Evaluation of the Effect of the Pre-Operative Exercise Training on Weight Loss, Quality of Life, and Cardiopulmonary Parameter in Bariatric Metabolic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Obes Surg 2024; 34:2670-2684. [PMID: 38856886 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07333-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of pre-surgery exercise training on cardiopulmonary fitness. Ten articles (six RCTs and four non-RCTs) involving 281 individuals were finally included in the synthesis. Regarding the effect on VO2 peak, overall standardized mean differences were 0.71 (95% CI, 0.31 to 1.11, n = 103) with heterogeneity (I2 = 0%, P = 0.49). For 6MWT, overall weighted mean differences (distance in meters) were 31.87 (95% CI, 27.84 to 35.89, n = 100) with heterogeneity (I2 = 0%, P = 0.96). Engaging in pre-bariatric metabolic surgery exercise training might improve anthropometric parameters and cardiopulmonary fitness with no significant changes in components of quality of life. However, considering high levels of heterogeneity, the results should be generalized cautiously.

Preoperative medically supervised weight loss programs and weight loss outcomes following bariatric surgery - a prospective analysis. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2024; 20:165-172. [PMID: 37945471 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2023.08.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior to undergoing bariatric surgery, many insurance companies require patients to attend medically supervised weight management visits for 3-6 months to be eligible for surgery. There have been few studies that have looked specifically at the relationship between medically supervised weight management visit attendance and postoperative outcomes, and the current literature reports discrepant findings. OBJECTIVES This project aimed to better characterize the relationship between preoperative medically supervised weight management visit attendance and postoperative weight loss outcomes by examining weight loss up to 5 years postbariatric surgery, and by stratifying findings according to the type of surgery undergone. SETTING University Hospital. METHODS Participants were recruited during presurgical bariatric surgery clinic visits at a bariatric and metabolic weight loss center. As part of standard of care all participants were required to participate in monthly medically supervised weight management visits before surgery. Participants who completed bariatric surgical procedures participated in postsurgical follow-up at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and then annually for 5 years. Weight outcomes measured were percentage of total weight lost. RESULTS The results do not indicate a significant association between number of group visits attended and percent total weight loss at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or 5 years postbariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS These data do not suggest a relationship between engagement in a medically supervised weight loss program prior to bariatric surgery and weight loss after surgery in either the short- or the long-term.

Jaeger P, Mortier M, Alhazmi A, Gaeb M, Senkal M. Risk factors for multimodal conservative approach failure before bariatric surgery. BJS Open 2024; 8:zrad152. [PMID: 38323880 PMCID: PMC10848309 DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrad152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A multimodal conservative approach (MCA) is internationally recommended prior to bariatric surgery for the majority of patients. This research aimed to identify risk factors for therapy failure within the MCA. METHODS This study was conducted in a German bariatric obesity centre. Patients who underwent a 3- to 6-month preoperative MCA from November 2019 to October 2020 were prospectively recorded and analysed. MCA included dietary and movement therapy, psychological and endocrinological referral and connection to a patient support group. The change in BMI was considered the main parameter for therapeutic success. Explanatory factors were evaluated for this outcome of interest and included physical and mental well-being (SF-36), perceived stress (DASS-21), social and economic situation and educational background (SOEP). RESULTS Out of 413 eligible patients, 209 were analysed. Overall, patients gained BMI (average gain 0.23 kg/m² (s.d. 1.44 kg/m²)) during the preoperative MCA. Diverse social, demographic and economic and health properties did not influence the course of the therapy. There was a significant positive correlation between successful loss of BMI and physical well-being (β = 0.03, 95% c.i. 0.01 to 0.04, P < 0.0001) and a negative correlation between mental well-being (β = -0.02, 95% c.i. -0.004 to -0.001, P = 0.001) as well as self-perceived stress (β = -0.05, 95% c.i. -0.09 to -0.01, P = 0.019), although these effects were small and did not affect the overall trend of gaining BMI during MCA. CONCLUSION The current therapeutic approach of preoperative conservative treatment within the multimodal concept of bariatric treatment fails to achieve its intended outcome. A different conservative weight loss programme from the pre-bariatric setting, which should focus on a surgical preparation, is therefore recommended.

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.

Preoperative Weight Gain Is Not Related to Lower Postoperative Weight Loss, But to Lower Total Weight Loss up to 3 Years After Bariatric-Metabolic Surgery. Obes Surg 2023; 33:3746-3754. [PMID: 37922062 PMCID: PMC10687109 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06835-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Weight loss prior to bariatric-metabolic surgery (BMS) is recommended in most bariatric centers. However, there is limited high-quality evidence to support mandatory preoperative weight loss. In this study, we will evaluate whether weight gain prior to primary BMS is related to lower postoperative weight loss. METHODS A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed. Preoperative weight loss (weight loss from start of program to day of surgery), postoperative weight loss (weight loss from day of surgery to follow-up), and total weight loss (weight loss from start of program to follow-up) were calculated. Five groups were defined based on patients' preoperative weight change: preoperative weight loss of >5 kg (group I), 3-5 kg (group II), 1-3 kg (group III), preoperative stable weight (group IV), and preoperative weight gain >1 kg (group V). Linear mixed models were used to compare the postoperative weight loss between group V and the other four groups (I-IV). RESULTS A total of 1928 patients were included. Mean age was 44 years, 78.6% were female, and preoperative BMI was 43.7 kg/m2. Analysis showed significantly higher postoperative weight loss in group V, compared to all other groups at 12, 24, and 36 months follow-up. Up to three years follow-up, highest total weight loss was observed in group I. CONCLUSION Weight gain before surgery should not be a reason to withhold a bariatric-metabolic operation. However, patients with higher preoperative weight loss have higher total weight loss. Therefore, preoperative weight loss should be encouraged prior to bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Weight loss surgery is an effective, long-term treatment for severe obesity but individual response to surgery varies widely. The purpose of this study was to test a comprehensive theoretical model of factors that may be correlated with the greatest surgical weight loss at 1-3 years following surgery. Such a model would help determine what predictive factors to measure when patients are preparing for surgery that may ensure the best weight outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) study collected self-reported and medical record-based baseline information as correlates of 1- and 3-year % total weight loss (TWL) in n = 1341 patients. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the associations between 120 baseline variables and %TWL. RESULTS Participants were 43.4 ± 11.3 years old, Hispanic or Black (52%; n = 699), women (86%; n = 1149), and partnered (72%; n = 965) and had annual incomes of ≥ $51,000 (60%; n = 803). A total of 1006 (75%) had 3-year follow-up weight. Regression models accounted for 10.1% of the variance in %TWL at 1-year and 13.6% at 3 years. Only bariatric operation accounted for a clinically meaningful difference (~ 5%) in %TWL at 1-year. At 3 years after surgery, only bariatric operation, Black race, and BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 were associated with clinically meaningful differences in %TWL. CONCLUSIONS Our findings combined with many others support a move away from extensive screening and selection of patients at the time of surgery to a focus on improving access to this treatment.

