people who have bariatric surgery are at increased risk of micronutrient deficiencies,” Dr. Olof Stephansson, an obstetrician and associate professor at the clinical epidemiology unit at Karolinska, said in an institute news release.

Mother’s weight loss surgery associated with premature birth
In a new study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Swedish researchers have found that babies born to mothers who had bariatric surgery may have a greater chance of being born premature and being small for their gestational age. “The mechanism behind how surgery influences fetal growth, we don’t yet know, but we do know that people who have bariatric surgery are at increased risk of micronutrient deficiencies,” Dr. Olof Stephansson, obstetrician and associate professor of the clinical epidemiology unit at Karolinska Institutet, said in a statement. For the study, Stephansson and his colleagues analyzed 2,500 babies born between 1992 and 2009, whose mothers had all undergone weight-loss surgery.
