Brief Summary:
The expansion of the obesity epidemic is accompanied with an increase in bariatric procedures, in particular in women of reproductive age. Severe obesity has negative effects on fertility and on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, and the weight loss induced by the bariatric surgery (BS) is believed to reverse the deleterious impact of overweight and obesity on female fertility. However, research is limited to retrospective cohort studies, small case-series and case-control studies. Weight reduction has been shown to improve fecundity and hormonal state of a subgroup of obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this population, recent studies have demonstrated an increase of naturally conceived pregnancies following bariatric surgery. However, these studies have evaluated only short-term evolution of ovarian function and not all studies demonstrated improvements in fertility outcomes after BS. Clearly, more studies are needed regarding the effect of BS on obesity-related infertility, and long-term outcome of ovarian function has to be assessed.
Markers of ovarian reserve, including Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), antral follicle count (AFC), and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), have been used to counsel patients regarding in their reproductive outcomes. Serum AMH concentrations remain remarkably stable throughout the menstrual cycle, which is a great advantage over other markers of fertility. Various studies have evaluated the association between AMH and body mass index (BMI) but reported contradictory results. Some of them have reported a significant inverse correlation between AMH and BMI, but others found no relationship between AMH and BMI. Scarce and small preliminary studies have been performed to evaluate AMH changes after surgical weight loss and showed a decrease in serum AMH.

Detailed Description:
Medical files of volunteers obese women consulting an endocrinologist nutritionist or a gynaecologist in each center will be screened and women fitting the inclusion criteria will be proposed to participate in the study. These women will be enrolled and matched with obese women with planned bariatric surgery prospectively. The matching for age (± 1 year) and BMI category (BMI 35-39.9 kg/m², 40-49.9 kg/m² and ≥ 50 kg/m²) of each woman in the surgery group with a control woman will be performed globally, i.e. two matched women could belong to the same center or two different centers.
This is a national prospective multicentre cohort study. Obese women with planned BS, matched for presurgical age and BMI with women with no planned BS.
Subjects with planned bariatric surgery will be recruited in the nutrition departments. All consecutive eligible patients will be considered for inclusion.
Obese women with no planned bariatric surgery will be recruited in the same centers than the corresponding women with planned bariatric surgery, but two matched women can belong to two different centers.
All subjects will be followed 36-42 months according to the delay between inclusion and BS, and AMH levels will be measured at baseline or preoperative time, 12, 24 and 36 months after baseline for controls and after BS for operated women.