Abstract
Only in the USA, 315 billion dollars are spent annually on the medical cost of obesity in adult patients. Till now, bariatric surgery is the most effective method for treating obesity and can play an essential role in reducing the direct and indirect costs of obesity treatment. Nonetheless, there are few comprehensive guidelines which include nutrition, physical activity, and supplements, before and after surgery. The purpose of the present narrative review is to provide an updated and comprehensive practical guideline to help multidisciplinary teams. The core keywords include nutrition, diet, physical activity, exercise, supplements, macronutrients, micronutrients, weight reduction, bariatric surgery, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrostomy, Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, and Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch which were searched in databases including PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and some other sources such as Google Scholar. We answered questions in five important areas: (a) nutritional strategies before bariatric surgery, (b) nutrition after bariatric surgery, (c) physical activity before and after bariatric surgery, (d) weight regain after bariatric surgery, and (e) micronutrient assessments and recommendations before and after bariatric surgery. Some new items were added in this updated guideline including "weight regain" and "pregnancy after bariatric surgery." Other fields were updated based on new evidence and guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to first investigate the efficacy of a preoperative weight management program centered on orlistat, which is mechanistically similar to gastrointestinal bypass procedures in that it restricts dietary fat absorption, and then assess its impact on the results of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of consecutive patients aged 20-65 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 42.5 kg/m2 who underwent primary OAGB from 2014 to 2020. Eligible patients who adhered to a 10-14 day orlistat regimen as part of a 4-6-week diet/lifestyle modification plan preceding surgery were stratified into weight reduction (Group 1) and weight gain (Group 2) groups post treatment. The correlation between pre- and postoperative weight loss and perioperative outcomes was assessed. RESULTS Of 62 eligible patients, 55 met the inclusion criteria and complied with treatment; 35 (64%) patients in Group 1 lost a median of 2.0 kg, and Group 2 had a median weight gain of 2.9 kg. Group 1 had a significantly higher initial BMI (48.9 kg/m2 vs. 44.6 kg/m2; p = 0.003), more females (54% vs. 25%) and a shorter operation time than Group 2 (107 min vs. 140 min; p = 0.109). There was no difference in the incidence of 30-day complications. Weight loss did not differ between the groups at 24 months. CONCLUSION Effective weight control through an orlistat-containing regimen benefitted two-thirds of patients who underwent OAGB; however, further weight loss was not observed at 2 years post-surgery.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective method for achieving long-term weight loss and reducing the risk of comorbidities and mortality in individuals with severe obesity. The pre-operative diet is an important factor in determining patients' suitability for surgery, as well as their post-operative outcomes and success in achieving weight loss. Therefore, the nutritional management of bariatric patients requires specialized expertise. Very low-calorie diets and intragastric balloon placement have already been studied and shown to be effective in promoting pre-operative weight loss. In addition, the very low-calorie ketogenic diet has a well-established role in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but its potential role as a pre-operative dietary treatment prior to bariatric surgery has received less attention. Thus, this article will provide a brief overview of the current evidence on the very low-calorie ketogenic diet as a pre-operative dietary treatment in patients with obesity who are candidates for bariatric surgery.

Changes in Eating Behaviors and Their Associations with Weight Loss in Japanese Patients Who Underwent Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15020353.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been established to provide long-term weight loss in severe obesity. In this study, we investigated the factors that affect post-operative weight loss, with a particular focus on changes in eating behaviors. METHODS Time-course changes in body weight and eating behaviors were examined in 49 Japanese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from the first visit to 12 months after surgery. Each eating behavior was evaluated via the questionnaire of the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity. RESULTS Pre-operative weight reduction mediated by dietary and lifestyle interventions showed significant positive correlations with weight loss outcomes at 12 months after surgery. We observed significant decreases in scores for most of the eating behaviors 12 months after surgery. However, "emotional eating behavior" scores declined temporarily in the early post-operative period of one month but thereafter returned to the pre-operative level at 12 months. Furthermore, increases in the scores for "emotional eating behavior" and "sense of hunger" from 1 to 12 months post-operatively were significantly associated with poor weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the beneficial effects of MBS on obesity-related eating behaviors, as well as highlighting "emotional eating behavior" as requiring particular attention.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment in reducing weight and the burden of comorbidities in patients with severe obesity. Despite the overall low mortality rate, intra- and post-operative complications remains quite common. Weight loss before BS reduces surgical risk, but studies are inconclusive regarding which is the best approach to apply. In this review, we summarize the current evidence on the effect of a ketogenic diet (KD) before BS. All studies agree that KD leads to considerable weight loss and important improvements in terms of surgical risk, but populations, interventions and outcomes are very heterogeneous. KD appears to be a safe and effective approach to induce weight loss before BS. However, randomized controlled trials with better-defined dietary protocols and homogeneous outcomes are necessary in order to draw firm conclusions.

The avoidable delay in weight loss surgery for those with BMI over 50. Surg Endosc 2022; 37:3069-3072. [PMID: 35920911 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09484-4] [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: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many insurance companies mandate medically supervised weight loss programs (MSWLPs) prior to bariatric surgery. This retrospective study aims to elucidate whether the average 6-month preoperative medical-management period decreases preoperative BMI for those with BMI ≥ 50. METHODS All adult patients with bariatric consultation at any time at the New York University Langone Health campuses during the period 2015 to 2021 were evaluated via electronic medical records. Only patients with ≥ BMI 50, without previous bariatric surgeries, and those with 6-month insurance-mandated medical visits were included. A paired t-test was performed on the difference in BMI and percent-weight loss among the subjects at least 6 months before surgery and on the day of surgery. RESULTS Of the 130 patients with BMI ≥ 50, undergoing preoperative 6-month office weigh-ins, the mean difference in BMI was - 1.51 (P < 0.01). The mean total body weight loss was 4.8% (P < 0.01). There were no intraoperative complications nor 30-day complications or mortality in the group. CONCLUSIONS We found that there was weight loss during the 6-month insurance-mandated medical management prior to surgery, but the amount (4.8%) did not reach the goal target of 10% of body weight. We found that there were no complications and question the need for prolonged delay to surgery.

