Until three years ago, Céline didn’t think she would get pregnant. She then weighed 120 kilos and health professionals told him that his infertility problem came from his weight. “It is a side effect of obesity disease“, confirms Doctor Pierre Blanc. “due to chronic inflammation linked to fat cells and possibly polycystic ovary syndrome (POKS) which prevents ovulation.
Stomach surgery: a solution
After undergoing a bariatric surgery, which reduces the size of the stomach, in the clinic of Doctor Pierre Blanc in Saint-Etienne, Céline finally becomes pregnant: and it will be triplets. You might think the story ends there, but it’s actually just beginning.
“Obesity is a lifelong disease“, explains Doctor Pierre Blanc, “If you’re not careful, you can quickly gain weight once more. We have therefore chosen to support patients before, during and following the operation. And naturally, for pregnancies too.“
Personalized support
This is how Céline, like other women who underwent the operation, found herself accompanied by the Saint-Etienne mutual obesity clinic.
With dietary advice, but also listening and support, because “what is ultimately very complicated is to regain weight during pregnancy, and realize that the body is changing in the opposite direction. And even though we know that later, we will lose this weight once more, it is psychologically hard.“, remembers Céline.
However, it is very important to keep the good habits you started before pregnancy, emphasizes Doctor Pierre Blanc, because: “if the mother has lost weight and has good eating habits, the child will have less risk of also developing obesity.“
