▼ Background:
Evidence supports the association between physical activity and weight loss following
bariatric surgery but evidence is lacking for preoperative exercise.
Objective:
Evaluate short term benefits of a preoperative exercise program in patients awaiting
bariatric surgery. Our primary outcome was six minute walk test (6MWT). Secondary outcomes included anthropometric measurements, strength testing, and quality of life.
Methods:
Fifty four patients were enrolled. Twenty-nine patients were randomized to “Control” (standard preoperative care). Twenty-five patients were randomized to “Intervention” (standard preoperative care plus 12 week exercise program).
Results:
There was a statistically significant difference in 6MWT between intervention and control (Change in Control -4.88 m, p = 0.63; Change in Intervention 27.46 m, p = 0.01; Absolute difference between intervention and control = 32.34 m; p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes.
Conclusion:
A preoperative exercise intervention was associated with a statistically significant improvement in 6MWT in patients awaiting
bariatric surgery.

▼ Background: Obesity is a disease characterized by excess adiposity which complicates metabolism, mobility, and multiple systems in the body. Over a third of Americans have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2 and therefore, are considered obese. Excess adiposity may be prevented or reduced through behavioral, pharmacological and surgical methods.
Bariatric surgery results in significant and sustained loss of body weight and body fat. Many
bariatric surgeries have also been termed metabolic surgeries as they result in significant improvements of metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity including dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. It is estimated that 80% of individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) will experience resolution after
bariatric surgeries such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
Although individuals with morbid obesity have a greater risk of T2DM, 25% remain insulin-sensitive. To date, it is unclear why some develop insulin-sensitive obesity (Obsen) and others insulin-resistant obesity (Obres). A validated biomarker to distinguish these groups may aid in more targeted interventions and monitoring of at-risk populations. Fetuin-A (FetA) has shown promise as a potential marker of insulin resistance yet much about this hepatokine remains unknown. The overarching goal of this research is to understand whether FetA may be a novel marker of obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to 1) determine the role genetics play in circulating FetA and metabolic health, 2) investigate how circulating FetA responds to SG, a
bariatric procedure known to markedly improve insulin sensitivity, and 3) compare FetA, adipocyte hypertrophy and weight loss trajectories between SG patients with Obsen and Obres.
Methods: To determine the genetic influence of FetA, 717 college applicants to the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, Mexico (18-25 years old) were genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs4917 and rs2518136) in the gene that codes for FetA, alpha2-Heremans-Schmid Glycoprotein (AHSG). Circulating lipids, glucose, insulin and FetA were measured in plasma. To investigate the role of FetA in obesity and interventions aiming to improve insulin sensitivity, forty SG patients were recruited and evaluated longitudinally. Participants met with research staff at baseline (T0) (prior to hypocaloric, low-fat preoperative diet), on the morning of
surgery (T1) and six weeks following
surgery (T2). At each visit, fasting blood and three-day food logs were collected. Body composition was measured via direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. Circulating FetA, insulin, blood lipids and glucose were measured at each visit. Omental adipose tissue was collected at the time of
surgery. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and adipocyte diameter was calculated. To compare individuals with Obres and Obsen, the cohort was divided into age- and…

▼ The purpose of these studies was to explore the roles of dietary strategies and bariatric surgery in obesity treatment. The breakfast study was a randomized, crossover trial used to evaluate the role of egg proteins, and a retrospective chart review was conducted to obtain comparative information about two different bariatric surgeries. The breakfast study included 20 subjects who were randomized to receive an egg breakfast (EB) or a cereal breakfast (CB) matched for energy density and macronutrient composition but different protein quality for one week. Following a washout period, each subject was crossed over to receive the opposite breakfast for one week. The EB resulted in lower cumulative lunchtime food intake (p=0.05), reduced hunger on day 1 (p=0.001), greater feelings of fullness on days 1 and 7 (p=0.02), and decreased desire to eat on day 1 (p=0.03). Acylated ghrelin was lower on day 1 of the EB compared to the CB (p=0.005) but not on day 7. PYY was greater at 120 minutes (p=0.006) and 180 minutes (p=0.001) on day 1 and at 180 minutes on day 7 (p=0.03) after the EB. The bariatric surgery studies examined 835 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients and 766 vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) patients. Study one focused on patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The acute effect bariatric surgery had on resolving T2D was measured by calculating the number of patients who discontinued their hypoglycemic medication use post-operatively. Upon discharge, 95 of the 123 (77.2%) RYGB patients and 107 of the 139 (77.0%) VSG patients had been taken off their medication. Eight weeks post-operatively, 30 of the 38 (~79%) RYGB patients and 59 of the 71 (83%) VSG patients with follow-up data remained off medication. Study two examined differences in weight loss, early post-operative surgical complications, and insurance coverage between RYGB and VSG patients. RYGB patients lost more weight at one and two years (p<0.001 for both). There was no significant difference in the percentage of weight loss or complications in insured versus self-pay patients. RYGB patients experienced a higher incidence of major complications than VSG patients (p<0.001).

▼ A prospective randomized study of preoperative administration of methylprednisolone in patients with severe clinical obesity who are going to be submitted for bariatric surgery. Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery stimulates an intense systemic inflammatory response which might increase postoperative morbidity. Corticosteroids may reduce this inflammatory reaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate any possible effect on postoperative morbidity and patient recovery after administrating a single dose of methylprednisolone in super-obese patients prior to open bariatric surgery. Methods: Sixty super-obese patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 (mean 57.48 ± 7.33), mean age of 39 ± 9 years and various co-morbidities, who underwent a variant of biliopancreatic diversion with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (BPD–RYGB-LL) at our institution, were enrolled in the study. The participants were blindly allocated to a preoperative single dose of 30 mg/kg (ideal body weight) methylprednisolone (group A, 30 patients) versus placebo (group B, 30 patients). The end points of the study included the assessment of IL-6 and CRP serum levels, the documentation of postoperative complications and the evaluation of the postoperative health and recovery status (pulmonary function, pain management, nausea and vomiting). Results: Significant improvement in spirometry parameters and arterial blood gas analysis, in the first and third postoperative days, was observed to methylprednisolone group. Concomitantly IL-6 and CRP levels were significantly lower in that group. The administration of methylprednisolone was associated with statistically significant, less postoperative pain, nausea. Conclusions: Preoperative administration of a single high dose of methylprednisolone in super obese patients undergoing open bariatric surgery, inhibits the inflammatory signaling cascade, lessens the systemic inflammatory response and results in fewer postoperative complications and better patient recovery.

