Completeness of intervention reporting of nutrition-focused weight management interventions adjunct to metabolic and bariatric surgery: effect of the TIDieR checklist. Int J Obes (Lond) 2024:10.1038/s41366-024-01506-6. [PMID: 38459257 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-024-01506-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Nutrition-focused interventions are essential to optimize the bariatric care process and improve health and weight outcomes over time. Clear and detailed reporting of these interventions in research reports is crucial for understanding and applying the findings effectively in clinical practice and research replication. Given the importance of reporting transparency in research, this study aimed to use the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist to evaluate the completeness of intervention reporting in nutritional weight management interventions adjunct to metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). The secondary aim was to examine the factors associated with better reporting. A literature search in PubMed, PsychINFO, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials was conducted to include randomized controlled trials (RCT), quasi-RCTs and parallel group trials. A total of 22 trials were included in the final analysis. Among the TIDieR 12 items, 6.6 ± 1.9 items were fully reported by all studies. None of the studies completely reported all intervention descriptors. The main areas where reporting required improvement were providing adequate details of the materials and procedures of the interventions, intervention personalization, and intervention modifications during the study. The quality of intervention reporting remained the same after vs. before the release of the TIDieR guidelines. Receiving funds from industrial organizations (p = 0.02) and having the study recorded within a registry platform (p = 0.08) were associated with better intervention reporting. Nutritional weight management interventions in MBS care are still below the desirable standards for reporting. The present study highlights the need to improve adequate reporting of such interventions, which would allow for greater replicability, evaluation through evidence synthesis studies, and transferability into clinical practice.

Food cravings after bariatric surgery: comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Eat Weight Disord 2024; 29:7. [PMID: 38214807 PMCID: PMC10786997 DOI: 10.1007/s40519-023-01636-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research suggests that food choices, preferences, and tastes change after bariatric surgery, but evidence regarding changes in food cravings is mixed. OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this cohort study was to compare food cravings during the first year following bariatric surgery in patients who had undergone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). SETTING Integrated multispecialty health system, United States. METHODS Patients aged ≥ 18 years seen between May 2017 and July 2019, provided informed consent, completed the Food Craving Inventory (FCI), and had ≥ 1 year of follow-up after undergoing primary SG or RYGB were included in the study. Secondary data captured included psychological and behavioral measures. Preoperative and postoperative (3, 6, 9, and 12 months) FCI scores of patients who underwent SG and RYGB were compared. RESULTS Some attrition occurred postoperatively (N = 187 at baseline, 141 at 3 months, 108 at 6 months, 89 at 9 months, and 84 at 12 months). No significant relationship between pre- or postoperative food cravings and surgery type was found except on the carbohydrate subscale. Patients with higher preoperative food addiction symptoms were not more likely to experience an earlier reoccurrence of food cravings during the first 12 months after surgery. Likewise, patients with higher levels of preoperative depression and anxiety were not more likely to have early reoccurrence of food cravings during the first 12 months after surgery; however, those with higher PHQ9 scores at baseline had uniformly higher food craving scores at all timepoints (pre-surgery, 3 m, 6 m, 9 m, and 12 m). CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that food cravings in the year after bariatric surgery are equivalent by surgery type and do not appear to be related to preoperative psychological factors or eating behaviors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery is a common procedure worldwide for the treatment of severe obesity and associated comorbid conditions but there is a lack of evidence as to medium-term safety and effectiveness outcomes in a United Kingdom setting. Objective To establish the clinical outcomes and adverse events of different bariatric surgical procedures, their impact on quality of life and the effect on comorbidities. Design Prospective observational cohort study. Setting National Health Service secondary care and private practice in Scotland, United Kingdom. Participants Adults (age >16 years) undergoing their first bariatric surgery procedure. Main outcome measures Change in weight, hospital length of stay, readmission and reoperation rate, mortality, diabetes outcomes (HbA1c, medications), quality of life, anxiety, depression. Data sources Patient-reported outcome measures, hospital records, national electronic health records (Scottish Morbidity Record 01, Scottish Care Information Diabetes, National Records Scotland, Prescription Information System). Results Between December 2013 and February 2017, 548 eligible patients were approached and 445 participants were enrolled in the study. Of those, 335 had bariatric surgery and 1 withdrew from the study. Mean age was 46.0 (9.2) years, 74.7% were female and the median body mass index was 46.4 (42.4; 52.0) kg/m2. Weight was available for 128 participants at 3 years: mean change was -19.0% (±14.1) from the operation and -24.2% (±12.8) from the start of the preoperative weight-management programme. One hundred and thirty-nine (41.4%) participants were readmitted to hospital in the same or subsequent 35 months post surgery, 18 (5.4% of the operated cohort) had a reoperation or procedure considered to be related to bariatric surgery gastrointestinal complications or revisions. Fewer than five participants (<2%) died during follow-up. HbA1c was available for 93/182 and diabetes medications for 139/182 participants who had type 2 diabetes prior to surgery; HbA1c mean change was -5.72 (±16.71) (p = 0.001) mmol/mol and 65.5% required no diabetes medications (p < 0.001) at 3 years post surgery. Physical quality of life, available for 101/335 participants, improved in the 3 years post surgery, mean change in Rand 12-item Short Form Survey physical component score 8.32 (±8.95) (p < 0.001); however, there was no change in the prevalence of anxiety or depression. Limitations Due to low numbers of bariatric surgery procedures in Scotland, recruitment was stopped before achieving the intended 2000 participants and follow-up was reduced from 10 years to 3 years. Conclusions Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment for obesity. Patients in Scotland, UK, appear to be older and have higher body mass than international comparators, which may be due to the small number of procedures performed. Future work Intervention studies are required to identify the optimal pre- and post surgery pathway to maximise safety and cost-effectiveness.

Prevalence and predictors of weight recurrence following bariatric surgery: A longitudinal prospective cohort study from Tehran Obesity Treatment Study (TOTS). Obes Res Clin Pract 2024; 18:43-50. [PMID: 38233323 DOI: 10.1016/j.orcp.2024.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Considering the lack of a standardized definition for weight recurrence (WR), the prevalence and predictors of WR remain inconsistent. METHODS The prospective study was conducted on 1939 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery;66.8% underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG), 33.2%, underwent gastric bypass (GB)[of them 87% one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), and 13% Rue and Y gastric bypass (RYGB)]. During a follow-up of 72 months, the prevalence of WR ranged from 13.5% to 35.5% according to five different definitions. The generalized estimated equation method was used to assess weight changes, excess weight loss (EWL%), and body composition (fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM)and FFM loss/weight loss% (FFML/WL%)) by a bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Stepwise logistic regression models were applied to determine the independent predictors of WR. RESULTS Among 1939 participants followed up for 72 months, WR definitions were applied to 650 patients (75.4% females) with an average BMI of 44.3 ± 5.4 kg/m2,491 (75.5%) and 159 (24.5%) of whom underwent SG and GB, respectively. WR group had relatively higher weights and FM and lower EWL%. A WR turning point was observed at 24 months post-surgery (Ptime before & after 24 months<0.001). The most significant risk factors for WR included SG (in all WR definitions), a younger age (in four out of five definitions), and a higher baseline BMI (in three out of five definitions). CONCLUSION The prevalence and predictors of WR varied greatly depending on the definition applied. The prominent risk factors of WR included SG, younger age, and a higher baseline BMI.

