We did not identify any prospective cohort studies, which would be the strongest study design to assess this question of risk. Consequently, our conclusions are tempered by the limited available evidence. Based on these data, gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable band seem to confer minimal if any risk for nutrient problems, as long as maternal nutrition is maintained. However, BPD has an appreciable risk for nutritional problems: In one large case series, 20 percent of pregnant women required parenteral nutrition and case reports of pregnancy following BPD show nutritional adverse events, even with good compliance with supplementation. . | HHII UA A AU AUAUA JAUAUAUA AU A AU. 4 4 4 4 4 t III 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4I 4 4 I 4 414 4 4 414 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Integrating Adolescent Livelihood Activities within a Reproductive Health Program for Urban Slum Dwellers in India . .