▼ Background and aims: Bariatric surgery, the most effective method for the long-term treatment of morbid obesity, exerts beneficial effects on glucose metabolism. The possible underlying mechanisms include massive loss of fat mass, restricted caloric intake and changes in gut hormones. The aim of our study was to compare the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on glucose, insulin resistance, as well as ghrelin, PYY and GLP-1 levels.Materials and methods: Twenty-eight morbidly obese patients were consecutively recruited, of which 11 underwent RYGB (age: 38.6±8.2 years; BMI: 48±6 kg/m2), and 17 SG (age: 41.3±8.1 years; BMI: 50.7±7.3 kg/m2, p=NS vs RYGB). They were examined preoperatively, as well as 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Blood samples were drawn before, and 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min after consumption of a mixed meal for the measurement of glucose, insulin, triglycerides, ghrelin, PYY and GLP-1. Insulin resistance was estimated with the HOMA-IR index. Postprandial responses were expressed as area under the curve (AUC).Results: There were no preoperative differences between groups in any of the parameters. Both experienced significant and comparable weight loss postoperatively. Amelioration of glucose metabolism, as well as reduction of insulin resistance was observed after both surgeries. RYGB had a beneficial effect in terms of lipid metabolism when compared with SG. Fasting ghrelin levels decreased after SG (Ghrelin_preop_SG: 223.2±77 vs 3months: 129.3±20.9, 6months: 106.4±15.8, 12months: 128±19.8 pg/mL, all p<0.02 vs preop), while they were increased at 12 months (p=0.04 vs preop) after RYGB. Ghrelin postprandial response was decreased significantly at 6 and 12 months after SG (both p<0.01), with nonsignificant changes after RYGB. Postprandial PYY response was increased at 3, 6, and 12 months after RYGB (PYY_AUC_preop_RYGB: 11406.7±4593.9 vs 3months: 19187.4±5617.5, 6months: 22405.8±8259.2, 12months: 24940.6±9399.1 pg•min/mL, all p≤0.02), and only at 3 months after SG (p=0.016). Finally, postprandial GLP-1 levels were significantly higher in the RYGB group compared to that after SG at 6 months (GLP-1_AUC_6months_RYGB: 9966±2137.9 vs SG: 7507.7±3011.1 pM•min, p=0.046). Lipidemic profil was reduced only after RYGB.Conclusion: RYGB and SG induce distinctly differing gut hormone responses, the first leading to a pronounced increase in PYY, and the second to a decrease in ghrelin. However, the satiety-inducing effects of both lead to comparable effects on weight loss, glucose dynamics, and insulin sensitivity. It seems that weight loss per se is the primary driving force behind these metabolic improvements, while gut hormones play a secondary role. RYGB exerts also a beneficial effect in terms of fasting and postprandial lipidemia.

▼ Bariatric surgery is among the most effective treatments for obesity, but 10-20% of patients fail to achieve sufficient weight loss or to maintain weight loss over time. This variability in outcomes may be associated with variability in adherence to treatment instructions after
bariatric surgery. The first aim of this thesis was to identify psychosocial predictors of post-operative adherence that can be addressed through psychological interventions. A systematic review (Chapter 2) was conducted to consolidate current literature of clinically malleable psychosocial factors associated with post-operative adherence. The review indicated that depression is commonly linked to poorer adherence, and self-efficacy was associated with better adherence, although the literature overall was fairly sparse. Next, a pilot study (Chapter 3) and a longitudinal study (Chapter 4) were conducted to identify psychosocial predictors of post-operative adherence. The cross-sectional pilot study found that higher self-efficacy and more positive beliefs about adherence were associated with better adherence, and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with poorer adherence. The longitudinal study (with 6- and 12-month follow-ups) found that baseline self-efficacy predicted better dietary and exercise adherence at the 6-month follow-up. Conversely, baseline anxiety about weight regain predicted poorer adherence to follow-up appointments. Adherence to dietary and exercise instructions, follow-up appointments, and support groups at the 6-month follow-up was positively predictive of adherence at the 12-month follow-up which, in turn, was associated with better treatment outcomes (weight loss, quality of life, improvements in comorbidities).The second aim of this thesis was to qualitatively explore patient perspectives on psychological services in the
bariatric setting (Chapter 5). Participants reported believing that psychological care is essential for treatment success and indicated that they wanted support with adjusting to lifestyle, self-identity, and relationship changes after
surgery. Participants suggested that psychological aftercare should be recommended by their medical team and incorporated into standard patient management after
bariatric surgery. Taken together, the findings of this thesis suggest that there may be value in providing psychological care to patients after
bariatric surgery to address psychosocial factors that are associated with adherence and to offer support in patients’ adjustment to life after
bariatric surgery.

▼ Despite what is known about risk factors, preventive
treatment, and increased prevalence of fragility fractures in
post-
bariatric surgical patients, little is known about how patient
views of osteoporosis inform their commitment to bone health. The
purpose of this research was to examine the lived experience of
osteoporosis risk in people who have had
bariatric surgery. The
specific aims were to understand: 1. What it means to live with the
risk of osteoporosis after
bariatric surgery 2. The perceptions of
osteoporosis risks postoperatively. This study used interpretive
phenomenology to explore osteoporosis from the perspective of
bariatric surgery patients. Purposive and snowball sampling was
used to recruit individuals at risk for osteoporosis and a history
of
bariatric surgery. Eligibility criteria required participants to
be female, over the age of 18 and understand and speak English. The
study consisted of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 14
participants. Using open-ended questions, the interviews were audio
recorded and transcribed. Study aims were addressed using
strategies outlined by Diekelmann, Allen, & Tanner (1989).
Findings are described under the relational theme of Looking out
for Self, and supported by three subthemes Understanding,
Protecting, and Preventing. This research provided an understanding
of the risk of osteoporosis from the constructed realities and
experiences of those who had
bariatric surgery. Osteoporosis risk
after
bariatric surgery was not well known by participants.
Furthermore, participants did not understand that vitamin
deficiency can lead to osteoporosis. Participants perceived little
to no risk of osteoporosis. Patients need to be aware of the risks
of
bariatric surgery; without this understanding of awareness about
osteoporosis and risk of fracture, uncertainty will remain as to
how to enhance osteoporosis prevention efforts in this
population.