Significance of Hormone Alteration Following Bariatric Surgery. Cureus 2023; 15:e49053. [PMID: 38116338 PMCID: PMC10729911 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.49053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly over the last several decades, and with its increase comes a wide variety of comorbidities, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, diet and exercise have been prescribed for individuals to try and regain control of their weight and health status. Despite this successful method, the compliance rate is significantly below the desired amount. Over the last few decades, a new treatment has been offered to significantly decrease an individual's weight to an optimal BMI between 18 and 25 kg/m2. Bariatric surgery has been proposed to be the most appropriate treatment for obesity, and there are several different types of bariatric surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), adjustable gastric band (AGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Hormones may be significantly involved in losing and maintaining weight loss. This paper aims to evaluate hormone changes in appetite suppression, appetite activation, glycemic control, and lipid metabolism and how these impact overall weight loss concerning the most prominent surgeries. The hormones assessed were ghrelin, insulin, leptin, GLP-1, PYY, and adiponectin, and their levels before and after each surgery were compared. RYGB is one of the most successful types of bariatric surgeries, and this correlates with it having the most suppressed levels of ghrelin, insulin, and leptin following surgery with a slow return to normal. RYGB has also led to the most significant increased levels of PYY, pre- and post-prandial GLP-1, and adiponectin. Hormones following SG followed the hormone trend after RYGB but were not as prominent. BDP-DS has the highest success rate. However, numerous adverse effects have limited the amount of studies assessing the surgery. What was present was not as significant as RYGB, possibly due to manipulation.

Cognitive Control and Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery: the BARICO Study. Obes Surg 2023; 33:2799-2807. [PMID: 37477832 PMCID: PMC10435598 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06744-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective treatment for obesity. However, some individuals experience insufficient weight loss after surgery. Therefore, we investigated whether cognitive control affects weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS Within this exploratory observational study, part of the BARICO study (BAriatric surgery Rijnstate and Radboudumc neuroImaging and Cognition in Obesity), participants aged between 35 and 55 years eligible for RYGB were included. Before and after BS, body weight, (delta) BMI and percentage total body weight loss (%TBWL) were determined. Additionally, at baseline, Stroop task-performance, -activation and -connectivity were assessed by a color-word paradigm task during functional neuroimaging to determine the ability of participants to inhibit cognitive interference. RESULTS Seventy-six participants were included, of whom 14 were excluded from fMRI analysis, leaving 62 participants. Participants were aged 45.0 ± 5.9 years with a mean pre-surgery BMI of 40.2 ± 3.3 kg/m2, and 86% were women. Mean decrease in BMI was 13.8 ± 2.5 kg/m2, and mean %TBWL was 34.9 ± 6.3% 1 year after BS. Stroop task performance did not correlate with (delta) BMI and %TBWL. The inferior parietal/middle occipital gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, and supplementary motor cortex were involved in cognitive interference, although activity in these regions did not predict weight loss after surgery. Lastly, generalized psychophysiological interaction did not provide evidence for (delta) BMI- and %TBWL-dependent connectivity modulation. DISCUSSION Cognitive control did not predict weight loss after surgery. Future studies should focus on longer follow-up periods to understand the relation between cognitive control and weight loss.

Two-Year Results of the Banded Versus Non-banded Re-sleeve Gastrectomy as a Secondary Weight Loss Procedure After the Failure of Primary Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Randomized Controlled Trial. Obes Surg 2023; 33:2049-2063. [PMID: 37156932 PMCID: PMC10166688 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06598-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insufficient weight loss or weight regain has been reported in up to 30% of patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Approximately 4.5% of patients who undergo LSG need revisional surgery for a dilated sleeve. METHODS This randomized controlled trial compared the outcomes between banded (BLSG) and non-banded re-LSG (NBLSG) after weight regain. Percentage excess body weight loss (%EWL), percentage total weight loss (%TWL), associated medical problems, gastric volume measurement, and endoscopy were measured preoperatively and 1 and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Both groups (25 patients each) achieved similar % EWL and %TWL at six months, one year, and two years postoperatively (%EWL 46.9 vs. 43.6, 83.7 vs. 86.3, and 85.7 vs. 83.9) (p= > 0.151) (%TWL 23.9 vs. 21.8, 43.1 vs .43.3, 44.2 vs. 42.2) (p=>0.342), respectively. However, the body mass index was significantly lower with BLSG (24.9 vs. NBLSG, 26.9). Both groups showed a significant reduction in stomach volume after two years (BLSG -248.4 mL vs. NBLSG -215.8 mL). Food tolerance (FT) scores were significantly reduced in both groups, whereby BSLG had significantly lower FT with an average of -1.1 point. No significant differences were observed regarding improvement of the associated medical problems after the first and two years after revisional LSG or the postoperative complications between both groups. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic re-LSG is feasible and safe with satisfactory outcomes in patients with weight regain after LSG who have gastric dilatation without reflux esophagitis. Both groups had comparable significant weight loss effects and improvement of associated medical problems. The BLSG tends to have a more stable weight loss after two years with a significantly lower BMI, lower stomach volume, and less weight regain. Food tolerance decreased in both groups but reduced more in the BLSG group. After a 2-year follow-up, we may regard both procedures are safe, with no significant differences in the occurrence of complications and nutritional deficits.

Abstract
Psychological presence in multidisciplinary obesity teams has been highlighted as an important component of such teams. Although mentioned in guidelines and recommendations, there is little information regarding the extent to which this is present currently in weight management services, and in what form. Here, we discuss important ways in which psychological aspects of obesity can impact a person living with obesity and how psychology can be incorporated to provide holistic support in weight management services. Recommendations are also made to create clearer guidelines to provide a more robust reference for the inclusion of psychology in multidisciplinary teams.

