THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE Bariatric Surgery: an effective treatment for combating obesity? Kristen Huselid, Senior Seminar 2010
Objectives Be able to describe the different types of bariatric surgery performed Identify recommended medical nutrition therapy for pre- and post-surgical patients Be able to explain several clinical and ethical challenges involved with bariatric surgery
Obesity is a BIG problem • 1.7 billion Worldwide are overweight or obese • BMI of 25-29.9- Overweight • BMI of 30-34.9- Obesity Class I • BMI of 35-39.9- Obesity Class II • BMI of 40-49.9- Obesity Class III • The US has a higher percentage of overweight and obese people than any country in the world Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599. http://teamrich.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/obesity.jpg
US Statistics • Roughly 2/3 of the US population is overweight • Of those, almost 50% are obese • 5 % of the US population, or 10 million Americans, have a BMI ≥40 • Subgroups growing the quickest are 35-40+ BMI • Estimated number of weight loss procedures in 2010 will exceed 220,000 Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Obesity Trends* Among U.S. AdultsBRFSS,1990, 1999, 2009 (*BMI 30, or about 30 lbs. overweight for 5’4” person) 1990 1999 2009 No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% 20%–24% 25%–29% ≥30% Source: Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Study, CDC
Comorbid Conditions • Type II Diabetes • Hyperlipidemia • Hypertension • Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Heart Disease • Cancer • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease • Osteoarthritis • Asthma • Depression http://www.ebooksreviewers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/AdultObesity.jpg Kushner, R. F., & Neff, L. M. (2010). Bariatric surgery: A key role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 524-526.
Impact of Obesity and Life Expectancy • American children may be the first in two centuries to have a shorter life span than their parents • The life-shortening impact of obesity could rise to 2-5 years or more, as obese children spend more years at risk for comorbid conditions Olshansky, SJ et al. A potential Decline in Life Expectancy in the United States in the 21st Century. NEJM, 352(11):1138- 1145, 2005.
What is Bariatric Surgery? A brief history Surgeons at the University of Minnesota Mason Pories and MacDonald Wittgrove and Clark American Society for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery (ASMBS) Maggard, M.A., Shugarman, L.R., & Suttorp, M. (2005). Meta-analysis: surgical treatment of obesity. American College of Physicians, 142(7):547-559.
Types of Surgical Therapy • Purely Restrictive • Gastric balloons (NOT approved in the US) • Vertical banded gastroplasty • Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) • Restrictive > Malabsorptive • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) • Malabsorptive > Restrictive • Biliopancreatic diversion w/ duodenal switch (BPD-DS) • Purely Malabsorptive • Jejunoilial bypass • Jejunocolonic bypass
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Purely restrictive Stomach divided vertically, band stapled around top portion of stomach Complications include esophageal reflux or re-operation Many surgeons have abandoned this approach http://weight-lost.us/images/WLSurgeryVerticalBandedGastrophy.jpg Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Resection of the greater curvature of the stomach—resulting in a stomach remnant “sleeve” Often for “high risk” patients http://www.obesesurgery.com/VerticalSleeveGastrectomy.jpg Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Most commonly used restrictive procedure Drastically decrease the stomach’s capacity 15-30 mL gastric pouch Thought to be safer than conventional surgical treatments http://www.nationalgastricballooncentre.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/adjustable-band.jpg Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) Mainly a restrictive procedure- small gastric pouch limits food intake; also malabsorptive due to small bowel reconfiguration Most common bariatric surgery performed in the US “gold standard” http://www.meltingmama.net/.a/6a00d8345190c169e20133ed0077a4970b-320pi Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Biliopancreatic Bypass Procedure Subtotal gastronomy High incidence of gallstones Iron deficiency anemia, protein malnutrition, hypocalcemia and bone demineralization http://www.lifebridgehealth.org/images/bariatric/patientinfo2.jpg Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Biliopancreatic Bypass with Duodenal Switch A “sleeve” gastrectomy is performed along the vertical axis of the stomach, decreasing the volume of the stomach and incidence of ulcers at the anastomosis Requires long-term medical follow-up and regular monitoring of fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium http://medicalimages.allrefer.com/large/biliopancreatic-diversion-with-duodenal-switch.jpg Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Laparoscopic Surgery • Minimally invasive surgery • Surgeons use air to inflate the abdomen in order to view the stomach and intestines • Special staplers make the connections internally • Multiple small incisions made Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Laparoscopic vs. Open RYGBP Laparoscopic RYGBP Open RYGBP http://www.asbs.org/html/patients/bypass.html http://www.asbs.org/html/patients/bypass.html Kulick, D., Hark, L., & Deen, D. (2010). The bariatric surgery patient: A growing role for registered dietitians. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 110(4), 593-599.
Laparoscopic vs. Open RYGBP Advantages of laparoscopic Disadvantages of laparoscopic • Less intra-operative blood loss • Shorter hospitalization • Reduced postoperative pain • Less pulmonary complications • Faster recovery • Fewer wound complications (incision hernias and infections) • Complex laparoscopic operation associated with a steep learning curve • Possible increase in the rate of internal hernia Brief history and summary of bariatric surgery.

(2008). Bariatric surgery: risks and rewards. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 93(11), 89-96.
Controversial Issues • Rand CS, MacGregor AM. Adolescents having obesity surgery: A 6-year follow-up.

J., & Daniels, S. R. (2005). Pediatric obesity epidemic: Treatment options. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 105(5, Supplement 1), 44-51.
Reimbursement Issues • Acceptance of obesity as a disease • Defining the registered dietitian as the logical provider of MNT • Promoting a reimbursement rate that encourages quality provider services and the necessity of showing that MNT is effective Stern, J. S., Kazaks, A., & Downey, M. (2005). Future and implications of reimbursement for obesity treatment. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 105(5, Supplement 1), 104-109.
Conclusion • Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for morbid obesity • Most common surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass • Bariatric surgery provides significant • Loss of excess body weight • Relief from comorbidities • Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease • Improvement in quality of life for patients • Potential Risks include: • Post-operative complications and mortality • Nutritional deficiencies and GI complications