▼ Background: Many patients eligible for bariatric surgery in Australia do not have private health insurance, which creates significant pressure on the public system, with prolonged wait-list times. Public hospital service use by this patient group is under-investigated. Australia-wide, public hospitals perform a higher proportion of revisional procedures than private hospitals (36% vs 25%), possibly limiting access to primary procedures. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of bariatric surgery provision in the Tasmanian public sector on public hospital service use, particularly hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) presentation rates and to identify and describe revisional surgery pathways, including subsequent re-revisions.
Methods: A statewide retrospective cohort study was conducted of public hospital service use by all Tasmanian patients on the wait-list for publicly funded bariatric surgery from 2008 to 2013. Multiple administrative databases and data linked with the Tasmanian Death Registry were used.
Rates of hospital admissions in 2006–2014 and ED presentations in 2000–2014 were compared for operated-on patients and those who dropped-out of the wait-list. Public hospital service use was analysed in different periods: prior to wait-list placement, while on the wait-list, and after removal from the wait-list either after having a bariatric procedure or dropping out without surgery. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for groups and periods comparisons were derived using a negative binomial regression mixed-effects model adjusted for sex, age and non-independent observation periods.
Hospital service use was analysed for primary vs revisional bariatric surgery recipients using similar methods.
A systematic review of revisional surgery outcomes, such as subsequent revisions and complication rates, was performed, including papers following at least 75% of patients for 12 months or more.
Results: The cohort study identified 652 patients wait-listed for primary bariatric surgery, of whom 178 (27.3%) had bariatric surgery and 236 (36.2%) dropped-out from the wait-list. Together, these patients had 3,120 public hospital admissions and 5,149 ED presentations. Number of days in hospital per year was higher for the dropped-out patients than for surgery recipients while on the wait-list (IRR 2.22, 95% CI 1.36–3.61). Hospital admission rates did not increase post-surgery (IRR 1.08, 95% CI 0.83–1.41) but days admitted per year did increase (IRR 1.53, 95% CI 1.01–2.34). ED presentation rates did not change significantly post-surgery compared with the waiting period (IRR 1.19, 95% CI 0.90–1.56). Presentation rates significantly increased for digestive system (IRR 2.02, 95% CI 1.19–3.45) and psychiatric diseases (IRR 4.85, 95% CI 1.06–22.26) after surgery. The likelihood of being admitted from the ED significantly increased after surgery (31.7% to 38.9%, p<0.05).
A total of 95 patients wait-listed for revisional surgery were identified; 91 (95.2%) of the patients were…

▼ BACKGROUND: Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), a complication of gastric bypass surgery, is characterized by postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. To date, the etiology of PBH has not been fully elucidated.
OBJECTIVE: To develop a murine model of PBH by experimentally modifying candidate molecules identified in humans with PBH.
METHODS: Gastric bypass patients were assigned to groups based on whether or not they suffered from hypoglycemia (PBH, n = 11; asymptomatic, n = 7). Patients underwent a mixed meal tolerance test with blood draws at baseline, 30 minutes, and 120 minutes postprandially. SOMAscan (Somalogic) was used to evaluate serum for protein levels. In parallel, mass spectrometry (Metabolon) was used to examine metabolite levels. Mice were treated with the Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) agonist, fexaramine (Fex), or vehicle for 5 days before undergoing a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Mice were sacrificed with tissues collected immediately thereafter. PCR was performed to quantify expression of FXR target genes. A separate cohort of mice was treated with adenine or vehicle for 2 days before undergoing a GTT or an insulin tolerance test.
RESULTS: FGF19 was the most significantly upregulated protein in the PBH group at all time points. At 120 minutes postprandially, FGF19 was 2.1-fold higher in the PBH group (p < 1x10-5). Adenine was >2-fold higher at all time points (p < 1x10-8). Treatment with
Fex did not result in significant differences during GTT or in expression of FXR target genes. Treatment with adenine did not significantly impact glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity between groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the human serum analyses established a strong foundation on which to develop a murine model of PBH. Though the mouse experiments failed to induce postprandial hypoglycemia, they have directed future experiments toward developing a murine model of PBH.

▼ IntroductionThe incidence of endometrial cancer is
rising steeply, with the obesity epidemic believed to be the cause.
Women with a BMI > 42kg/m2 have a 9-fold increase in their
relative risk of endometrial cancer. Few studies have investigated
the endometrial effects of obesity or weight loss. I hypothesised
that morbidly obese women had a high prevalence of undiagnosed
endometrial cancer and pre-cancer, and that major weight loss would
result in measurable systemic and endometrial effects. Methods118
morbidly obese women undergoing weight loss
surgery or non-surgical
weight management were recruited into a prospective cohort study.
Blood and endometrial samples were taken at baseline, 2 and 12
months.Results80 women have undergone baseline assessment (mean age
44 years, median BMI 52kg/m2). Menstrual and reproductive
dysfunction was common (15% pre-menopausal amenorrhoea, 31%
oligomenorrhoea) and less than one third reported regular menstrual
cycles. Four cases of endometrial cancer and six of atypical
endometrial hyperplasia were detected at baseline (prevalence
12.5%, 95% CI 6.2-21.8), and women with abnormal endometrium had
significantly higher HbA1c and pAKT levels. Undiagnosed diabetes
was found in 6%, and overall more than 38% were diabetic and up to
40% more had raised HOMA-IR levels.Significant serial improvements
were seen in insulin resistance, adipokines, inflammation and
androgens after
bariatric surgery. In endometrium significant
reductions were seen in Ki-67, pAKT, ER and PR expression. In
samples matched for cycle timing and not affected by exogenous
hormone treatment Ki-67 reduced by 11% and 17% at 2 and 12 months
post-
surgery. AEH resolved with weight loss alone in 3/6 patients
and with weight loss and LNG-IUS in 2/6 women. Ki-67 expression
correlated weakly with pAKT, serum oestradiol, HOMA-IR, FAI and
adipokines.ConclusionsSuch a high prevalence of endometrial cancer
and pre-cancer in morbidly obese women supports targeted screening
in this high-risk group and highlights the importance of diagnosing
and managing insulin resistance. Reduction in proliferation appears
to be mediated by the PI3K/AKT pathway and through changes in
insulin resistance, reproductive hormones and inflammation. Ki-67
may have a use as a marker of the ‘high-risk’ endometrium or in the
future surveillance of endometrial abnormality being managed by
fertility-sparing means.

▼ BACKGROUND: Over two-thirds of the United States population is considered overweight or obese. Bariatric surgery is often used when conservative weight loss measures fail. The majority of bariatric surgeries are performed on women of childbearing age. Women who become pregnant following bariatric surgery have a decreased occurrence of gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders and macrosomia, but they also have an increased risk of small for gestational age infants (SGA), with the greatest risk of SGA infants following malabsorptive and mixed bariatric surgery procedures.
STUDY: A gap in the literature exists regarding the risks of SGA and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) compared to sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the two most common procedures in the United States in 2014. This study will be a multi-center retrospective cohort study that will identify the risk of IUGR following RYGB and SG.
CONCLUSION: This study will improve our understanding of the effects on pregnancy following RYGB and SG. The most innovative, and hardest, part of this study will be the collection of data on as many SG women as possible. This will be the biggest hurdle because SG is a relatively new procedure, so the prevalence of pregnancy following SG is low.
PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE: A better understanding of the effects of the most common bariatric procedural types on pregnancy is important given the prevalence of bariatric surgery among women of childbearing age. It will allow bariatric surgeons to better council their patients on a surgery type for those that may be considering pregnancy afterwards, and enable obstetricians to have a better understanding of the risks associated with their patient’s pregnancy.