Higher Preoperative Weight loss Is Associated with Greater Weight Loss up to 12 Months After Bariatric Surgery. Obes Surg 2022; 32:2860-2868. [PMID: 35788954 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06176-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior research suggested presurgical weight loss is associated with greater total weight loss, resulting in a more effective bariatric intervention. We aimed to assess whether preoperative weight loss is a predictor for total weight loss, and which patient factors are associated with successful weight loss. METHODS All patients (N = 773) that underwent primary bariatric surgery between June 2017 and August 2019 were included in this single-center retrospective study. Outcome measures were preoperative weight loss (%preopWL) and total weight loss (%TWL) up to 1 year postoperatively. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on quartiles of %preopWL. RESULTS Total weight loss after 1, 6, and 12 months for the upper quartile was 16.9%, 33.4%, and 37.8%, and for the lower quartile 11.8%, 28.9%, and 35.2%, respectively (p < 0.001). Seven hundred fourteen patients (92.4%) were available for the 1-year follow-up. Preoperative weight loss was not associated with the incidence of complications. Independent factors predicting increased %preopWL were mandated preoperative weight loss program (MWP) (p < 0.001), older age (p = 0.005), weight measurement in the week before surgery (p = 0.031), and non-diabetic status (p = 0.010). Predictors for superior %TWL were MWP (p = 0.014), younger age (p = 0.001), non-diabetic status (p = 0.005), female gender (p = 0.001), higher Body Mass Index (p = 0.006), and banded gastric bypass (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Higher preoperative weight loss is associated with persisting greater weight loss up to at least 12 months post-surgery. In order to optimize preoperative weight loss, we recommend extra preoperative support to younger and diabetic patients. We advise nutritional counseling and additional weight measurement in the week before surgery.

Lodewijks Y, van der Ven R, Nienhuijs S. A broad focus on additional programmes prior to bariatric surgery: A systematic review. Clin Obes 2022; 12:e12518. [PMID: 35289099 DOI: 10.1111/cob.12518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Additional preoperative programmes may be beneficial for candidates who seek bariatric surgery, but there is no consensus on the optimal preparation. This systematic review aimed to summarize the effects of a preoperative programme on weight loss. A literature search was performed for Embase, Cinahl, PubMed and Cochrane Library. Studies on preoperative exercise, behaviour and/or diet programmes administered in adult patients in a bariatric trajectory measuring weight loss were included. Initial results yielded 2148 titles, 70 of which were thoroughly analysed and 37 articles were included, comprising 10 333 patients. Eleven out of 37 studies included postoperative weight loss as an outcome in interventions focused on diet (n = 5), behaviour (n = 2), exercise (n = 2) and a combination of interventions (n = 2). Only one study (9%) which administered exercise as a preoperative programme showed a significant effect on postoperative weight loss. In total, 33 studies included preoperative weight loss as an outcome, which was significant in 64% of the cases. It is difficult to draw conclusions from the investigated data as it was extremely heterogeneous concerning the intensity, duration and administration of a programme. Nevertheless, it seems that a preoperative weight loss programme seems beneficial in terms of preoperative weight loss, postoperative physical activity and improved mental health postinterventional. The use of a core outcome set is recommended for future studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) prospective study cohort was created to address limitations in the literature regarding the relationship between surgical weight loss and psychosocial, health, behaviour and environmental factors. The BELONG cohort is unique because it contains 70% gastric sleeve and 64% patients with non-white race/ethnicity and was developed with strong stakeholder engagement including patients and providers. PARTICIPANTS The BELONG cohort study included 1975 patients preparing to have bariatric surgery who completed a baseline survey in a large integrated health system in Southern California. Patients were primarily women (84%), either black or Hispanic (59%), with a body mass index (BMI) of 45.1±7.4 kg/m2, age 43.3±11.5 years old, and 32% had at least one comorbidity. FINDINGS TO DATE A total of 5552 patients were approached before surgery between February 2016 and May 2017, and 1975 (42%) completed a baseline survey. A total of 1203 (73%) patients completed the year 1 and 1033 (74%) patients completed the year 3 postoperative survey. Of these survey respondents, 1341 at baseline, 999 at year 1, and 951 at year 3 were included in the analyses of all survey and weight outcome data. A total of 803 (60% of eligible patients) had survey data for all time points. Data collected were self-reported constructs to support the proposed theoretical model. Height, weight and BMI were abstracted from the electronic medical record to obtain the main outcomes of the study: weight loss and regain. FUTURE PLANS We will collect self-reported constructs and obtain height, weight and BMI from the electronic medical record 5 years after bariatric surgery between April 2022 and January 2023. We will also collect patient experiences using focus groups of 8-12 patients each throughout 2022.

Preoperative Weight Loss as a Predictor of Bariatric Surgery Postoperative Weight Loss and Complications. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:86-93. [PMID: 34145492 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-021-05055-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between preoperative weight loss and bariatric surgery outcomes remains unclear. We explored the utility of preoperative weight loss as a predictor of postoperative weight loss success. Additionally, we examined the association of preoperative weight loss with perioperative complication rates. METHODS Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent primary sleeve gastrectomy or primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for weight loss at a single institution between January 2003 and November 2017. Additional follow-up was obtained by a postoperative standardized patient questionnaire. Statistical analysis consisted of bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Our study included 427 patients. Majority were female (n = 313, 73.3%) and underwent sleeve gastrectomy (n = 261, 61.1%). Average age was 45.6 years, and average follow-up was 6.3 years. Greater preoperative weight loss was associated with decreased length of stay (1.8 vs 1.3 days) in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that preoperative weight loss was not associated with postoperative weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative weight loss is not predictive of postoperative weight loss success after bariatric surgery. Greater preoperative weight loss was associated with a mild decreased in length of stay but was not associated with a reduction in operative time, overall complication rates, ICU admissions, or intraoperative complications. The inconclusive literature and our findings do not support the medical necessity of weight loss prior to bariatric surgery for the purpose of reducing surgical complications or predicting successful postoperative weight loss success.

Abstract
We are a diverse collective of researchers who are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of marginalised individuals. This article is a response to, and critique of, the DentalSlim Diet Control research. This device revises a controversial 1970s weight-loss technology connected to poor health outcomes, which is indicative of a culture that consistently promotes harm to fat and other marginalised communities.We address the historical context in which unruly bodies, particularly fat, and Indigenous bodies have been the site of unethical investigation conducted under the auspices of medical research. Existence outside the normative white, male, cis physical ideal demands regulation, and disciplinary measures. We demonstrate how Brunton et al.'s research is underpinned by anti-fat attitudes and assumptions which impose this punitive physical intervention onto healthy people in a way that should not be acceptable in medical research.Further, we address a range of harms, giving attention to Māori and to individuals with eating disorders, along with issues of research integrity. We argue that no ethics committee should have approved this research, no academic journal should have published it, and no member of the dental and medical community should promote or prescribe this device.