Bite by byte: can fitness wearables help bariatric patients lose more weight after surgery? Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-10157-z. [PMID: 37286749 PMCID: PMC10338384 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10157-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidisciplinary approaches to weight loss have been shown to improve outcomes in bariatric patients. Few studies have been performed assessing the utility and compliance of fitness tracking devices after bariatric surgery. We aim to determine whether use of an activity tracking device assists bariatric patients in improving postoperative weight loss behaviors. METHODS A fitness wearable was offered to patients undergoing bariatric surgery from 2019 to 2022. A telephone survey was conducted to elucidate the impact of the device on the patient's postoperative weight loss efforts 6 to 12 months after surgery. Weight loss outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) patients receiving the fitness wearable (FW) were compared to those of a group of SG patients who did not receive one (non-FW). RESULTS Thirty-seven patients were given a fitness wearable, 20 of whom responded to our telephone survey. Five patients reported not using the device and were excluded. 88.2% reported that using the device had a positive impact on their overall lifestyle. Patients felt that using the fitness wearable to keeping track of their progress helped them both to achieve short-term fitness goals and sustain them in the long run. From the patients that utilized the device, 44.4% of those that discontinued felt like it helped them build a routine that they maintained even after they were no longer using it. Demographic data between FW and non-FW groups (age, sex, CCI, initial BMI, and surgery BMI) did not differ significantly. The FW group trended towards greater %EWL at 1 year post-operation (65.2% versus 52.4%, p = 0.066) and had significantly greater %TWL at 1 year post-operation (30.3% versus 22.3%, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The use of an activity tracking device enhances a patient's post-bariatric surgery experience, serving to keep patients informed and motivated, and leading to improved activity that may translate to better weight loss outcomes.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the relationships between childhood maltreatment and changes in weight, depressive symptoms and eating behavior post-bariatric surgery (BS). Participants (n = 111, 85% females) were evaluated pre-surgery, and at 6 months (6 M) and 12 months (12 M) post-BS. History of maltreatment was assessed at baseline (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire), and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-II) and eating behavior (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire) were assessed at all time points. Participants' mean age and median BMI were 45.1 ± 11.7 years and 46.7 (IQR 42.4-51.9) kg/m2, respectively. Histories of emotional (EA), physical (PA) and sexual abuse (SA) and emotional (EN) and physical (PN) neglect were reported by 47.7%, 25.2%, 39.6%, 51.4% and 40.5%, respectively, with 78.4% reporting at least one form of maltreatment. Changes in weight and depressive symptoms were not different between patients with vs. without a history of maltreatment. However, those with vs. without SA demonstrated limited changes in emotional eating (EE) at 12 M, while those without showed improvements. Conversely, patients with vs. without EN showed greater improvements in external eating (ExE) at 6 M, but differences were no longer observed by 12 M. Results indicate that histories of SA and EN are associated with changes in eating behaviors post-BS and have implications for assessment, monitoring and potential intervention development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the unfortunate events after bariatric surgery is the weight regain, which occurs in some patients. Food addiction is an eating disorder related to the brain-intestinal axis and can be effective in weight regain after bariatric surgery. In addition, the gut microbiome plays a vital role in eating behaviors, including food addiction. So, this study will aim to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation with a weight-reducing diet and cognitive behavioral therapy on anthropometric measures, body composition, eating behavior, and related hormone levels, leptin, oxytocin, and serotonin, in patients with food addiction and weight regain after bariatric surgery. METHODS We will carry out a triple-blinded randomized clinical trial for 12 weeks to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation with a weight-reducing diet and cognitive behavioral therapy on anthropometric measures, body composition, eating behavior, and related hormone levels including leptin, oxytocin, and serotonin, in patients with food addiction and weight regain after bariatric surgery. DISCUSSION Based on the available evidence, probiotic supplementation by modifying the intestinal microbiome can improve food addiction and subsequent weight loss.

Weight Regain in the Second Year after Sleeve Gastrectomy Could Be a Predictor of Long-Term Outcomes? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59040766. [PMID: 37109724 PMCID: PMC10143935 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective surgical procedure in the treatment of obesity. However, a significant percentage of patients suffer from weight regain over long-term follow-up. The mechanisms responsible for this process are still poorly understood. The aim of the study is to evaluate the predictive effect of weight regain in the second year after SG on long-term bariatric surgery effectiveness. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using the database of routinely collected information about patients undergoing SG in the Department of General, Minimally Invasive and Elderly Surgery in Olsztyn. Patients were divided into two groups according to the change in body weight between the first and second years after the surgery: weight gainers (WG) and weight maintainers (WM). Results: A study group consisting of 206 patients, with follow-up over 5 years, was included in the study. The WG group consisted of 69 patients while the WM group had 137 patients. There were no significant differences between the patient characteristics (p > 0.05). The WM group had a mean %EWL of 7.45% (SD, 15.83%) and %TWL of 3.74 (SD, 8.43). The WG group had a mean %EWL of 22.78% (SD, 17.11%) and %TWL of 11.29% (SD, 8.68). The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The study showed significantly better results in WM compared to WG (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Weight regain in the second year after SG may be a good factor for long-term bariatric surgery effectiveness prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conversion of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been utilized to promote further weight loss, but results are variable in available literature. OBJECTIVES To evaluate outcomes of SG to RYGB conversion for weight loss and to identify predictors of below-average weight loss. SETTING University-affiliated hospital, United States. METHODS Chart review was performed of our patients who underwent SG to RYGB conversion from November 1, 2013, to November 1, 2020. Primary outcomes were below-average percent excess weight loss (%EWL) at 1 and 2 years. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for preconversion demographics to evaluate their relationship to the primary outcome. RESULTS Sixty-two patients underwent conversion from SG to RYGB with weight loss as a goal. One-year data was available for 47 patients. The average %EWL at 1 year was 41.5%. Twenty-six patients had below-average %EWL at 1 year. Interval to conversion <2 years (OR = 4.41, 95% CI [1.28,15.17], P = .019) and preconversion body mass index (BMI) >40 (OR = 4.00, 95% CI [1.17,13.73], P = .028) were statistically significant predictors of below-average 1-year %EWL. Two-year data was available for 36 patients. The average %EWL at 2 years was 30.8%. Seventeen patients had below-average %EWL at 2 years. Evaluated demographics were not statistically significant predictors of below-average 2-year %EWL. CONCLUSIONS Following SG to RYGB conversion, %EWL outcomes are lower at 1 year (41.5%) and 2 years (30.8%) than reported values for primary RYGB. Interval to conversion <2 years and preconversion BMI >40 are predictors of below-average 1-year weight loss after conversion.