▼ Background: Overweight and obesity has increased worldwide and is a leading cause of preventable death. This has led to the quantity of bariatric surgical procedures in Sweden increasing. Research has identified significant medical benefits such as long-term weight loss, improved risk factors and significant reduction of mortality resulting from the surgery, however research focusing on the experiences of patients has not been undertaken to the same degree. The increasing incidence of overweight and obesity suggest that this patient group will continue to increase each year. Knowledge about the experience of bariatric surgery, including the challenges it represents from the patients’ perspective, is essential for nurses in order to provide the best possible care. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the patient’s experiences after undergoing bariatric surgery beyond the initial post-operative period of 6 months. Method: This study has been conducted as a literature review of nine qualitative scientific nursing articles. The data was analysed by conducting a manifest content analysis. Result: The results found that experiences after bariatric surgery beyond the initial post-operative period were both positive and negative. How the individuals adapted to the changes the surgery entailed was found to be a strong factor in determining the nature of the experience. Two main categories emerged from the data; ‘Enforced Structure’ and ‘A Complete Transformation’. Conclusion: Undergoing bariatric surgery results in extensive and complex changes for this patient group to adapt to. Exploring their experiences has allowed factors for successful and challenging adaption to these changes to be identified. Nursing professionals can use this knowledge to help guide bariatric patients towards a successful adaption to the multitude of changes that surgery encompasses.

▼ Bakgrund: Överviktsoperationer ökar i snabb takt runt om i världen i samband med en eskalerande fetmaepidemi. En överviktsoperation innebär stora förändringar i livet och ställer krav på att sjukvårdspersonal är kunniga om dessa förändringar ur patientens perspektiv. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa patienters upplevelser före och efter överviktskirurgi. Metod: 13 vetenskapliga artiklar granskades och analyserades. Sammanställningen resulterade i ett tema och fem presenterade underkategorier. Resultat: Överviktskirurgi blev en sista chans till ett bättre liv för patienterna. De hade förväntningar på ett förändrat liv, som i många fall till stor besvikelse inte blev bättre. Patienterna upplevde att den mentala hälsan blev åsidosatt vid överviktskirurgi, varav de önskade att vårdpersonalen la mer fokus på just detta. Slutsats: Då överviktskirurgi är en livsomvälvande process är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan har förståelse för patientens hela upplevelse, även den känslomässiga.
Background: The number of bariatric surgeries performed globally is increasing in relation to an escalating obesity epidemic. Bariatric surgery leads to life-changing processes and put demands on health care staff to have knowledge about these changes from the patients’ perspective. Purpose: The purpose of the literature review was to illuminate patients’ experiences before and after bariatric surgery. Method: Thirteen scientific articles were reviewed and analysed. The combination resulted in a theme and five presented subcategories. Results: Bariatric surgery became the last chance to a better life for the patients. They had expectations of a changed life, which in many cases to great disappointment didn’t became better. The patients experienced that the mental health was disacknowledged while going through bariatric surgery and was something they wished that the health care staff had focused more on. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is a life-changing process, why it’s important for the nurse to understand the experiences of the patient, even the emotional experience.

▼ Introduction: The incidence of endometrial cancer is rising steeply, with the obesity epidemic believed to be the cause. Women with a BMI > 42kg/m2 have a 9-fold increase in their relative risk of endometrial cancer. Few studies have investigated the endometrial effects of obesity or weight loss. I hypothesised that morbidly obese women had a high prevalence of undiagnosed endometrial cancer and pre-cancer, and that major weight loss would result in measurable systemic and endometrial effects. Methods: 118 morbidly obese women undergoing weight loss surgery or non-surgical weight management were recruited into a prospective cohort study. Blood and endometrial samples were taken at baseline, 2 and 12 months. Results: 80 women have undergone baseline assessment (mean age 44 years, median BMI 52kg/m2). Menstrual and reproductive dysfunction was common (15% pre-menopausal amenorrhoea, 31% oligomenorrhoea) and less than one third reported regular menstrual cycles. Four cases of endometrial cancer and six of atypical endometrial hyperplasia were detected at baseline (prevalence 12.5%, 95% CI 6.2-21.8), and women with abnormal endometrium had significantly higher HbA1c and pAKT levels. Undiagnosed diabetes was found in 6%, and overall more than 38% were diabetic and up to 40% more had raised HOMA-IR levels. Significant serial improvements were seen in insulin resistance, adipokines, inflammation and androgens after bariatric surgery. In endometrium significant reductions were seen in Ki-67, pAKT, ER and PR expression. In samples matched for cycle timing and not affected by exogenous hormone treatment Ki-67 reduced by 11% and 17% at 2 and 12 months post-surgery. AEH resolved with weight loss alone in 3/6 patients and with weight loss and LNG-IUS in 2/6 women. Ki-67 expression correlated weakly with pAKT, serum oestradiol, HOMA-IR, FAI and adipokines. Conclusions: Such a high prevalence of endometrial cancer and pre-cancer in morbidly obese women supports targeted screening in this high-risk group and highlights the importance of diagnosing and managing insulin resistance. Reduction in proliferation appears to be mediated by the PI3K/AKT pathway and through changes in insulin resistance, reproductive hormones and inflammation. Ki-67 may have a use as a marker of the 'high-risk' endometrium or in the future surveillance of endometrial abnormality being managed by fertility-sparing means.