[PMID: 34836331 PMCID: PMC8625904 DOI: 10.3390/nu13114078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Australia has one of the highest prevalences of obesity in the developed world with recognised gaps in patient access to obesity services. This non-randomised before and after study investigated the health benefits and patient acceptability of integrating the Get Healthy Service, a state-funded telephone-delivered coaching service in Australia, as an adjunct to multidisciplinary care for adults attending a public obesity service. Forty-one participants received multidisciplinary care alone while 39 participants were subsequently allocated to receive adjunctive treatment with the Get Healthy Service. Weight, body mass index, glycosylated haemoglobin, measurement of hepatic steatosis and liver enzymes were collected at baseline and 6 months. Participant evaluation was obtained post intervention. Statistically significant reductions from baseline were achieved for both control and intervention with respect to weight (−6.7 ± 2.2 kg, p = 0.01; −12.6 ± 3.2, p = 0.002), body mass index (−2.3 ± 0.8, p = 0.01; −4.8 ± 1.2 kg/m2, p = 0.002) and glycosylated haemoglobin (−0.2 ± 0.2%, p = 0.2 (NS); −0.7 ± 0.2%, p = 0.02), respectively. There were no significant differences in steatosis or liver enzymes or in outcomes between control and intervention cohorts. A high level of patient acceptability was reported. Integrating telephone-delivered coaching provided non-inferior care and high levels of patient satisfaction. Telephone coaching aligned with the principles of an obesity service should be trialled to improve patient access to obesity interventions.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Insurance Requirements for Supervised Weight Loss Prior to Bariatric Surgery. Obes Surg 2021; 31:5396-5408. [PMID: 34570304 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05731-0] [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: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Many insurance plans impose strict criteria mandating preoperative weight loss attempts to limit patient's access to surgery. Preoperative acute weight loss has been hypothesized to reduce perioperative risk and to identify compliant patients who may have improved long-term weight loss. In this review, the evidence from studies examining clinical and weight loss outcomes both with and without preoperative weight loss are summarized. Although preoperative weight loss may have modest impact on some factors related to perioperative conduct, the evidence does not support these programs' effectiveness at promoting long-term weight loss. Provision of weight loss surgery should not be contingent on completion of insurance-mandated weight loss goals preoperatively, and these programs may, through patient attrition, actually do more harm than good.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most efficacious treatment for obesity, though it is not free from complications. Preoperative conditioning has proved beneficial in various clinical contexts, but the evidence is scarce on the role of prehabilitation in bariatric surgery. We describe the protocol and pilot study of a randomized (ratio 1:1), parallel, controlled trial assessing the effect of a physical conditioning and respiratory muscle training programme, added to a standard 8-week group intervention based on therapeutical education and cognitive-behavioural therapy, in patients awaiting bariatric surgery. The primary outcome is preoperative weight-loss. Secondary outcomes include associated comorbidity, eating behaviour, physical activity, quality of life, and short-term postoperative complications. A pilot sample of 15 participants has been randomized to the intervention or control groups and their baseline features and results are described. Only 5 patients completed the group programme and returned for assessment. Measures to improve adherence will be implemented and once the COVID-19 pandemic allows, the clinical trial will start. This is the first randomized, clinical trial assessing the effect of physical and respiratory prehabilitation, added to standard group education and cognitive-behavioural intervention in obese patients on the waiting list for bariatric surgery. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT0404636.

Surg Endosc 2021; 36:2591-2599.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standards for preoperative bariatric patient selection include a thorough psychological evaluation. Using patients "red-flagged" during preoperative evaluations, this study aims to identify trends in long-term follow-up and complications to further optimize bariatric patient selection. METHODS A multidisciplinary team held a case review conference (CRC) to discuss red-flagged patients. A retrospective chart review compared CRC patients to control patients who underwent bariatric surgery in the same interval. Patients under 18 years old, undergoing revisional bariatric surgery, or getting band placement were excluded. High-risk characteristics causing CRC inclusion, preoperative demographics, percent follow-up and other postoperative outcomes were collected up to 5 years postoperatively. If univariate analysis revealed a significant difference between cohorts, multivariable analysis was performed. RESULTS Two hundred and fifty three patients were red-flagged from 2012 to 2013, of which 79 underwent surgery. After excluding 21 revisions, 3 non-adult patients, and 6 band patients, 55 red-flagged patients were analyzed in addition to 273 control patients. Patient age, sex, initial BMI, ASA, and co-morbidities were similar between groups, though flagged patients underwent RYGB more frequently than control patients. Notably, percent excess BMI loss and percent follow-up (6 months-5 years) were similar. In multivariable analysis, minor complications were more common in flagged patients; and marginal ulcers, endoscopy, and dilation for stenosis were more common in flagged versus control patients who underwent RYGB. Perforation, reoperation, revision, incisional hernia, and internal hernia were statistically similar in both groups, though reoperation was significantly more common in patients with multiple reasons to be flagged compared to controls. CONCLUSION Bariatric patients deemed high risk for various psychosocial issues have similar follow-up, BMI loss, and major complications compared to controls. High-risk RYGB patients have greater minor complications, warranting additional counseling of high-risk patients.

Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery in Morbidly Obese End-Stage Kidney Disease Patients as Preparation for Kidney Transplantation. Matched Pair Analysis in a High-Volume Bariatric and Transplant Center. Obes Surg 2021; 30:2708-2714.

