Lap Band Assists Women

Women who are obese will often find that they suffer from irregularities in the menstrual cycles and infertility. If a woman is obese while she is pregnant, the risk of death to both the mother and the child increases. It also leads to a greater risk of maternal high blood pressure to the tune of 10 times. Obesity during pregnancy can also lead to birth defects, particularly neural tube defects.

Studies have shown that obese women have a greater risk of infertility and pregnancy-related complications, including hypertension, gestational diabetes, and blood clots. Women who are obese are more likely than women who are not to need cesarean sections.

Lap Band surgery for women prior to pregnancy can get one's weight back in check and lead to a healthier pregnancy for both the mom and baby.