▼ The prevalence of obesity is increasing globally. Obesity is characterized by increased fat mass and is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Obesity is associated with hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. Currently, the most effective and durable treatment for obesity and its comorbidities is bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery changes food intake, energy balance and the composition of gut microbiota. Bariatric surgery can lower blood glucose and put T2D into remission. It was unknown if bariatric surgery-induced changes in the gut microbiota was an independent yet sufficient factor to lower blood glucose. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed on conventional (specific-pathogen-free, SPF) and germ-free (GF) mice using fecal material obtained from patients before surgery and 12 months after bariatric surgery. We tested FMT into mice from the same patients before and after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSL) and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). FMT did not alter body weight, fat mass, glucose tolerance or glucose transporter mRNA expression in all intestine segments in SPF mice. FMT lowered blood glucose during an oral glucose load in GF mice receiving bacteria after VSL and BPD/DS bariatric surgery. Post-BPD/DS surgery FMT decreased Glut1 transcript level in the ileum and increased Glut1 transcript level in the TA muscle of GF mice, but did not change GLUT1 protein levels. Post-BPD/DS surgery FMT also decreased goblet cell count, villus height and crypt depth in the ileum of GF mice. We conclude that changes in the gut microbiota caused by bariatric surgery is a standalone factor that can lower blood glucose and alter gut morphology.
Thesis
Master of Science (MSc)
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that involves high blood sugar (i.e. glucose), which can damage many parts of the body leading to serious complications. Diabetes is a growing global problem and is the seventh leading cause of death. Obesity is one of the largest factors leading to type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery reduces obesity and is to date the most effective method to lower blood glucose and reverse type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery alters gut anatomy and the types of bacteria that inhabit the gut. Gut bacteria can change obesity and blood glucose levels, but it was not known if the bacterial community present after bariatric surgery was a factor that is sufficient to lower blood glucose. We found that transferring gut bacteria from humans after bariatric surgery into mice lowers the blood glucose and alters the gut barrier structure where food is absorbed. It is not yet clear how this happens, but these findings show that a change in gut microbes is a standalone factor that can alter host blood glucose. Finding the glucose lowering factor in bacteria may be a new treatment to combat type 2 diabetes.

Changes in gastrointestinal hormones, leptin, and satiety after gastric bypass surgery.

▼ The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a well-accepted tool for the treatment of obesity and compared to conventional weight loss methods (e.g. diet and exercise) and other weight loss surgeries (e.g. gastric banding), it results in considerable weight loss that is maintained long-term. Although successful, the mechanisms for weight loss are not completely understood and it is thought that favorable changes in several gastrointestinal (GI) hormones and satiety play a role. Previous research suggests that the satiety promoting hormones, GLP-1 and PYY increase after RYGB, while the orexigenic GI hormone ghrelin and the adipocytokine leptin decrease. These changes generally occur before substantial weight loss, suggesting that a component of the surgery is responsible. Subjective satiety has also been reported to increase after RYGB, likely because of changes in the GI hormones and due to the reduced stomach capacity after surgery, but it is not clear if this alteration is maintained long-term. In addition, it is currently not well understood what effect different macronutrients have on the GI hormones and subjective satiety in the post-RYGB patient population. From a clinical perspective, there is a need for understanding how various macronutrients affect these parameters, as this is useful information that might allow for improved dietary treatment recommendations after RYGB. In the first study, changes in the GI hormones and leptin were evaluated after RYGB. This study also assessed if the GI hormones differed after a short-term dose of protein (PRO-BEV) or fat (FAT-BEV). GLP-1, PYY, ghrelin, and leptin were assessed in 16 women before and at 2, 6, 26, and 52 weeks after RYGB. GLP-1 increased at Weeks 6 and 52 in the FAT-BEV group compared to before surgery. PYY remained elevated at Week 52 in the FAT-BEV group. Ghrelin decreased at Weeks 2, 6, and 52 in the PRO-BEV group compared with Pre-RYGB. Ghrelin was lower in the PRO-BEV group compared with the FAT-BEV group at Week 6. Fasted leptin decreased at all visits in both groups and was lower in the FAT-BEV compared with the PRO-BEV group at Week 52. In the second study, subjective satiety was evaluated before and after RYGB. This study also assessed if subjective satiety differed after a dose of either protein or fat and investigated if subjective satiety, the GI hormones, and/or weight loss are related. Subjective satiety was not different between treatment groups. Satiety increased at the Week 2 visit compared to before surgery. Satiety scores had generally returned to Pre-RYGB levels after the Week 6 visit. Subjective satiety was not related to any of the GI hormones. Weight loss was unrelated to subjective satiety and the GI hormones. Results from these studies indicate that favorable changes occur after RYGB for the GI hormones/leptin and subjective satiety; some differences were evident soon after surgery (ghrelin, leptin, subjective satiety) while others were maintained long-term (GLP-1, PYY, ghrelin, leptin). In response to a short-term stimulus, protein…

▼ How do
bariatric patients make sense of the medical,
aesthetic, and moral discourses related to fat, health, and
illness? How are patients’ identities shifted as their bodies
change throughout the
bariatric surgery process? To answer these
questions, I interviewed 35
bariatric patients at various stages of
their
bariatric careers. I divide my findings into three chapters.
First, I describe the
bariatric process using Goffman’s concept of
the moral career and Foucault’s ideas about discipline. The moral
career of the
bariatric patient proceeds through 4 stages: the
pre-
surgery process, recovery, the honeymoon stage, and the
struggle stage. I argue that
bariatric surgery utilizes two types
of disciplinary technology: (1) a discursive process where patients
are socialized into health behaviors and must prove themselves
morally worthy of
surgery; (2) an embodied process where patients’
digestive tracts are modified to punish them for straying from “the
program.” Next, I focus on the illness experience of
bariatric
patients. Before
surgery, patients experience their bodies as
chronically ill and lacking in freedom. They describe fitness and
pain issues which limit their day-to-day mobility. They also count
down their prescription medications as an important symbol of
health and illness. After
surgery, patients do not view the
symptoms of
bariatric surgery (such as vomiting, chest pain,
diarrhea, constipation, hair loss, etc.) as illness but instead as
worth it in the end, as something to adjust to, and as useful tools
for weight loss. After that, I explore the relationship between
health, appearance, and stigma, and how this relationship is
impacted by intersecting identities of race, class, gender, and
age.
Bariatric patients describe their often-contradictory
experience of the Western aesthetic of health;
bariatric patients
carry a highly visible fat stigma which is believed to convey their
health status, yet they often view appearance as less important
than health. Even after losing weight, many patients continue to
carry a discreditable identity, in part due to the visible markers
of their former obese status on their bodies—i.e., loose skin and
plastic
surgery scars. Finally, I tie my findings together using
the concepts of obese embodied identity and
bariatric embodied
identity. I conclude with a discussion of the theoretical
implications and limitations of this study and propose future
research.

