Editor's Notes
“ Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial chronic disease that develops from the interaction between genotype and the environment. Our understanding of how and why obesity occurs is incomplete; however, it involves the integration of social, behavioral, cultural, physiological, metabolic and genetic factors. There are three key factors to assess the degree of obesity: Body mass index (BMI) Waist circumference Risk factors or comorbidities Obesity causes impaired function and disease in many organ systems, which often can be reversed or prevented by modest weight loss.

Appropriate obesity therapy involves many of the same principles used in the management of other chronic diseases and requires continued support from physicians and other caregivers as part of a long-term treatment plan. An effective weight loss program combines diet therapy, physical activity, and behavioral modifications. Furthermore, certain patients may benefit from the addition of weight loss drugs to the basic treatment regimen. Bariatric surgery is the most effective available weight loss therapy, but is associated with the highest risk of complications. Therefore, surgery is reserved for patients with severe obesity, who have failed non-surgical attempts to lose weight.

Division of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, Minneapolis 55454-1015, USA. Intervention strategies for promoting long-term weight loss are examined empirically and conceptually. Weight control research over the last 20 years has dramatically improved short-term treatment efficacy but has been less successful in improving long-term success. Interventions (define interventions) in preadolescent children show greater long-term efficacy than in adults. Extending treatment length and putting more emphasis on energy expenditure have modestly improved long-term weight loss in adults. Fresh ideas are needed to push the field forward. Suggested research priorities are patient retention, natural history, assessment of intake and expenditure, obesity phenotypes, adolescence at a critical period, behavioral preference-reinforcement value, physical activity and social support, better linkage of new conceptual models to behavioral treatments, and the interface between pharmacological and behavioral methods.

The majority of patients initially seek to lose weight through lifestyle changes. Patients who follow an optimal program that uses diet, exercise and behavior modification can expect to achieve and maintain up to a 10% weight loss, if they continue it permanently. some people regain half of their lost weight in a little over one year.

As various obesity drugs have entered the market, some patients have used them to supplement their diet and exercise. Obesity drugs fall into two categories: those that 1) prevent the absorption of fat or 2) suppress appetite.
A 2005 meta-analysis of the pharmacologic treatment of obesity found that Sibutramine, Orlistat, Phentermine, and probably Diethylpropion, Bupropion, Fluoxetine and Topiramate promote only modest weight loss ( < 10 pounds) after one year, when given along with recommendations for diet.

Traditional bariatric surgery consists of two types: 1) restrictive and 2) malabsorptive; however, some procedures are a combination of both. Each has its own operative procedures and risks of side effects and/or complications. Most operations can now be done laparoscopically rather than using an open surgical approach. Malabsorptive procedures, shorten the digestive tract and reduce the absorption of calories (along with proteins and other nutrients). Biliopancreatic Diversion Restrictive surgery, uses bands or staples to restrict food intake and promote a feeling of fullness (satiety) after eating. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Combined procedures, shorten the digestive tract and reduce how much food the stomach can hold.

