  34. Guide for Selecting Obesity Treatment BMI Category (kg/m2) The Practical Guide: Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults. October 2000, NIH Pub. No.00-4084

  35. What Operations are Performed? Restrictive Surgeries-limit amount of food held by a surgically created smaller gastric pouch and slow gastric emptying 1.) Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) 2.) Laparoscopic Adjustable Silicone Gastric banding (LASGB)

  36. What Operations are Performed? Restrictive Malabsorbtive-gastric restriction combined with selective malabsorbtion 1.) Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) The most commonly performed proc. 2.) Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) or Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPDDS)

  37. What are The Operative Results? • 30-35% weight loss in 12-18 months • Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass the most widely accepted and best results • Higher volume centers and surgeons have best results. Still risk and complications • 10 year weight loss maintenance best with surgery

  38. Treatment of the Metabolic Syndrome in Overweight or Obese Patients • Weight loss induced by diet and increased physical activity is the cornerstone of therapy • Weight loss induced by drug therapy can also improve specific features of the metabolic syndrome • Bariatric surgery is the most effective weight loss therapy for extremely obese subjects and improves all features of the metabolic syndrome

  39. Conclusions • Obesity is a chronic disease • Modest weight loss (5% -10% of body weight) can have considerable medical benefits • Lifestyle change (diet and physical activity) is the cornerstone of therapy • Pharmacotherapy can be useful in properly selected patients • Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for obesity