▼ The incidence of obesity is on the rise globally and is associated with many comorbidities, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for weight loss and reducing obesity-associated morbidity. The most common
bariatric surgeries are roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). RYGB and SG are equally efficacious at long-term reduction of weight in obese individuals and amelioriation of T2DM. Interestingly, the improvement of glucose regulation is noted before weight loss is observed. The most likely mechanism underlying glucose homeostasis after
bariatric surgery is hormonal changes in the intestine. Enteroendrocrine changes favorable of an anti-diabetic profile are noted after only a few days of receiving either RYGB or SG
surgery. Most consistently, elevated postprandial GLP-1, a potent regulator of appetite and glucose control, is observed in post-
bariatric surgery patients. However, data is limited regarding post-prandial GLP-1 levels beyond two years after
surgery. This study will address the gap in literature by assessing postprandial elevations of GLP-1 following RYGB or SG for up to five years. We will recruit obese type-2 diabetics from an outpatient
bariatric surgery clinic at Boston Medical Center scheduled to receive RYGB or SG and periodically assess postprandial GLP-1 levels to determine if they remain elevated after 5 years. Additionally, we will provide evidence if there is a correlation among changes in postprandial GLP-1, weight loss, and hemoglobin A1c at five years. Our proposed study will help direct researchers to develop safer and more efficacious interventions for obesity and T2DM.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the
existence of protocols available for perioperative nutritional care
practice in accredited
bariatric surgical centers, and determine
current perioperative nutritional care practices for patients
undergoing
bariatric surgery. Descriptive study using an electronic
survey of
bariatric dietitians in accredited
bariatric surgical
centers. A total of 48
bariatric dietitians participated (response
rate 52%). Descriptive statistics and content analysis were
obtained. The majority (94.2%) felt that a standardized protocol
addressing perioperative nutritional management of the
bariatric
population was either very important or extremely important.
Respondents at 91.5% of institutions reported availability of
protocols for preoperative nutrition care, and 91.5% of
institutions had protocols for postoperative nutrition care.
One-quarter (23.4%) reported availability of perioperative
nutrition care protocols for patient-specific subpopulations.
Respondents had divergent attitudes towards their institution's
current perioperative nutrition management practices. The majority
(91.4%) believed they had enough knowledge of different surgical
procedures to provide safe and appropriate nutrition care to their
patients. Practice variation was seen among respondents for
perioperative nutrition risk screening. Standardization of
perioperative nutritional care protocols was universally considered
important. There were written protocols available for perioperative
nutrition care in the majority of surveyed institutions; however,
the content of these protocols was not standardized. Low awareness
of perioperative nutrition care protocols for patient-specific
subpopulations was found. The survey highlights divergences in
respondents' attitudes toward their institution's current
perioperative nutrition management practices. There are important
discrepancies between surveyed respondents' practices relative to
perioperative nutrition risk screening and the available
evidence.

▼ Purpose: The authors' aim in this study was to gain insight on the psychological risk factors related to weight loss following bariatric surgery.
Method: The authors used archival data of 137 participants who underwent both a psychological pre-assessment and bariatric surgery and attended a post-operative appointment at least six months following surgery. The factors examined at the psychological pre-assessment included alcohol abuse, smoking, exercise, binge eating, depression, stress, social support, dieting history, and history of sexual abuse. These factors were examined in relation to weight loss success defined as 50% loss of excess weight at follow-up.
Main Findings: No significant relationships were found between weight loss success and the predictor variables.
Conclusions: The researchers evaluated the present study results in relation to previous literature on bariatric surgery. Several limitations were evaluated, including examiner bias, participant population, and the assessment tool used. Areas of future research included examining alcohol consumption, exercise behavior, and binging and purging after surgery.

▼ Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) are the two most popular
bariatric surgical methods. In Germany, LSG outperforms LRYGB in the number and growth of operations. Nevertheless, LRYGB proves to be more effective in reducing body weight and improving comorbidities. The aim of this study is to analyze the benefits of the two intervention procedures in terms of weight loss, comorbidities, quality of life and postoperative complications in patients of Center for obesity and metabolic
surgery – Berlin Charité.
Methods: The weight progression and preoperative clinical status of 370 patients were obtained. Postoperative comorbidities, clinical status and quality of life were recorded in 239 patients by means of a postal questionnaire and subsequently compared according to the course of time and intervention procedures performed.
Result: In terms of weight reduction, LRYGB is significantly more effective (p<0.05) than LSG up to 36 months postoperatively. Subsequently (> 36 months postoperatively) weight regain was observed after both interventions. In the improvement of arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome there were no significant differences between the surgical methods. A constant improvement in comorbidities was observed over time after LSG. Similar results were achieved by patients after LRYGB. However, a significantly higher remission rate was observed in type 2 diabetics after 36 months compared to those under 36 months postoperatively (71.4% vs. 52.9%, p=0.032).
Both short-term (< 36 months) and long-term (> 36 months) quality of life in patients with LRYGB and LSG did not differ significantly. Over time, a statistically significant decrease in quality of life was observed after both interventions.
There was no statistically significant difference in the complication rate between LRYGB and LSG patients in the first 30 postoperative days.
Summary: In view of the available results, in this study the LRYGB has proven to be the more effective method for weight loss in the first three postoperative years than the LSG. There is no difference between the intervention procedures in terms of long-term weight loss, improvement in obesity-associated comorbidities and quality of life, and complication rate in the first 30 postoperative days.
For a final assessment, further prospective randomized trials are required to assess the potential superiority of one of the respective surgical procedures and the long-term postoperative course.

▼ Objectives: Obesity in the U.S. population is a major public health problem with important clinical and economic implications.
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective long-term weight loss treatment for morbid obesity but less than 2% of the potentially eligible population has undergone the procedure. Our aims were to: 1) determine the patient characteristics associated with receiving a
bariatric procedure among eligible patients; 2) identify patient characteristics that could be used as predictors of resource use and costs in severely obese patients with and without
bariatric surgery; and 3) estimate and project the differences in long-term costs and outcomes across different clinically defined populations undergoing
bariatric surgery compared to non-surgical approaches, refining a previously developed cost-effectiveness model. Methods: We used electronic medical records from members of Group Health Cooperative, based in Washington State to identify severely obese individuals, eligible for
bariatric surgery, from 2004 to 2010. The probability of undergoing
bariatric surgery was assessed using multivariate logistic regression adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as patterns of practice. To determine the predictors of costs, we used generalized linear models for both groups with similar adjustment variables. We created a propensity score matched cohort based on specific characteristics previously identified at the date of
surgery and the assigned index date for those who did not have
surgery. Finally, we used these data to update a previously developed cost-effectiveness model to re-estimate the cost-effectiveness of
bariatric surgery compared to non-surgical interventions. Results: A total of 48,166 subjects were identified as eligible for
bariatric surgery. Only 1,129 had
bariatric surgery. The characteristics associated with having a
bariatric procedure were: having insurance coverage for the procedure (OR=5.61; 4.71-6.68), higher body mass index (BMI) (1.10; 1.09-1.11), and older age (1.00; 1.00-1.01). The presence of comorbidities was associated with higher odds of having
surgery. Examining comorbidities individually, only coronary heart disease was not associated with the
surgery (0.96; 0.74-1.26). These characteristics changed over time, showing time trends towards increasing numbers of older adults and subjects with lower BMI having the procedure in the recent years. For costs, total annual costs were higher prior to
surgery in the
bariatric surgery group but decreased more (in absolute and relative terms) after the
surgery compared to the non-surgical group. The total health care costs post-
surgery for both groups were primarily driven by inpatient costs. The presence of comorbid conditions was associated with greater annual total costs in both groups. Major cardiovascular risk factors, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and a higher comorbidity index, were associated with the highest increase in mean annual total costs. Despite being more expensive,…

