World Health Organization Fact Sheet Key Facts Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980 In 2008, 1.5 billion adults, 20 and older were overweight. Of these over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese 65% of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight Nearly 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2010 Obesity is preventable

Indications for bariatric surgery: 1991 NIH Consensus Development Conference on Gastrointestinal Surgery for Severe Obesity Although weight may be reduced acceptably with non-surgical means, most patients fail to maintain a reduced weight Indications for bariatric surgery: BMI ≥ 40 BMI ≥ 35 plus associated significant obesity-related comorbidity Failure of non-surgical weight loss attempts
Adjustable Gastric Banding Sleeve Gastrectomy Combined Modality Classification Restrictive Adjustable Gastric Banding Sleeve Gastrectomy Combined Modality (Both restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms) Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
Beyond Weight Loss Appetite Control Glucose and Lipid Metabolism Insulin Homeostasis Regulatory Peptides Surgically-induced changes in the entero–encephalic endocrine axis (Metabolic Surgery)
Adjustable Gastric Banding
FDA approved in 2001 for implantation in the United States Adjustable Gastric Banding FDA approved in 2001 for implantation in the United States Non-resectional Placed just below the esophagogastric junction, creating a “virtual pouch” Adjusted via subcutaneous access port
Subcutaneous Port / Huber needle
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Risk management strategy for severely obese or high risk patients Sleeve Gastrectomy Originally performed as the restrictive component of the duodenal switch procedure Risk management strategy for severely obese or high risk patients Substantial improvement in comorbidities in 1-2 yrs followed by a second-stage operation – RYGB or BPD/DS Early reports emerged of substantial weight loss with sleeve gastrectomy alone
Reduced stomach capacity (small pouch) Malabsorptive limb No resection Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Reduced stomach capacity (small pouch) Malabsorptive limb No resection Weight loss from both restriction and malabsorption Considered the gold standard for bariatric surgery

Conclusion ‘…Reflects the enormous positive effects of bariatric surgery on the metabolic complications of severe obesity, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, sexual hormone dysfunction in both men and women (polycystic ovarian syndrome), non-alcoholic liver disease, and lipid metabolism (both cholesterol and triglycerides), but maintains in its name the positive effect of weight loss on pressure-related phenomenon (baros or bariatric) such as joint disease, GERD, urinary incontinence, obesity hypoventilation, venous stasis disease, and pseudotumor cerebri.’ Harvey Sugerman, MD
