Women who have had weight loss surgery should wait at least a year before trying for a baby, experts have warned.
Having a baby after surgery is safer and associated with fewer complications than becoming pregnant when morbidly obese, say doctors.
But patients should still be treated as high-risk and be "strongly advised" not to get pregnant for 12 to 18 months afterwards, a review suggests.
Obesity among women of childbearing age is expected to rise to 28% by 2015.