▼ Introduction: Weight loss surgery is the primary intervention offered by the NHS for patients with morbid obesity and associated health conditions (Welbourn, Fiennes & Kinsman, 2014). There are relatively few studies looking at candidates' experiences of this and only one since the implementation of NHS commissioning guidance (2013) for weight loss surgery pathways. This study therefore sought to explore this. It focused specifically on candidates' experiences of pre-surgical assessment, their hopes for life after surgery and how they have prepared for this. Method: The study followed a qualitative design using a mixed inductive and deductive thematic analysis (Braun & Clark, 2006 & Boyatzis, 1998). Participants (N=11) were adults aged 18 or over, who were accessing weight loss surgery in a specialist NHS obesity service in the south of England. Semi-structured interviews were completed with participants to explore their experiences of their weight loss surgery journey so far. Results: Six overarching themes were identified capturing what participants' decisions to pursue weight loss surgery were grounded in, their experiences of specialist obesity services, their conceptualization of weight loss surgery, their hopes and expectations for life after surgery, the roles of family and friends within their weight loss surgery journey, and finally, participants' plans and preparations for life thereafter. Discussion: The results highlighted the additional hopes which candidates hold for weight loss surgery, beyond weight loss and improvements in physical health. The complex nature of participants' relationship with themselves, eating and weight was illustrated and how this impacts expectations and subsequent preparation for surgery. The clinical and theoretical implications are discussed, as well as future directions for research in this area.

▼ Restraint, Disinhibition and Hunger eating behaviours have been examined in relation to three metabolic surgical procedures commonly performed to treat severe obesity: adjustable gastric banding (AGB), gastric bypass (GBP), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). No study to date has compared the effects of these three procedures in relation to eating behaviours. Severely obese adults, with guidance from their doctor, choose between the procedure types. Little is known about how procedure choices are made. The primary study aim was to investigate eating behaviours associated with AGB, GBP and SG procedures and to identify associations between eating behaviours and weight loss. Secondary aims were to discover factors that influence patients’ choice and expectations of their procedure; perceptions of the mechanisms of metabolic surgery; whether perceptions changed after surgery; and whether patients considered they were fully informed before undergoing metabolic surgical procedures. This was a before and after (one year) study of severely obese patients from ten sites in the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. Restraint, Disinhibition and Hunger were measured using the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire. Height/weight was self-reported. Participants responded to questions concerning procedure choice, expectations and perceptions. Linear Mixed Modelling; Pearson’s Chi Square; McNemar’s test; and content analysis were utilized. Each procedure group showed statistically and clinically significant increases in Restraint and decreases in Disinhibition and Hunger over time. There were non-significant and clinically small differences between procedures for Restraint and Hunger at baseline and one year later. At baseline the AGB Disinhibtion score was statistically higher compared to GBP and SG groups. This was a clinically large difference compared with the GBP group, but only a small clinical difference compared to the SG group. The significant difference and clinically large effect size difference between the AGB and GBP groups was retained after surgery; and was marginally retained when AGB was compared with the SG with a small clinical difference. Disinhibition was the only eating behaviour that was significantly associated with body weight, BMI and the percent of weight loss.

▼ Obesity is a chronic and growing disease defined by weighing 20% or more than the ideal, or having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m
2 or more. While natural weight loss is available, many patients are choosing weight loss
surgery (i.e.,
bariatric surgery) as an alternative to lose weight and reduce their risks for comorbidities such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Tools and resources for post-surgical support in the
bariatric surgery community have been limited and, in the past, most tools and resources for weight loss have focused on non-surgical weight loss communities; as such, analysis methods for measuring success in this population have not been clearly developed and tested. This research proposes and evaluates analysis methods that may be used in such studies. These analysis methods are evaluated using data from the Weight and Exercise Lifestyle Support study at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA. In this study, a group of participants (
n = 6) approved for
bariatric surgery were followed by the research team starting roughly one month before
surgery through three months after
surgery. Participants received pedometers and weight scales, and access to an online patient portal where they could review their physical activity levels, and receive support from others in the study and an exercise consultant. Data collected included pre- and post-study dietary and exercise self-efficacy levels, self-reported and objective physical activity measures, self-reported dietary adherence, device usage, and usability and satisfaction with the program. This research evaluates whether the proposed measures can help determine the presence and nature of the relationships between the aforementioned variables. If these measures prove to be useful, they can be used in future interventions that use technology to support post-surgical weight loss communities.

▼ The research program outlined in this thesis has focused on identifying the causes of weight-loss failure for primary, revisional and multiple revisional bariatric-surgery patients. Phase One comprised of two qualitative studies and informed Phase Two, a quantitative longitudinal study. The research examined the patients' psychosocial functioning and their perceptions of psychosocial factors that had contributed to these outcomes. The studies confirmed the importance of understanding primary and revisional bariatric surgery patients' needs and vulnerabilities, and identified not only their unique psychosocial factors but combinations of factors, and, the increase in intensity of factors that explained these patients' weight loss trajectories.

▼ A)
Bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity
has shown much promise. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a procedure
that combines both restrictive and malabsorptive elements.
Post-operative weight loss and co-morbidity improvements previously
achieved are over and above those which are seen during life style
modification and drug therapy. 330 patients (2005-2007) with a mean
BMI of 45.87 ± 0.63 were characterised pre-operatively with regard
to clinical, anthropometric and DEXA scan measurements. 130 were
matched for the same parameters post-operatively over a 9-12 month
observation period. The data was analysed statistically using
paired t-tests and regression analyses. Significant post-operative
improvements were observed with regard to patients’ weight loss and
co-morbidity improvement. Positive and significant correlations of
anthropometric measures to biochemical parameters ensued. Risk
factor scoring methodology produced an average total score of 17
points / 36. Average post-op weight loss at 9-12 months follow-up
was 20% of initial pre-op weight. Co-morbid diseases and
anthropometric measurements illustrated significant changes
following
surgery. Risk factor scoring is a valuable pre-op tool
for assessing eligibility for medical aid re-imbursement for
surgery. B) Obesity is a global epidemic and is increasing the
worlds’ mortality rate. Genetic predisposition to obesity is
recognized as being significant. Polymorphisms within the
Melanocortin 4 Receptor (MC4R) gene, which encodes a G-protein
coupled receptor responsible for post-prandial satiety signalling,
have been associated with monogenic obesity. Obesity prevalence in
South Africa is drastically increasing, however there has been no
causative investigation done. Thus we sought to perform an initial
assessment of the prevalence of MC4R polymorphisms within a South
African representative group. Blood was drawn from a mixed Body
Mass Index (BMI) cohort of 259 adult individuals and their DNA was
extracted. The MC4R gene was PCR amplified from the DNA, the
amplicon sequenced and the sequence data was analyzed for
polymorphisms. A polymorphism prevalence of 13.51% was found within
the patients across a BMI range that spanned from underweight
(19.6) to super-obese (126.0). In addition to MC4R polymorphisms
that had been identified previously, two new polymorphisms namely
R7H and S36T were observed. Four haplotypes were also identified.
MC4R mutation frequency was observed to be ethnically dependant;
however the hypothesis of differing ethnic backgrounds illustrating
varying mutational penetrance was not confirmed. The expected trend
regarding MC4R polymorphism functional effect and associated
pathogenicity was not followed in light of our results. The
question of whether or not MC4R polymorphisms contribute to the
development of obesity is indisputable; however the current
accepted trend regarding their precise role may be incorrect and
must be challenged.