The First Bariatric Operation: Kremen and Linner's Jejunoileal Bypass: Bariatric surgery continues to evolved since its initial sporadic and tentative introduction in the 1950's. The first bariatric procedure to be preceded by animal studies and subsequently presented to a recognized surgical society and published in a peer reviewed journal was that of Kremen and associates in 1954. (Kremen, Linner et al. 1954) The case which they presented was of a jejunoileal bypass.(JIB). Jejunoileal bypass involved joining the upper small intestine to the lower part of the small intestine, bypassing a large segment of the small bowel, which is thus taken out of the nutrient absorptive circuit. In the discussion of the case, Philip Sandblom of Lund, Sweden, alluded to the fact that, two years previously, Victor Henriksson of Gothenberg, Sweden, had performed a similar procedure for morbid obesity. In this case the redundant small bowel was excised rather than bypassed. Subsequently it was discovered that Dr Richard Varco of the University of Minnesota independently performed JIB at the University of Minnesota Hospitals around the same time as the operation of Kremen et al. Varco's case was unpublished and the patient record lost, so that the exact procedure date is unknown. (Buchwald and Rucker 1984) Essentially, there are four varied approaches to treat morbid obesity through surgery. The earliest procedure developed was known as the jejunalileal bypass . Unfortunately, this procedure is plagued by a high incidence of severe malabsorption. This means that nutrients were not being properly absorbed by the body, leading to extreme diarrhea, mineral and electrolyte imbalances and other problems such as liver cirrhosis. Moreover, many patients have died from the negative effects of this procedure. This procedure is no longer performed due to the high rate of complications. During the 1960s, another procedure known as the vertical banded gastroplasty , a procedure that restricts the gastric system, was developed. Originally, the pouch created had a capacity of approximately 100 to 200 cc's, but doctors found that the size of the pouch impacted the effectiveness of weight loss, so they began to make the pouches smaller. Now pouch sizes are usually 2-4 ounces. Another procedure, gastric stapling , became popular during the 1980s. This surgery inserted several staple lines in the upper portion of the stomach to reduce the volume of intake, then two or three staples were removed to give ingested food the ability to flow through the stomach. The goal was to provide the patient with a feeling of being full when eating, but reduce the number of problems with malabsorption. Although this procedure continued to be modified over the years, including the use of an elastic band to reduce the stomach flow, it has since fallen out of favor. While patients did initially lose weight, maintaining that loss after a couple of years became more difficult because the opening or the band tended to stretch after a while. Source: Kremen AJ, Linner JH, Nelson CH. An experimental evaluation of the nutritional importance of proximal and distal small intestine. Ann Surg 1954;140(3):439-48. The two most common obesity surgeries in the United States have been the Gastric Bypass (GBP) and the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG). The Gastric Bypass is both a restrictive and malabsorptive operation. With this procedure, the stomach is stapled to make a smaller pouch, then a part of the intestines is attached to it. The result is that you cannot eat as much, and you absorb fewer nutrients and calories from your food. The changes in your stomach and intestine are permanent. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty is a restrictive procedure. The surgeon uses staples to make a small stomach pouch. This reduces how much food the stomach can hold. You feel full sooner and eat less. What you eat is digested by the stomach in the normal way. There is another way to reduce how much food the stomach can hold. It is called the BioEnterics LAP-BAND System. Today, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty is being performed less frequently than in the past and is essentially being replaced with the LAP-BAND System because of its adjustability and more gentle approach.

The “dumping syndrome” in which food moves too quickly through the small intestine can cause nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and sometimes diarrhea after eating. There can also be an inability to eat sweets without severe weakness and sweating causing patients to lie down to let the symptoms pass.

There is another way to reduce how much food the stomach can hold. It is called the LAP-BAND System. Today, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty is being performed less frequently than in the past and is essentially being replaced with the LAP-BAND System because of its adjustability and more gentle approach. Mean operative time in minutes with the LAP-BAND ® system is less than half of RYGB (61 + 24 min vs 138 + 41 min).(citation?) The LAP-BAND ® System provides effective weight loss comparable to that seen with standard gastric bypass. A recent systematic literature review of 43 published reports and 10,041 operations, showed that weight loss with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is comparable to standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) after three years Fewer total complications than with RYGB or biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) (9% vs 23% with RYGB and 25% with BPD). Fewer major complications than with RYGB or BPD (0.2% vs2% with RYGB and 5% with BPD). Fewer early and late complications with LAP-BAND ® (10.7% vs 27.4% with RYGB and 23.6% with VGB).

Although initial weight loss with Gastric Bypass is typically very rapid, at 5 years many LAP-BAND ® System and Gastric Bypass patients achieve comparable weight loss results. 55% of excess weight for the LAP-BAND ® System versus 58% with Gastric Bypass. * O’Brien P, McPhail T, Chaston T, et al.

The name “LAP-BAND ® ” comes from the surgical technique used (laparoscopic, or “keyhole,” surgery) and the name of the product used (gastric band). The LAP-BAND ® System is the only FDA approved weight-loss surgery available and since it’s inception there have been over 250,000 placed world wide. During the LAP-BAND ® System procedure, instruments are placed through very small incisions. The LAP-BAND ® System is fastened like a belt around the upper part of the stomach to create a tiny new stomach pouch. There is no cutting or stapling of the stomach needed in this procedure. The LAP-BAND ® System is connected by tubing to an access port placed under the skin during surgery. Later the surgeon can adjust the LAP-BAND with saline through the access port. With the LAP-BAND ® System the food you eat moves slowly from the small upper pouch to the lower part of your stomach, where it is digested normally. As a result, you eat less food and feel full faster .