Abstract
Background The number of morbidly obese kidney transplant candidates is growing. They have limited access to kidney transplantation and are at a higher risk of postoperative complications. Bariatric surgery is considered as a safe weight loss method in those patients. Objectives Matched pair analysis was designed to analyze the preparatory and postoperative weight loss after bariatric procedures in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and non-ESKD morbidly obese patients. Methods Twenty patients with ESKD underwent bariatric surgery in our Centre of Excellence for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery between 2015 and 2019 (nine one-anastomosis gastric bypasses, nine Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses, and two sleeve gastrectomies). They were compared with matched pairs from a dataset of 1199 morbidly obese patients without ESKD. Data on demographic factors and comorbidities was recorded. BMI was obtained at the start of the preparatory period preceding the bariatric procedure, at the time of procedure, and during the 1-year follow-up. Results The ESKD and non-ESKD patients did not differ significantly in preoperative weight loss (13.00 ± 11.69 kg and 15.22 ± 15.96 kg respectively, p = 0.619). During the 1-year follow-up, the weight loss was similar to the non-ESKD group. In the first 3 months, faster weight loss in ESKD was observed. Initial and follow-up BMI values did not differ significantly between groups. We demonstrated that obese patients with ESKD can lose weight as effectively as non-ESKD patients. Conclusion Morbidly obese ESKD patients have an equal weight loss to patients without ESKD. Bariatric surgery could improve access to kidney transplantation and may potentially improve transplantation outcomes of obese patients with ESKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight loss after bariatric surgery is largely predicted by adherence to diet and lifestyle changes. There is no validated measure of self-reported adherence to a range of behaviors including self-monitoring, portion control, healthy food choice, and awareness of hunger and satiety. OBJECTIVES The goal of the present study was to develop and provide initial evidence for the validity of the Weight Management Skills Questionnaire, a measure of adherence to these changes, by identifying its factor structure and relating the total score and subscale scores to baseline BMI, weight change during a preoperative education program, dysregulated eating, and binge eating disorder (BED). SETTING University hospital, USA. METHODS Four hundred twenty-two bariatric surgery candidates responded the WMSQ and measures of eating behavior. Weight collected at the beginning, midpoint, and end of the presurgical program was used to compute percent total weight loss (%TWL) prior to surgery. Hierarchical factor analysis was used to explore the factor structure of the WMSQ while allowing the items to load onto a single general factor reflecting overall adherence to behavioral weight management. RESULTS The WMSQ has three interpretable subfactors, with all items loading onto the general factor. All scales were unrelated to starting BMI; total score and subfactors measuring general and bariatric-specific weight management skills were associated with %TWL. The scale measuring hunger/satiety responsiveness was negatively related to dysregulated eating/BED. CONCLUSIONS The WMSQ may be a useful tool in future research exploring the key weight management skills associated with successful weight loss before and after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
An adequate protein intake prevents the loss of fat-free mass during weight loss. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) jeopardizes protein intake due to post-operative dietary restriction and intolerance to protein-rich foods. The purpose of this study is to evaluate protein intake in the first three months after SG. We evaluated, 1 month and 3 months after surgery, 47 consecutive patients treated with SG. Protein intake, both from foods and from protein supplementation, was assessed through a weekly dietary record. Patients consumed 30.0 ± 10.2 g of protein/day on average from foods in the first month, with a significant increase to 34.9 ± 4.8 g of protein/day in the third month (p = 0.003). The use of protein supplementation significantly increased total protein intake to 42.3 ± 15.9 g protein/day (p < 0.001) in the first month and to 39.6 ± 14.2 g of protein/day (p = 0.002) in the third one. Compliance with supplement consumption was 63.8% in the first month and only 21.3% in the third month. In conclusion, both one and three months after SG, protein intake from foods was not sufficient. The use of modular supplements seems to have a significant impact on protein intake, but nevertheless it remains lower than recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, but currently, only 1-2% of all eligible patients undergo surgery each year. This study examined which factors were associated with a patient receiving bariatric surgery after referral in a real-world healthcare setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current study used the baseline survey and electronic medical record (EMR) data from the Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) study (n = 1975). Predictors of who did (n = 1680) and who did not (n = 295) have surgery were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Participants (n = 1975; 42.4% response rate) were primarily women (84%) and either non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic (60%). In the fully adjusted multivariate model, the strongest predictors of having surgery were being a woman (OR = 3.17; 95% CI = 2.15, 4.68; p < .001) and losing at least 5% of their body weight in the year before surgery (OR = 3.16; 95% CI = 2.28, 4.38; p < .001). The strongest predictors of not having surgery were a ≥ BMI 50 kg/m2 (OR = .39; 95% CI = .27, .56; p < .001) and having a higher physical comorbidity burden (OR = .84; 95% CI = .75, .94; p = .004). CONCLUSIONS Practices such as 5-10% total weight loss before surgery and selection of patients with safer operative risk profiles (younger with lower comorbidity burden) may inadvertently contribute to under-utilization of bariatric surgery among some demographic subpopulations who could most benefit from this intervention.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is increasing exponentially to address the steep rise in the prevalence of severe obesity. Most centers require pre-specified preoperative weight loss before allowing patients to receive surgery. We examined the current evidence surrounding the potential benefits of this requirement on postoperative outcomes. We reviewed the current literature by conducting a multistage advance electronic search in Ovid®/MEDLINE® and PubMed for publications indexed after 2008 reporting preoperative weight loss and postoperative outcomes. Thirteen original publications, three randomized control trials (RCT), and five systematic reviews that met inclusion criteria were included. These were analyzed with regards to weight loss before surgery and postoperative outcomes. There were varied reports regarding the significant effect of preoperative weight loss. Six of the original articles (50%) did not identify a significant difference in the outcome while two of the RCT (essentially the same patient population, started in 2007 and reanalyzed in 2009) demonstrated some advantage. A later RCT (2012) did not show any advantage, albeit in the short term. The results of the systematic reviews, some with heterogenic designs, show no conclusive evidence that weight loss before surgery conferred improved postoperative outcomes. There is not enough high-quality evidence to back up the requirement of pre-specified preoperative weight loss before receiving surgery. Further validation of the possible benefits of pre-specified preoperative weight loss may need to be carried out.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for people with morbid obesity, and certain interventions could enhance its long-term results. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and trial registers up to January 1, 2020. Randomized controlled trials, where behavioral lifestyle or nutritional interventions were provided perioperatively were included. Primary outcome was weight change. Two reviewers independently performed each stage of the review. Altogether 6652 references were screened. 31 studies were included for qualitative synthesis and 22 studies for quantitative synthesis. Interventions varied greatly, thus limiting possibility of synthesizing all results. Six groups of interventions were discerned, and we used standardized mean differences for synthesis. Low to very-low certainty evidence suggests that physical activity, nonvitamin nutritional interventions, vitamins, psychotherapy, and counseling but not combined interventions might bring some benefit regarding short-term postsurgery follow-ups (up to 12 mo), but the estimates varied and results were not statistically significant, except for 12 months follow-ups regarding counseling. Psychotherapy and counseling, but not vitamins and combined interventions, may provide some benefit at longer follow-ups (over 12 mo), but the certainty of evidence was low to very-low and statistically significant results were observed in comparisons including data from single studies with small sample sizes only. Included studies expressed an outcome "weight change" using 20 different measures. Misreporting of data and huge variety of outcomes do not benefit systematic analyses and may possibly lead to confusion of both researchers and readers. We suggest that authors follow a predefined set of outcomes when reporting the results of their studies. The initiative to produce "core outcome set" for clinical trials in bariatric surgery trials is currently underway.