▼ Background: Obesity leads to alteration of lung volumes and capacities due to accumulation of fat in the chest wall and abdomen. Few studies have shown that weight loss induced by
surgery improves lung function. Our objective was to evaluate the anthropometric development, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle, strength and endurance after weight loss induced by
bariatric surgery. Methods: We evaluated in pre and post operative period variables of weight, BMI, NC, WHR and spirometric and respiratory pressure. Results: 39 subjects were evaluated, with age mean 35.9 ± 10.9 years, predominantly by women (76.3%). The weight mean decreased from 124.8 ± 17.5 kg to 88.8 ± 14.28 kg in post operative. The mean BMI ranged from 47,9 ± 5,6 Kg/m² to 34,3 ± 4,75 Kg/m². There was a significant increase in FVC from 3,63 ± 0,94 to 4,01±1,03, FEV1 from 3,03 ± 0,72 to 3,39 ± 0,85, FEF 25-75% from 3,41 ± 0,72 to 3,82 ± 0,94, PEF from 6,56 ± 1,47 to 7,81 ± 1,69, ERV from 0,35 ± 0,39 to 0,66 ± 0,38, MVV ranged from 103,43 ± 22,21 to 137,27 ± 29,84, all of them to p<0,01. The MIP and MEP showed no significant difference in pre and post operative. It was noted that for every centimeter reduced in neck circumference, an increase of 0.06 in FVC and 5.98 in MVV is observed. This is also observed in weight and BMI. Conclusion: We conclude that weight loss induced by
bariatric surgery in obese provides a significant improvement in lung function and reduction of fat around the neck is more important in the generation of lung volume than the reduction of BMI

▼ Obesity has become a global problem and an obesity epidemic has risen.
Bariatric surgery has become the first treatment of choice in patients who have a BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 with significant comorbid conditions and patients who have a BMI greater than 40 kg/m2 with or without any significant comorbid conditions.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and (laparoscopic) gastric bypass (GB) are the two procedures mostly performed worldwide. In Chapter 2 LAGB has shown to be a safe procedure, with good mid term weight loss results in the majority (77%) of the patients, but with a high reoperation rate. In Chapter 3 it is shown that after 8 years of follow-up, 39% of the patients were lost to follow-up after LAGB and the majority of these patients (60%) were therapy failures. Long term follow-up of the total LAGB group resulted in a fair outcome in 32% of patients. The most frequent complication and reason for reoperation after LAGB is slippage of the gastric band. Uncertainty exists of the best treatment of a slipped band. In Chapter 4 it is shown that rebanding for slippage is not a prognostic factor for inadequate weight loss. In patients successfully treated by LAGB, rebanding for band slippage should be considered, as good long term success was found in 62% of these patients.
The main benefits of the GB are the high percentage (71%) of successfully treated patients, and the higher percentage of weight loss in the short term (Chapter 5). However, the GB is associated with
surgery related mortality and morbidity. Comparing the two most performed procedures shows that significantly more patients had good treatment results (excess weight loss > 50 %) after a GB than after LAGB (76% versus 40% after 2 years of follow-up, P = 0,03) (Chapter 6). In terms of complications, the most obvious difference existed in severe early complications after GB compared to LAGB (11% vs 0%). In conclusion, the GB compared to LAGB results in increased weight loss, in a higher number of patients, but is associated with a higher incidence of severe early complications. A secondary GB procedure after failed LAGB (40-50%) is a technically more demanding procedure than primary GB. Our study presented in Chapter 7 shows that it can be performed equally safe and effective as a primary GB.
In Chapter 8 we show that reconstructive
surgery after successful
bariatric surgery improves significantly patients’ physical functioning, mental well being, physical appearance, social acceptance, self-efficacy towards eating and intimacy. The contribution of reconstructive
surgery plays a substantial role in the multidisciplinary treatment of the morbidly obese patient.
Bariatric surgery has proven to be safe and the most effective answer to the obesity epidemic. In the near future a new definition of successful
bariatric treatment should be formulated including weight loss, comorbidities and quality of life. This new consensus should be the purpose of future studies and lead to the selection of the…

▼ The dramatic rise of morbid obesity worldwide and the success of
bariatric surgery results in a significant rise in the demand for post-
bariatric body contouring
surgery, a new field in plastic
surgery. This makes a national clinical guideline for patient selection and treatment mandatory. In developing such a guideline, we should get more insight in risk factors for complications, post-
bariatric patient’s concerns and expectations of the postoperative result and the expected result of body contouring
surgery on short and long-term quality of life. The underlying purpose of this thesis is improvement of care for post-
bariatric patients presenting for body-contouring
surgery.
The first part of this thesis focuses on patient selection. In chapter 2 we analyzed the nutritional deficiencies after gastric bypass
surgery. This chapter answers the question at what time most deficiencies occur after the operation and what the value is of preoperative laboratory control. Chapter 3 presents a validation study of the Pittsburgh Rating Scale (PRS). The applicability of this classification system for clinical use in The Netherlands is discussed. The motives, barriers and expectations of massive weight loss patients concerning body contouring
surgery are outlined in chapter 4 and this chapter contains a preoperative checklist, which can be used in the screening of candidates for body contouring
surgery. The second part addresses the question if the quality of life improves on the short (chapter 5) and long-term (chapter 6) after body contouring
surgery. In the third part we focus on post-operative complications. In chapter 7 we analyzed the results of body contouring
surgery in patients after laparoscopic gastric banding and in chapter 8 we studied the complications in post-gastric bypass patients. The last part of this thesis contains a general discussion in which we will provide the overall implications of this thesis and recommendations for the care of the post-
bariatric patient (chapter 9). This thesis is completed with a summary of the results (chapter 10).
