Previous gastric surgery
Up to Antenatal Corticosteroids to Reduce Neonatal Morbidity (RCOG Green-top 7) - Sonia Clark
HI
We are noticing more women booking with a previous history of gastric surgery, either gastric band or gastric bypass.
Often these women still have a BMI of more than 30 and would br selected for a GTT
I would like to know what your policy is for performing a GTT on these women and their subsequent , as it is my understanding that those who have had a bypass should NOT have a GTT due to the risk of " dumping syundrome "
look forwrd to hearing from you

Hi Di
We don't do a GTT for that reason and so I give them a meter and do a 2 week profile.
Jane
Hi Di
We dont perform a GTT either , but as above we do CBG for a week prior to review
Jane
same here, i have just seen such a woman this morning and got her testing for a week then review
Hi, just wondering if anyone has written guidelines for gtt testing and
women who have had gastric surgery?
Many thanks