[PMID: 32691530 DOI: 10.1111/cob.12392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is effective in treating obesity in many cases, yet as many as 50% of patients may not achieve the desired weight reduction. Preoperative modifiable behavioural factors could help patient selection and intervention design to improve outcomes. Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and PsychINFO were searched to identify studies published between 1 January 2008 and 14 February 2019 reporting on preoperative modifiable behavioural factors associated with postoperative weight loss, with minimum 2 years follow-up. A total of 6888 articles were screened, 34 met the inclusion criteria. Maladaptive eating behaviours (MEB), preoperative weight loss (PWL), and tobacco use were reported 21, 18, and 3 times respectively. Physical activity and substance abuse were each reported once. Most articles on PWL (72.2%) and MEB (52.4%) reported no association. Positive associations were reported in 22.2% and 14.3% of articles for PWL and MEB respectively. Negative associations were reported in 5.6% and 33.3% of articles for PWL and MEB, respectively. Marked heterogeneity in outcome reporting hindered quantitative synthesis. The current paucity of evidence amenable to synthesis leads to ongoing uncertainty regarding the size and direction of association between PWL and MEB with outcomes following bariatric surgery. Long-term studies with common reporting of outcomes are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty liver in obese patients increases the technical difficulty of bariatric surgery. Pre-operative weight loss with a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) is commonly used to facilitate surgery. Few studies have quantified the systemic effect of rapid pre-operative weight loss on body composition. The objective of this study is to evaluate body composition changes in bariatric surgery patients undergoing a VLCD. METHODS Body composition assessments were performed between August 2017 and January 2019 using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry immediately before and after a 2-week VLCD at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne. Data collected prospectively pre- and post-VLCD included total body weight, excess body weight, body mass index (BMI), lean body mass (LBM), fat mass (FM) and bone mineral content (BMC). The pre- and post-operative results were compared. RESULTS Forty-four patients completed both the 2-week VLCD and body composition assessments. Following a 2-week VLCD, patients lost a mean of 4.5 kg (range - 0.3 to 9.5) in a total body weight and 8.8% (range - 0.9 to 17.1) of excess body weight, with a mean reduction in body mass index of 1.6 kg/m2 (range - 0.2 to 3.1). Loss of LBM was 2.8 kg and was significantly greater than loss of FM, 1.7 kg (p < 0.05). BMC changes were insignificant. CONCLUSION A VLCD is an effective tool for pre-operative weight reduction. In this cohort, a large amount of the total weight loss was attributed to a loss of lean body mass. The impact of significant lean body mass loss and its relationship to short- and long-term health outcomes warrants further assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative weight loss (WL) is associated with higher postoperative WL at 1- to 2-year follow-up in patients who undergo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the possible association between preoperative and postoperative WL at 3-year follow-up and identify risk factors for insufficient WL. SETTING A single-center prospective cohort study in the Netherlands. METHODS Patients undergoing primary LRYGB and laparoscopic conversion from band to bypass (redo LRYGB) were instructed to lose weight preoperatively. Follow-up data were collected 1, 2, and 3 years postoperatively. WL was described as percentage total weight loss (%TWL) and percentage excess body mass index (BMI) loss. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group A lost any amount of weight; group B did not lose any weight or gained weight preoperatively. RESULTS Group A consisted of 230 patients (median preoperative %TWL, 4.8%), and group B consisted of 46 patients (median preoperative %TWL, -1.3%). Median BMI at intake was 44.1 kg/m2. Baseline characteristics were similar. The %TWL and BMI for group A and B in the patients who underwent primary LRYGB at 1, 2, and 3 years was 32.2% (BMI, 28.6 kg/m2) versus 23.9% (BMI, 32.2 kg/m2), 31.8% (BMI, 28.9 kg/m2) versus 25.2% (BMI, 31.9 kg/m2), and 33.3% (BMI, 29.7 kg/m2) versus 21.9% (BMI, 34 kg/m2), respectively, all P < .05. In patients who underwent redo LRYGB no clinically significant differences in postoperative BMI were found. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative WL in primary patients who undergo LRYGB can be useful to identify those at risk of inadequate postoperative WL. In patients who undergo redo LRYGB different risk factors should be considered for prediction of inadequate postoperative WL.

Abstract
Treatment of subjects with morbid obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2 or > 35 kg/m2 with obesity-related complications) often fails. This study explored the biopsychosocial predictors of dropout and weight loss during a combined behavioural and surgical weight-reduction program. Behavioural treatment for six months was followed by bariatric surgery and a visit six months after surgery. The success criterion was the loss of ≥50% of excess BMI above 25 kg/m2 (%EBMIL). Thirty-one men and 113 women with BMI 43.5 kg/m2 (SD 4.3) and 41.8 kg/m2 (SD 3.6), respectively, were included; 115 underwent bariatric surgery (Gastric sleeve: 23; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: 92), and 98 had a follow-up visit six months after surgery. The mean %EBMIL at follow-up was 71.2% (SD 18.5). Treatment success was achieved in 86 subjects. Assuming success in 17 subjects who did not attend the follow-up visit (best possible outcome), 103 out of 144 subjects (72%) achieved successful weight reduction. Cohabitation was the only predictor of accomplishing surgery. Neither weight loss during behavioural therapy nor biopsychosocial factors were found to be clinically significant predictors of weight loss after surgery. The success rate of less than three in four subjects was unsatisfactory. There is a need to improve the regimen and to determine effective alternative interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite preoperative weight loss being a common prerequisite to metabolic and bariatric surgery, its relationship to 30-day postoperative outcomes is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether preoperative weight loss is associated with 30-day postoperative quality outcomes in adults undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. METHODS Retrospective cohort study assessing adults who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy in the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File, years 2015-2017. The relationship between preoperative weight loss and 30-day readmission, reoperation, mortality, intervention, and morbidity was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Preoperative weight loss, body mass index loss, and percent weight loss were not associated with 30-day postoperative overall readmission, reoperation, mortality, or intervention (p > 0.01). Preoperative percent weight loss was associated with increased incidence of superficial surgical site infections (OR = 1.023, 95% CI 1.009-1.036; p = 0.001) and urinary tract infections (OR = 1.044, 95% CI 1.030-1.059; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Weight loss prior to metabolic and bariatric surgery may not be necessary or safe for all patients. Unsafe weight loss prior to surgery may compromise nutrition status and lead to increased infection rates.

