Non-surgical management of Obesity • Background • Diet, exercise and behavioural modification • Pharmacological treatments • Endoscopic treatments: - Overview - Intra-gastric Balloons - Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty • Conclusion
Obesity • NZ third highest obesity rate in OECD • Adult obesity rate increased from 27% in 2006/07 to 32% in 2015/16 • 35% adults are overweight but not obese Obesity: Adults by Ethnic Group (BMI >30Kg/m2), age >15 yrs Percentage (%) MOH statistics 2016
Diet • Low energy, VLCD, low glycaemic index diets all achieve similar weight loss ~4kg at 1yr • Low carbohydrate vs low fat diets, no significant difference in weight loss. (7.25Kg vs 7.27Kg, p=ns). Exercise results in improved weight loss maintenance at 1 yr. • Meta-analysis; no specific diet identified for healthy obese patients Vink et al. Obesity. 2016 Feb;24(2):321-7. Johnston et al. JAMA. 2014; 312(9):923-33 Stelmach-Mardas et al. Nutrients. 2016; 28; 8(8).
Exercise • 150-250 mins/week moderate intensity exercise will only produce modest weight loss • >250mins/week associated with clinically significant weight loss • BUT: health status is improved even in the absence of weight loss (improved BP, lipids, insulin resistance).
Medical Therapies Mean Weight Loss Dropout Rates
Title Type procedure Product
Intragastric Balloons • First generation IGBs were air-filled, associated severe complications, spontaneous deflation • Fluid filled IGBs have resolved concerns
Intragastric Balloon(IGB) History • 350,000 IGBs since 1980s • 10,000 IGBs reported in over 50 studies • Variable results • Effective 2-4 months 80% of weight lost in first 3 months • 10% early extraction; 14% -18.8% in FDA studies • Low Success rates (> 10% TBL or > 25% EWL) < 50% success rate Orbera 46.4%, Reshape 48%, Obalon 26.5%
IGB RCT: Meta-analysis • 16 Studies; 3068 patients (Imaz et al) - Overall Weight loss: 14.7Kg, reduction BMI 5.7Kg/m2 and 32.1 %EWL at 6-months Adverse Symptoms and Safety • Nausea: 63-80%, Vomiting 50-75% GER 30% Discomfort Balloon intolerance 5-15% Constipation 20% • n=6771. 57 complications (0.84%) Imaz et al.

Intra-Gastric Balloons Orbera Spatz3 Placed under sedation 6-month duration Median weight loss: 14-15Kg Placed under deep sedation Adjustable 12-month duration Median weight loss: 23-24Kg
Clinical Results: Spatz3 • 708 patients • Mean BMI 35.3 (29-54) • Age 41 (20-63) • Mean Weight 97.9 kg • Balloon Volume: insertion 484 ml (400 – 500) Down Adjustment 143 ml (100-150) Up Adjustment 297 ml (200-300 ml)
Clinical Results: Spatz3 • Weight Loss at 1yr: 50.1 % EWL; 12.6 %TBL • Down Adjustments 90.5% > 60 days 55% > 180 days Mean implant time 219 days • Up Adjustments (mean 5.7 months) Additional 4.6 kg weight loss • Success Rate (> 25% EWL); 71.7% • Complications: 6x GU (2 NSAID/ETOH) 3x grade C-D esophagitis