Comparison of Sleeve Volume Between Banded and Non-banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: Midterm Effect on Weight and Food Tolerance-a Retrospective Study. Obes Surg 2023; 33:406-417. [PMID: 36508154 PMCID: PMC9889434 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06404-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve dilatation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes weight regain (WR). Banded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) was proposed to prevent dilatation and reduce WR. METHODS A retrospective cohort study on patients who underwent BSG and LSG and completed 4 years of follow-up from 2016 to 2021 was included. Body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), and FT scores were calculated at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years. The sleeve volume was estimated at 6 months, 1 year, and 4 years. Multi-variate analysis was conducted to assess correlations between covariates. WR was calculated as weight gain > 10%, > 10 kg above the nadir, or BMI increase of ≥ 5 kg/m 2 above the nadir. RESULTS This study included LSG 1279 patients and BSG 132 patients. Mean %EWL at 1 year was 83.87 ± 17.25% in LSG vs. 85.71 ± 7.92% in BSG and was 83.47 ± 18.87% in LSG and 85.54 ± 7.48% in BSG at 4 years. Both had significant weight loss over time (p. < 0.001) with no significant main effect of surgery (p.0.438). Mean sleeve volume at 6 months was 102.32 ± 9.88 ± 10.28 ml in LSG vs. 101.89 ± 10.019 ml in BSG and at 4 years was 580.25 ± 112.25 ml in LSG vs. 157.94 ± 12.54 ml in BSG (p. < 0.001). WR occurred in 136 (10.6%) and 4 (3.1%) (p.0.002) in LSG and BSG patients, 90 (7%) vs. zero (0%) (p.0.002) and 31 (2.4%) vs. zero (0%) (p.0.07) using the > 10%, > 10 kg increase above the nadir and the ≥ 5 kg/m 2 BMI increases above the nadir formulas, respectively. CONCLUSION BSG had significantly lower sleeve volume, significantly lower WR, and significantly lower FT scores than LSG after 4 years from surgery; however, volume changes were not correlated with weight loss.

Long-term (11 + years) efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy as a stand-alone bariatric procedure: a single-center retrospective observational study. LANGENBECK'S ARCHIVES OF SURGERY 2022; 408:4. [PMID: 36577828 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02734-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of SG as a stand-alone bariatric procedure. METHODS A single-center retrospective analysis of 104 patients who underwent SG as a stand-alone bariatric procedure between January 2005 and December 2009. Weight loss, weight regain, remission or improvement of comorbidities and the new onset of comorbidities were the main outcomes of the study. RESULTS The percent excess body weight loss (%EBWL), percent excess body mass weight (BMI) loss (%EBMIL), and percent total body weight loss (%TBWL) were 59 ± 25, 69 ± 29, and 29 ± 12, respectively, after a mean follow-up of 13.4 years. At the last follow-up, nearly two thirds of patients (67.3%) had an %EBWL greater than 50. The percentage of patients who experienced significant weight regain ranged from 47 to 64%, depending on the definition used for weight regain. The rate of improvement or remission of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and degenerative joint disease at a mean follow-up of 13.4 years was 40%, 94.7%, 70%, 100%, and 42.9%, respectively. The new onset of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in the same period was 43%. CONCLUSION Our data supports that SG results in long-lasting weight loss in the majority of patients and acceptable rates of remission or improvement of comorbidities. Weight regain and GERD may be issues of particular concern during long-term follow-up after SG.

Definition, Mechanisms and Predictors of Weight Loss Failure After Bariatric Surgery. JOURNAL OF METABOLIC AND BARIATRIC SURGERY 2022; 11:39-48.

Abstract
It has been proven that surgery is more effective than non-surgical treatment in obese patients. However, this approach has several disadvantages, especially long-term weight loss. Weight loss failures can be broadly classified into two categories; insufficient weight loss (poor responder) and weight regain. However, a unified definition has not been established yet for each category, and there is no clear standard for the post-surgery time point to be used to assess weight loss failure. In addition, analyzing factors that contribute to weight loss failure will lead to strategies for reducing it. Therefore, many researchers have been interested in this subject and have published conflicting results. This review presents a definition for and describes the mechanisms and predictors of weight loss failure after bariatric surgery.

Long-Term Trajectories in Weight and Health Outcomes Following Multidisciplinary Publicly Funded Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Clinically Severe Obesity (≥ 3 Associated Comorbidities): A Nine-Year Prospective Cohort Study in Australia. J Clin Med 2022; 11:4466. [PMID: 35956083 PMCID: PMC9369852 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Real-world data on long-term (> 5 years) weight loss and obesity-related complications after newer bariatric surgical procedures are currently limited. The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the effectiveness and sustainability of bariatric surgery in a cohort with clinically severe obesity in a multidisciplinary publicly funded service in two teaching hospitals in New South Wales, Australia. Methods: Patients were adults with complex clinically severe obesity with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and at least three significant obesity-related comorbidities, who underwent bariatric surgeries between 2009 and 2017. Detailed obesity-related health outcomes were reported from annual clinical data and assessments for up to 9 years of follow-up. Data were also linked with the national joint replacement registry. Results: A total of 65 eligible patients were included (mean, 7; range, 3−12 significant obesity-related comorbidities); 53.8% female; age 54.2 ± 11.2 years, with baseline BMI 52.2 ± 12.5 kg/m2 and weight 149.2 ± 45.5 kg. Most underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (80.0%), followed by laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (10.8%) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (9.2%). Substantial weight loss was maintained over 9 years of follow-up (p < 0.001 versus baseline). Significant total weight loss (%TWL ± SE) was observed (13.2 ± 2.3%) following an initial 1-year preoperative intensive lifestyle intervention, and ranged from 26.5 ± 2.3% to 33.0 ± 2.0% between 1 and 8 years following surgery. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), osteoarthritis-related joint pain and depression/severe anxiety were the most common metabolic, mechanical and mental health comorbidities, with a baseline prevalence of 81.5%, 75.4% and 55.4%, respectively. Clinically significant composite cumulative rates of remission and improvement occurred in T2DM (50.0−82.0%) and hypertension (73.7−82.9%) across 6 years. Dependence on continuous positive airway pressure treatment in patients with sleep-disordered breathing fell significantly from 63.1% to 41.2% in 6 years. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery using an intensive multidisciplinary approach led to significant long-term weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities among the population with clinically complex obesity. These findings have important implications in clinical care for the management of the highest severity of obesity and its medical consequences. Major challenges associated with successful outcomes of bariatric surgery in highly complex patients include improving mental health in the long run and reducing postoperative opioid use. Long-term follow-up with a higher volume of patients is needed in publicly funded bariatric surgery services to better monitor patient outcomes, enhance clinical data comparison between services, and improve multidisciplinary care delivery.