Abstract
According to ASMBS, the rate of bariatric surgery increased from 158,000 in 2011 to 196,000 in 2015. Nevertheless, this growth in invasive techniques does not eliminate unhealthy habits, so lifestyle modification such as healthy nutrition and correct physical activity programs may improve surgical results. The objective of the present narrative review was to categorize the guidelines related to nutrition, physical activity, and supplement prescription before and after bariatric surgery. The main key words including nutrition, diet, physical activity, exercise, supplements, macronutrients, micronutrients, weight reduction, bariatric surgery, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrostomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch were searched in databases including PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and some other sources such as Google scholar. The recommendations are classified based on the type of surgery. The indications for surgery and the type of bariatric surgery are not included in this review. This review helps medical teams, including bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, and sports medicine specialists, with proper management before and after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
This review addresses the interplay between obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases. It is proposed that obesity, generally defined by an excess of body fat causing prejudice to health, can no longer be evaluated solely by the body mass index (expressed in kg/m2) because it represents a heterogeneous entity. For instance, several cardiometabolic imaging studies have shown that some individuals who have a normal weight or who are overweight are at high risk if they have an excess of visceral adipose tissue-a condition often accompanied by accumulation of fat in normally lean tissues (ectopic fat deposition in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, etc). On the other hand, individuals who are overweight or obese can nevertheless be at much lower risk than expected when faced with excess energy intake if they have the ability to expand their subcutaneous adipose tissue mass, particularly in the gluteal-femoral area. Hence, excessive amounts of visceral adipose tissue and of ectopic fat largely define the cardiovascular disease risk of overweight and moderate obesity. There is also a rapidly expanding subgroup of patients characterized by a high accumulation of body fat (severe obesity). Severe obesity is characterized by specific additional cardiovascular health issues that should receive attention. Because of the difficulties of normalizing body fat content in patients with severe obesity, more aggressive treatments have been studied in this subgroup of individuals such as obesity surgery, also referred to as metabolic surgery. On the basis of the above, we propose that we should refer to obesities rather than obesity.

Abstract
Bariatric and metabolic surgery is increasingly being utilized in Germany and also worldwide. Due to the increased perioperative risk compared to non-obese patients, a detailed and accurate preoperative assessment of the patient is pivotal to improve postoperative and long-term outcomes. The indications for bariatric surgery have shifted in recent years from a certain body mass index (BMI) to comorbidity-based indications. In 2018 the German S3 guidelines for metabolic surgery defined the indications for bariatric surgery as well as the preoperative assessment. The indications for bariatric metabolic operations should be assessed by an interdisciplinary team consisting of surgeons, internists, diabetologists, psychologists and dietitians. It is paramount that surgeon and patient define realistic goals of these operations. Also, the different types of bariatric operation and their long-term consequences should be discussed. Additionally, a thorough endocrinological assessment by an internist or diabetologist with respect to relevant comorbidities of obesity as well as the adjustment of existing therapies are important. An assessment by a mental health professional is also mandatory; however, psychological comorbidities are not a contraindication as long as the patient is being treated and the disease is controlled. A preoperative short-term high-protein and low-carbohydrate fluid nutrition helps to reduce the risk of postoperative complications, especially for patients with a high BMI. A preoperative weight loss in the sense of a mandatory loss of a defined proportion of the body weight is not useful.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has emerged as an increasingly popular weight loss intervention, with larger and more endurable weight loss compared to pharmacological and behavioural interventions. The degree of weight loss patients experience varies, between individuals, surgeries and over time. An explanation as to why differing weight loss trajectories exist post-surgery could be due to the complex interplay of individual differences in relation to eating behaviours and appetite. Thus the aim of this narrative review is to explore literature between 2008 and 2018, to assess the impact of impact of bariatric surgery on food selection and nutrient status, on eating behaviour traits and on disturbed and disordered eating behaviour, to determine their impact of weight loss success and weight loss trajectories. Immediately post-surgery, up until 1-2 years post-surgery, there is a reliance upon the surgery's alteration of the gastrointestinal tract to control food intake and subsequently lose weight. Energy intake is reduced, dietary adherence is higher, supplement intake is higher, appetite ratings are lower, there is a reduction in psychopathology, and an increase in wellbeing. After this point, patients become more susceptible to weight regain, as this is the point where passive observation of the weight reducing action of surgery, moves into more cognitive effort, on the part of the individual, to control energy intake. There are various factors which influence an individual's ability to successfully regulate their energy intake post-surgery, such as their level of Disinhibition, Restraint, Hunger, Emotional Eating, Uncontrolled Eating, psychopathology and wellbeing. The need for continued psychological and nutritional support post-surgery is necessary to reduce weight regain susceptibility.

Abstract
Background Some bariatric practices, mainly those conducted under public-funded services, have adopted achieving a target preoperative weight loss (PrWL) before offering surgery. There are varied opinions on the correlation between preoperative and postoperative weight loss (PoWL) for the different surgical options. This study investigated the impact of target PrWL on PoWL for patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Materials and methods A longitudinal retrospective cohort study was carried out on patients who had documented preoperative weight before LSG (n=155) from the authors' institution between February 2008 to October 2017. Patients were grouped into two cohorts based on meeting the 5% target PrWL or not. The endpoint included percent postoperative weight loss (% PoWL) at one year and two to three years. Results A total of 155 individuals were identified and analysed. Of these patients, 78.7% of them (n=122) achieved the 5% target PrWL (target group) while 21.3% (n= 33) did not (non-target group). At one year, there was no statistical significant difference in the mean % PoWL between the non-target and target groups (22.3 ± 8.1% versus 19.4 ± 11.8% p value= 0.08). A similar observation was made at two-three years, where the mean % PoWL in the non-target group was 14.7 ± 10.7% versus 16.3 ± 14.4% in the target group (p value= 0.07). Our further analysis highlighted a statistically significant weak inversely proportional correlation between % PrWL and % PoWL at one year and two to three years. Conclusion Meeting target PrWL does not significantly impact on PoWL after LSG. Therefore, it should not serve as exclusion criteria for eligible patients who are in need of surgery.