Abstract
Introduction: According to the high rate of patients requiring a Re-Do surgery after a primary Sleeve Gastrectomy, due to failure on weight loss, this study proposes a comparison between RYGB and OAGB as a secondary intervention for morbidly obese patients. Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent revisional surgery to convert SG to RYGB or OAGB at our institution from November 2011 to November 2019 was performed. Results: A subset of sixty-three patients with previous SG underwent revisional surgery due to failure of the primary intervention. The OAGB group (n = 17) had a mean BMI at the time of the sleeve of 62 kg/m2 and a mean BMI of 50.7 kg/m2, the length of the Omega was 139.35 cm. The RYGB (n = 46) group showed a mean BMI of 47 kg/m2 at the time of the sleeve and a BMI of 34.8 kg/m2 at the time of the revision. The RYGB was performed according to the 70/120 cm standard for all the patients. One patient also had a revision from secondary OAGB to RYGB due to persistent biliary reflux, in this case the biliary branch was settled at 150 cm and the alimentary at 50 cm. Conclusions: The outcomes in the OAGB group showed a 29%WL and a 47%EWL (out of a 17%WL and 28%EWL at the time of the sleeve), on the other side the RYGB group reached a 33%WL and 72%EWL (out of a 25%WL and a 54%EWL at the time of the sleeve). According to our data we assume that RYGB is more effective in terms of weight loss as a revisional surgery after sleeve

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery induces changes in gut microbiota that have been suggested to contribute to weight loss and metabolic improvement. However, whether preoperative gut microbiota composition could predict response to bariatric surgery has not yet been elucidated. STUDY DESIGN Seventy-six patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were classified according to the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) 1 year after surgery in the responder group: >50%EWL (n=50) and the nonresponder group: <50%EWL (n=26). Patients were evaluated before surgery, and 3 months and 1 year after surgery. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed before surgery (n=76) and 3 months after bariatric surgery (n=40). RESULTS Diversity analysis did not show differences between groups before surgery or 3 months after surgery. Before surgery, there were differences in the abundance of members belonging to Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla (nonresponder group: enriched in Bacteroidaceae, Bacteroides, Bacteroides uniformis, Alistipes finegoldii, Alistipes alistipes, Dorea formicigenerans, and Ruminococcus gnavus. Responder group: enriched in Peptostreptococcaceae, Gemmiger, Gemiger formicilis, Barnesiella, Prevotellaceae, and Prevotella; linear discriminant analysis >2; p < 0.05). Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratio was significantly lower in the nonresponder group compared to the responder group (p = 0.048). After surgery, the responder group showed an enrichment in taxa that have been shown to have beneficial effects on host metabolism. Before surgery, PICRUSt analysis showed an enrichment in pathways involved in the biosynthesis components of the O-antigen polysaccharideunits in lipopolysaccharides in the nonresponder group. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative gut microbiota could have an impact on bariatric surgery outcomes. Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratio could be used as a predictive tool for weight loss trajectory. Early after surgery, patients who experienced successful weight loss showed an enrichment in taxa related to beneficial effects on host metabolism.

Abstract
Little is known about the role of chronic gastritis on weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This study aims to investigate the relationship between histopathologic findings of gastric specimens, excess weight loss (% EWL), and excess BMI loss (% EBL) at 6 and 12 months follow up after LSG. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 95 patients who had undergone LSG between January 2017 and December 2019. Based on the histopathological findings of gastric resection specimens, patients were divided into those with chronic gastritis (CG) and those without chronic gastritis (NoCG) and compared for their % EWL and % EBL at 6 and 12 months. The mean BMI was 44.74 kg/m2 in the CG group and 44.14 kg/m2 in the NoCG group. At 6 months follow up, the CG group had a mean % EWL of 45.7 and % EBL of 40.5, while NoCG had a mean % EWL of 51.1 and % EBL of 46.7. After 1-year follow-up, the CG group had a mean % EWL of 53.1 and a % EBL of 44.8, while the NoCG group had a % EWL of 54.1 and % EBL of 44. This observational study does not support the hypothesis that the occurrence of chronic gastritis can affect postoperative % EWL and % EBL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggest that problematic eating behaviors such as food addiction (FA) and binge eating (BE) may alter following bariatric surgery (BS) and impact weight outcomes. We aimed to examine the prevalence of FA and BE and their associations with weight outcomes 2 years post-sleeve gastrectomy (SG). METHODS Forty-five women (mean age 32.4 ± 10.9 years) who underwent SG and completed 24 months of follow-up were evaluated prospectively at pre-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month post-SG. Data collected included anthropometrics, nutritional intake, and lifestyle patterns. The Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) and the Binge Eating Scale (BES) were used to characterize FA and BE, respectively. RESULTS Pre-surgery FA and BE were identified in 40.0% and 46.7% of participants, respectively. Following SG, FA and BE prevalence was 10.0%, 5.0%, 29.4%, and 14.2% (P = 0.007), and 12.5%, 4.9%, 18.4%, and 19.4% (P < 0.001) at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Women with BE at baseline gained significantly more weight from the nadir compared to non-BE women at baseline (P = 0.009). There was no relationship between FA at baseline and weight (P = 0.090). Weight regained from the nadir positively correlated with BES scores at baseline (r = 0.374, P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS FA and BE tend to decrease during the early postoperative period, but remains in a notable rates return by 2 years post-SG. Moreover, pre-surgical BE was related to higher weight-regain. Proper management pre-BS should include a comprehensive eating pathologies assessment, as these pathologies may remain or re-emerge post-surgery and lead to worse weight outcomes.

Abstract
Eating self-efficacy refers to a person’s belief in their ability to regulate eating. Although the Weight Efficacy Life-Style questionnaire (WEL) is one of the most widely used eating self-efficacy tools, its French validation is lacking. The objective of this research was to validate a French version of the WEL in a general and a clinical sample, and to explore the links between eating self-efficacy and psychosocial variables. In study 1, the general population sample included 432 adults (93% of women, mean age = 43.18 ± 11.93 years). In study 2, the clinical sample included 2010 adults with overweight and obesity (87% of women, mean age = 44.44 ± 11.25 years). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. Two distinct versions of the WEL were retained: a 12-item questionnaire intended for use in the general population, named WEL-Fr-G, and an 11-item questionnaire for clinical samples, named WEL-Fr-C. The two French versions of the WEL presented strong reliability and sensibility. In addition, study 2 provided support for the measurement invariance of the WEL-Fr-C across sex and Body Mass Index. The two versions are therefore psychometrically sound instruments for assessing eating self-efficacy in the general population (WEL-Fr-G) and clinical samples (WEL-Fr-C).

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been shown to have a variety of metabolically beneficial effects for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and is now also called metabolic surgery. At the 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit held in 2015 in London, the indication for bariatric and metabolic surgery was included in the “algorithm for patients with type T2D”. With this background, the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity (JSTO), the Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) and the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity (JASSO) have formed a joint committee to develop a consensus statement regarding bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of Japanese patients with T2D. Eventually, the consensus statement was announced at the joint meeting of the 38th Annual Meeting of JSTO and the 41st Annual Meeting of JASSO convened in Toyama on March 21, 2021. In preparing the consensus statement, we used Japanese data as much as possible as scientific evidence to consider the indication criteria, and set two types of recommendation grades, “recommendation” and “consideration”, for items for which recommendations are possible. We hope that this statement will be helpful in providing evidence-based high-quality care through bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of obese Japanese patients with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a profoundly effective operation for severe obese patients, but is closely associated with bone mass loss. Previous studies have reported changes of various serum factors which may be associated with bone mass loss after SG. However, those results are contradictory. In this study, we assessed the effects of SG on bone mass, microstructure of femurs, and changes in bone turnover markers (BTMs), serum adipokines, inflammatory factors and gastrointestinal hormones after SG in high-fat diet (HFD) induced obese rats. METHODS Eight-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed with HFD to induce obesity. Then, SG and sham surgery were performed in anesthetized obese rats. SD rats in control group were fed with standard chow. Microstructure of femurs was scanned and analyzed by micro-computed tomography in control group, HFD sham group and HFD SG group. Serum inflammatory factors, adipokines markers, gastrointestinal hormones and BTMs were also measured. RESULTS Bone mineral density (BMD) of trabecular bone in both HFD sham group and HFD SG group were remarkably decreased compared with control group. All serum BTMs were significantly higher in HFD SG group than HFD sham group. In the meantime, serum levels of several important inflammatory factors, gastrointestinal hormones and adipokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), ghrelin, insulin and leptin in HFD SG group were remarkably reduced compared with HFD sham group, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), adiponectin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19 and FGF-21 were dramatically increased after SG. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was significantly increased in the HFD sham group than control group. Spearman's correlation analysis indicated that serum osteocalcin (OC) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) were positively correlated with BMD of trabecular bone, whereas serum PTP1B and TNF-α were negatively related to BMD of trabecular bone. CONCLUSIONS SG aggravates bone mass loss and activates bone remodeling in obese rats. Levels of BTMs, adipokines, inflammatory factors, and gastrointestinal hormones could be affected by SG in obese rats. Serum PTP1B level might be associated with abnormal bone mass in obese rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective treatment for extreme obesity; however, long-term weight loss outcomes remain largely understudied. We aimed to examine the long-term weight changes following SG and patient characteristics and lifestyle patterns related to weight loss outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from medical records of patients operated in a tertiary university medical center between 2008 and 2014 were reviewed, along with information derived from a telephone questionnaire. Information included the following: current medical status, medications, side effects, behavior, lifestyle habits, and weight changes. RESULTS A total of 212 patients (69.3% females) were included, with a median follow-up duration of 8 years post-SG. Mean age and baseline body mass index (BMI) of participants were 39.7 ± 12.0 years and 42.2 ± 4.9 kg/m2, respectively. Mean BMI, percentage excess weight loss, and percentage total body weight loss were 33.1 ± 6.1, 55.5 ± 27.5%, and 21.7 ± 10.7%, respectively. Higher baseline BMI was found to be the strongest independent predictor for insufficient weight loss (OR = 0.90, P = 0.001, 95% CI 0.85, 0.96). Sweetened beverage intake, usage of psychiatric medications, higher initial BMI, and lower age were significant predictors for increased weight gain from nadir weight (P < 0.0001, P = 0.005, P = 0.035, and P < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS SG patients were found to maintain a notable long-term weight loss. Nevertheless, weight regain and insufficient weight loss were prevalent in the long-term post-operative period, and were related to certain lifestyle patterns. Clinical practice should emphasize the relationship between post-operative weight loss outcomes and specific behaviors. Efforts should be made to educate patients on the need for lifelong follow-up and support.

[PMID: 34344588 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2021.155647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are different changes observed before and after diet therapy, and also after weight regain. However, there is not sufficient information regarding weight regain and hormonal changes. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to review the connection between weight regain and leptin concentration levels. METHODS MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for interventional articles published from January 1, 1980, to June 30, 2020. Randomized clinical trials with parallel or cross over design assessing leptin concentrations at the baseline and at the end of study were reviewed. Two independent reviewers extracted data related to study design, year of publication, country, age, gender, body mass index (BMI), duration of the following up period and mean ± SD of other intended variables. RESULTS Four articles were included, published between 2004 and 2016. Three of them were conducted in the US and one of them in Netherland. Sample size of the studies ranged between 25 and 148 participants. The range of following up period was from13 to 48 weeks. The age range of participants was from 34 to 44 years. Our analysis shows that weight regain could reduce leptin levels, but this change is not statistically significant. CONCLUSION This review suggests that weight regain may induce a non-significant reduction in leptin level. However, the limited number and great heterogeneity between the included studies may affect the presented results and there are still need to well-designed, large population studies to determine the relationship between weight regain and leptin levels.

Social determinants of health and their impact on rates of postoperative complications among patients undergoing vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Surgery 2021; 171:447-452. [PMID: 34303546 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.06.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most common bariatric procedures worldwide, but the impact of social determinants of health on postoperative outcomes for this procedure has not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact that social determinants of health have on postoperative outcomes after vertical sleeve gastrectomy. METHOD This was a population-based study using the MARINER-15 database, an all-payer claims database. The primary endpoint of this study was the development of any complication, including cardiac complication, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis, wound complication, hematoma, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, transfusion, or urinary tract infection within 60 days, 30- and 90-day all-cause mortality, or readmission within 30 or 90 days in patients undergoing vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedures. RESULTS Individuals in the social determinants of health cohort had a significantly longer length of stay when compared with those without social determinants of health (3.07 days vs 1.582 days, P < .001). These patients were more likely to develop any complication within 60 days after surgery (hazard ratio 1.20, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.40) but were less likely to return for readmission within 30 and 90 days (hazard ratio 0.80, 95% confidence interval 0.66-0.96; hazard ratio 0.85 95% confidence interval 0.72-0.99). CONCLUSION Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and its associated comorbidities. Although patients with social determinants of health are more likely to develop any of the analyzed postoperative complications within 60 days, they are less likely to return for readmission, highlighting the importance of focused follow-up and other measures to avoid lapses in care and eliminate further barriers to care in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Report the analysis from a single center series of consecutive primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on the factors affecting weight loss at long term. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients submitted to primary SG with a follow-up of 7 years were screened. Weight loss was evaluated with %excess weight loss (%EWL) and %excess BMI loss (%BMIL). Weight regain (WR) was defined as in increase of 25% of the obtained %EWL and insufficient weight loss (IWL) as loss < 50% EWL. Eating behaviors were evaluated with 7 days record (7dR). All the variables potentially affecting the weight loss were cross-matched for correlation. The study population was divided in three groups: group A (WR), group B (IWL), and group C (sustained weight loss) for comparative analysis. RESULTS A total of 86 patients (21 M/65 F) with a preoperative BMI of 47.08 ± 6.15 kg/m2 were evaluated. Cumulative 7 years weight loss was as follows: 61.66 ± 22.69% EWL and 32 ± 9% EBMIL. A total of 4.6% had an IWL while 27.9% a WR. The analysis showed a significant difference among the daily calories and fats consuming, number of meals, physical activity, grazing/sweet eating habits, and adherence to follow-up (p < 0.05) between groups A and C. Cox hazard demonstrated a significant risk (p < 0.05) to WR in case of adherence to follow-up shorter than 48 months, high daily calories, and fats intake (hazard ratio (HR) range 5-9). Eight patients (9.3%) had a surgical revision. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrated that long-term results (7 years) of SG are strongly related to eating habits and patient's behaviors.