Abstract
In bariatric practice, a preoperative weight loss of at least 5% is recommended. However, the hypocaloric diets prescribed vary and no consensus exists. This study examined the efficacy of preoperative diets in achieving 5% weight loss. From a systematic literature search, eight randomised controlled trials (n = 862) were identified. Half of the trials used a "very-low-calorie diet" whilst the rest employed a "low-calorie diet". Only five diets achieved ≥ 5% weight loss over varying durations and energy intakes. By inference, compliance with a 700-1050 kcal (2929-4393 kJ) diet, consisting of moderate carbohydrate, high protein and low/moderate fat, for 3 weeks is likely to achieve 5% weight loss. A low-carbohydrate diet (< 20 g/day) may achieve this target within a shorter duration. Additional research is required to validate these conclusions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes in the body composition of morbidly obese patients induced by a very low-calorie diet. METHODS We evaluated 120 patients selected from a university hospital. Body composition was assessed before and after the diet provided during hospitalization, and changes in weight, body mass index, and neck, waist and hip circumferences were analyzed. Bioimpedance was used to obtain body fat and fat-free mass values. The data were categorized by gender, age, body mass index and diabetes diagnosis. RESULTS The patients consumed the diet for 8 days. They presented a 5% weight loss (without significant difference among groups), which represented an 85% reduction in body fat. All changes in body circumference were statistically significant. There was greater weight loss and a greater reduction of body fat in men, but the elderly showed a significantly higher percentage of weight loss and greater reductions in body fat and fat-free mass. Greater reductions in body fat and fat-free mass were also observed in superobese patients. The changes in the diabetic participants did not differ significantly from those of the non-diabetic participants. CONCLUSIONS The use of a VLCD before bariatric surgery led to a loss of weight at the expense of body fat over a short period, with no significant differences in the alteration of body composition according to gender, age, body mass index and diabetes status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We undertook a survey of all bariatric centres in Scotland in order to describe current pre- and post-operative care, to estimate their costs and explore differences in financial impact. METHODS A questionnaire was distributed to each health centre. Descriptive statistics were used to present average cost per patient along with 95% confidence intervals, and the range of costs. RESULTS Results show nearly a five-fold difference in costs per patient for pre-operative services (range £226 - £1071) and more than a three-fold difference for post-operative services (range £259 - £896). CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of evidence base and a clear requirement for the evaluation of bariatric surgical services to identify the care pathways pre- and post-surgery which lead to largest improvements in health outcomes and remain cost-effective.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim was to investigate whether preoperative weight loss results in improved clinical outcomes in surgical patients with clinically significant obesity.
Methods
This was a systematic review and aggregate data meta-analysis of RCTs and cohort studies. PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL Plus databases were searched from inception to February 2018. Eligibility criteria were: studies assessing the effect of weight loss interventions (low-energy diets with or without an exercise component) on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing any surgical procedure. Data on 30-day or all-cause in-hospital mortality were extracted and synthesized in meta-analyses. Postoperative thromboembolic complications, duration of surgery, infection and duration of hospital stay were also assessed.
Results
A total of 6060 patients in four RCTs and 12 cohort studies, all from European and North American centres, were identified. Most were in the field of bariatric surgery and all had some methodological limitations. The pooled effect estimate suggested that preoperative weight loss programmes were effective, leading to significant weight reduction compared with controls: mean difference –7·42 (95 per cent c.i. –10·09 to –4·74) kg (P < 0·001). Preoperative weight loss interventions were not associated with a reduction in perioperative mortality (odds ratio 1·41, 95 per cent c.i. 0·24 to 8·40; I2 = 0 per cent, P = 0·66) but the event rate was low. The weight loss groups had shorter hospital stay (by 27 per cent). No differences were found for morbidity.
Conclusion
This limited preoperative weight loss has advantages but may not alter the postoperative morbidity or mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and its consequences have now reached worldwide pandemic proportions. Among treatments, bariatric interventions are the most effective for weight reduction. Here, we describe the change in anthropometric measurements (AMs) of 615 adult bariatric procedure patients seen in the private practice of a registered dietitian (RD) in Bogotá, Colombia. METHODS Observational retrospective study of AMs recorded between 1996 and 2013 for patients who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG, n = 290), laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB, n = 207), and laparoscopic Roux-EN-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB, n = 36) or the non-surgical gastric balloon (GB, n = 82) procedure. Patients had three bimonthly follow-up visits. Paired t tests compared baseline (first) and 6-month (fourth) follow-up visit values. RESULTS Differences in AMs between the baseline and fourth visits were statistically significant for the surgical interventions. A mean weight loss of 22 kg, equivalent to a 22% total body weight loss, together with significant reduction of the waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR)(p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI)(p < 0.001), was observed across all procedures. CONCLUSIONS The use of multiple AMs enables a comprehensive assessment of body composition in patients who undergo bariatric procedures. Our study is a useful resource for international future reference and highlights the impact that the RD can have on understanding and influencing the effectiveness of bariatric procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Super obese patients are recommended to lose weight before bariatric surgery. The effect of intragastric balloon (IGB)-induced weight loss before laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGBP) has not been reported. The aim of this prospective randomized multicenter study was to compare the impact of preoperative 6-month IGB with standard medical care (SMC) in LGBP patients. METHODS Patients with BMI >45 kg/m2 selected for LGBP were included and randomized to receive either SMC or IGB. After 6 months (M6), the IGB was removed and LGBP was performed in both groups. Postoperative follow-up period was 6 months (M12). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients requiring ICU stay >24 h; secondary criteria were weight changes, operative time, hospitalization stay, and perioperative complications. RESULTS Only 115 patients were included (BMI 54.3 ± 8.7 kg/m2), of which 55 underwent IGB insertion. The proportion of patients who stayed in ICU >24 h was similar in both groups (P = 0.87). At M6, weight loss was significantly greater in the IGB group than in the SMC group (P < 0.0001). Three severe complications occurred during IGB removal. Mean operative time for LGBP was similar in both groups (P = 0.49). Five patients had 1 or more surgical complications, all in the IGB group (P = 0.02). Both groups had similar hospitalization stay (P = 0.59) and weight loss at M12 (P = 0.31). CONCLUSION IGB insertion before LGBP induced weight loss but did not improve the perioperative outcomes or affect postoperative weight loss.

Abstract
Following lifestyle intervention programs based on dietary restriction and habitual physical activity, weight loss, however large, is reported to peak within six months. Despite maintenance protocols, only few cases continue to lose weight thereafter. The majority of cases regain weight and adherence to lifestyle changes are fostered by long-term contact with a supportive team. In general, surgical procedures are reported to produce much larger weight loss and to impact more favorably on long-term weight loss maintenance. Areas covered: We performed a PubMed search on lifestyle modification studies, focusing on the role of behavior programs for the long-term management of obesity in comparison with surgical procedures. Behaviorally-achieved weight loss outcomes can be improved by integrating standard behavior therapy with self-regulation cognitive skills, motivational interviewing and/or phone/internet-based recall systems. Expert commentary: Clinically-important long-term weight loss is achievable by behavior therapy in a small proportion of subjects with obesity, however severe, through personalized programs associating lifestyle modification interventions, with procedures aimed at developing commitment and responsibility skills. A new area of research is the integration of cognitive-behavior therapy with bariatric (metabolic) surgery, either pre- or post-operatively, to exploit long-term adherence to healthy diet and habitual physical activity.