Health Status, Eating, and Lifestyle Habits in the Long Term Following Sleeve Gastrectomy. Obes Surg 2021; 31:2979-2987. [PMID: 33829384 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05336-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an established bariatric procedure. However, long-term data on eating and lifestyle behaviors and their effect on weight outcomes are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to examine these long-term behaviors and their associations to weight outcomes following SG. METHODS A long-term follow-up study (>5 years post-surgery) of 266 adult patients admitted to a primary SG surgery during 2008-2012 and who participated in a pre-surgery study was conducted. Data on pre-surgery demographics, anthropometrics, and medical status were obtained from the patients' medical records. Data on long-term health status, anthropometrics, lifestyle and eating habits, eating pathologies, follow-up regime, and satisfaction from the surgery were collected by an interview phone calls according to a structured questionnaire. RESULTS Data of 169 patients were available before and 7.8±1.0 years post-SG. Their baseline mean age was 41.8±11.3 years, and 71.6% of them were females. The mean post-surgery excess weight loss (EWL) was 53.2±31.2%, and 54.2% had EWL of ≥50%. Eating 3-6 meals per day, not having the urge to eat after dinner, separating liquids from solids, avoiding carbonated beverages, and performing physical activity were related to better weight-loss outcomes (P≤0.026). However, frequent need for eating sweets, binge eating, and feeling guilty or sad after eating were related to worse weight-loss outcomes (P≤0.010). Furthermore, only a minority reported taking a multivitamin and participating in follow-up meetings after more than 1 year since the surgery (≤21.3%). CONCLUSIONS In the long term following SG, approximately half achieved EWL of ≥50%, and physical activity, certain eating patterns, and eating pathologies were related to weight outcomes.

Early weight loss as a predictor of 3-year weight loss and weight regain in patients with good compliance after sleeve gastrectomy. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 17:1418-1423. [PMID: 33962874 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.03.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common surgery for severe obesity. Patients lose weight post SG and regain some weight in the following years. Early weight loss predicts weight loss after SG. However, etiologies of weight loss and regain after SG remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of early weight loss on medium-term weight regain post SG. SETTING Two university hospitals in Taiwan. METHODS Patients with records within 1 and at 3 years after SG were enrolled retrospectively. Preoperative clinical variables and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) were analyzed. Weight regain was defined as a weight increase from 1 year postoperatively of >25% of the lost weight. Linear and multiple logistic regression were applied to examine the associations of early weight loss, weight loss, and weight regain. RESULTS A total of 363 patients were included. Body mass indexes before and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 36 months postoperatively were 40.7 ± 6.8 kg/m2, 36.6 ± 6.2 kg/m2, 33.5 ± 5.8 kg/m2, 30.9 ± 5.5 kg/m2, 28.4 ± 5.2, and 29.3 ± 5.4 kg/m2, respectively. At 3 years after SG, 73 patients (20.1%) had weight regain. In multivariate linear analyses, initial age, waist circumference, type 2 diabetes, and %TWL at 1 or 3 months were associated with either 1-year or 3-year %TWL. Multiple logistic regression revealed %TWL at 3 months to be a predictor for 3-year weight regain after SG (odds ratio, .927; P = .02). CONCLUSION Early weight loss predicted weight loss and regain 3 years after SG. Early lifestyle and behavioral interventions are suggested in patients at high risk of poor weight loss and weight regain outcomes after SG.

Factors associated with weight regain post-bariatric surgery: a systematic review. Surg Endosc 2021; 35:4069-4084. [PMID: 33650001 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08329-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 115] [Impact Index Per Article: 38.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To systematically review the literature to assess the incidence and risk factors of weight regain (WR) after bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for sustained weight loss of morbidly obese patients, but WR remains a concern. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PRISMA compliant systematic literature review was performed using the PubMed database, Embase and the Cochrane Library in July of 2019. Studies that reported ≥ 10% WR after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used for assessing study quality. RESULTS Out of 2915 retrieved abstracts, 272 full papers were reviewed, and 32 studies included (25 of high and 7 of fair quality) reporting weight outcomes on 7391 RYGB and 5872 SG patients. 17.6% (95% CI 16.9-18.3) had a WR ≥ 10%. Risk factors related with WR fell into 5 categories, namely anatomical, genetic, dietary, psychiatric, and temporal. Specifically, gastrojejunal stoma diameter, gastric volume following sleeve, anxiety, time after surgery, sweet consumption, emotional eating, portion size, food urges, binge eating, loss of control/disinhibition when eating, and genetics have been positively associated with WR while postprandial GLP-1, eagerness to change physical activity habits, self-esteem, social support, fruit and zinc consumption, HDL, quality of life have been negatively associated. CONCLUSION At least 1 in 6 patients after bariatric surgery had ≥ 10% WR. This review identified several factors related to WR that can be used to counsel patients preoperatively and direct postoperative strategies that minimize WR risk.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has become increasingly common due to the worldwide obesity epidemic. A shift from open to laparoscopic surgery, specifically, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), has occurred in the last two decades because of the low morbidity and mortality rates of LSG. Although LSG is a promising treatment option for patients with morbid obesity due to restrictive and endocrine mechanisms, it requires modifications for a subset of patients because of weight regain and tough complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux, strictures, gastric leak, and persistent metabolic syndrome., Revision surgeries have become more and more indispensable in bariatric surgery, accounting for 7.4% in 2016. Mainstream revisional bariatric surgeries after LSG include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, repeated sleeve gastrectomy, biliopancreatic diversion, duodenal switch, duodenal-jejunal bypass, one-anastomosis gastric bypass, single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SAID) and transit bipartition. This review mainly describes the revisional surgeries of LSG, including the indication, choice of surgical method, and subsequent effect.

Fasting Ghrelin and Postprandial GLP-1 Levels in Patients With Morbid Obesity and Medical Comorbidities After Sleeve Gastrectomy and One-anastomosis Gastric Bypass: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2020; 31:28-35. [PMID: 32810030 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000000844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are among the commonly performed bariatric procedures. This randomized study aimed to compare SG and OAGB in terms of weight loss, improvement in comorbidities, and change in serum ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective randomized trial on patients with morbid obesity associated with medical comorbidities who were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 equal groups; group I underwent SG and group II underwent OAGB. Outcome measures were percent of excess weight loss (%EWL), improvement in comorbidities, change in the venous levels of fasting ghrelin and postprandial GLP-1 at 12 months after surgery, in addition to operation time and complications. RESULTS Forty patients (38 female) of a mean age of 33.8 years and mean body mass index of 48.6 kg/m2 were included. Operation time in group II was significantly longer than in group I (86 vs. 52.87 min; P<0.001). There were 6 recorded complications (1 in group I and 5 in group II, P=0.18). The %EWL, %total weight loss, and %excess body mass index loss at 6 and 12 months postoperatively were significantly higher in group II than in group I. Both groups had similar rates of improvement in comorbidities. Group I had significantly lower ghrelin and GLP-1 levels postoperatively at 6 and 12 months, respectively, as compared with group II. CONCLUSIONS OAGB was associated with significantly higher EWL than SG. The reduction in fasting ghrelin and postprandial GLP-1 serum levels at 12 months after SG was significantly higher than that after OAGB.

Mammary Volume-to-Body Mass Index Ratio: Preoperative Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk Factor and Indicator of Long-term Postoperative Remission of Comorbidities in Premenopausal Women Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy. Obes Surg 2020; 31:5189-5195. [PMID: 32789551 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-04887-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE A correct preoperative selection of candidates to undergo a sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is advisable. However, there is a dearth of available literature addressing outcome predictors after SG, besides surgical factors. To assess the accuracy of the mammary volume-to-body mass index (MV-BMI) ratio as an indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in morbidly obese patients and as a preoperative predictor of long-term outcomes after SG. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective observational study of 100 consecutive females under 40 years old and planned to undergo a SG was performed. Mammary volume was calculated based on a geometry of the breast model. Correlation of the preoperative MV-BMI ratio with preoperative Framingham risk score (FRS) and triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol ratio was investigated. The correlation of preoperative MV-BMI with 5-year postoperative remission of comorbidities was also assessed. RESULTS Preoperative MV-BMI showed an inverse correlation with preoperative FRS and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio. It also showed a direct correlation with long-term T2D, hypertension, and dyslipidemia remission after SG. A cutoff point of MV-BMI 60 has been established as the most accurate predictive value. CONCLUSION MV-BMI can be used as a predictive factor of long-term outcome after SG in premenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative sleeve volume (SV) is a key factor in evaluating the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). An objective measurement of SV was obtained with 3-dimensional computed tomographic (3DCT) reconstruction. Several studies have compared SV with percent excess weight loss (%EWL), identifying an inverse relationship. We hypothesized that gastric capacity is one of the factors responsible for weight loss after LSG. OBJECTIVES Outcomes of the study were the analysis of the inverse correlation between SV and weight loss (%EWL and body mass index) at the 12-month follow-up, and evaluation of SV in the group with %EWL >50%. In addition, the failure rate was quantified in the SV >180 mL group. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study with the collection of data. All patients who received LSG from January to December 2017 were evaluated. Computed tomography was performed on the upper abdomen at 12 months postoperatively to measure the SV using a standardized technique involving gastric distension. RESULTS A total of 42 patients were considered for 3DCT evaluation at the 12-month follow-up. A significant linear inverse relation was reported between SV and %EWL (P<0.05); a similar trend, without significant results, was reported for body mass index loss. The entire cohort was subdivided according to %EWL. A %EWL<50% presented a significantly higher mean SV (P<0.01) than %EWL >50%. SV >180 mL was powerful in predicting abnormal gastric distension. Over this value, %EWL was lower than that in the remaining group (P<0.05, 31.9% vs. 51.8%). CONCLUSIONS Our results confirmed a direct relation between SV and %EWL. Objective evaluation of gastric compliance obtained with 3DCT should be used intensively for LSG.

Abstract
OBJETIVO To evaluate the differences in the metabonomic profile of patients who achieved remisison of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after bariatric surgery in relation to those who presented maintenance or recurrence of this condition after surgery. METHODS Thirthy-three patients with obesity and T2D were submitted to bariatric/metabolic surgery, among which, 22 experienced complete remission of T2D, and 11 did not experience remission in the postoperative period. Blood samples were taken in order to assess the serum profiles through a 1H NMR-based metabonomic study. RESULTS The metabonomic model for the assessment of T2D recurrence presented an accuracy of 93.9%, sensibility of 81.8%, specificity of 100%, positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 91.7%. CONCLUSION bariatric surgery provide specific effects on the distribution of metabolites in those patients who achieved remission of T2DM, and this new distribution can be assessed through a metabonomic model.

Adjunctive liraglutide treatment in patients with persistent or recurrent type 2 diabetes after metabolic surgery (GRAVITAS): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2019; 7:549-559. [PMID: 31174993 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(19)30157-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 85] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2019] [Revised: 04/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with type 2 diabetes do not achieve sustained diabetes remission after metabolic (bariatric) surgery for the treatment of obesity. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, improves glycaemic control and reduces bodyweight in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our aim was to assess the safety and efficacy of liraglutide 1·8 mg in patients with persistent or recurrent type 2 diabetes after metabolic surgery. METHODS In the GRAVITAS randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled adults who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or vertical sleeve gastrectomy and had persistent or recurrent type 2 diabetes with HbA1c levels higher than 48 mmol/mol (6·5%) at least 1 year after surgery from five hospitals in London, UK. Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) via a computer-generated sequence to either subcutaneous liraglutide 1·8 mg once daily or placebo, both given together with a reduced-calorie diet, aiming for a 500 kcal per day deficit from baseline energy intake, and increased physical activity. The primary outcome was the change in HbA1c from baseline to the end of the study period at 26 weeks, assessed in patients who completed the trial. Safety was assessed in the safety analysis population, consisting of all participants who received either liraglutide or placebo. This trial is registered with EudraCT, number 2014-003923-23, and the ISRCTN registry, number ISRCTN13643081. FINDINGS Between Jan 29, 2016, and May 2, 2018, we assigned 80 patients to receive either liraglutide (n=53) or placebo (n=27). 71 (89%) participants completed the study and were included in the principal complete-cases analysis. In a multivariable linear regression analysis, with baseline HbA1c levels and surgery type as covariates, liraglutide treatment was associated with a difference of -13·3 mmol/mol (-1·22%, 95% CI -19·7 to -7·0; p=0·0001) in HbA1c change from baseline to 26 weeks, compared with placebo. Type of surgery had no significant effect on the outcome. 24 (45%) of 53 patients assigned to liraglutide and 11 (41%) of 27 assigned to placebo reported adverse effects: these were mainly gastrointestinal and in line with previous experience with liraglutide. There was one death during the study in a patient assigned to the placebo group, which was considered unrelated to study treatment. INTERPRETATION These findings support the use of adjunctive liraglutide treatment in patients with persistent or recurrent type 2 diabetes after metabolic surgery. FUNDING JP Moulton Foundation.
