Abstract
Background
This Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Clinical Practice Statement (CPS) is intended to provide clinicians an overview of bariatric surgery (i.e., bariatric procedures that improve metabolic disease are often termed "metabolic and bariatric surgery"), gastrointestinal hormones, and the microbiome as they relate to patients with obesity.
Methods
The scientific information for this CPS is based upon published scientific citations, clinical perspectives of OMA authors, and peer review by the Obesity Medicine Association leadership.
Results
This CPS includes the pros and cons of the most common types of bariatric procedures; the roles of gastrointestinal (GI) hormones in regulating hunger, digestion, and postabsorptive nutrient metabolism; and the microbiome's function and relationship with body weight. This CPS also describes patient screening for bariatric surgery, patient care after bariatric surgery, and treatment of potential nutrient deficiencies before and after bariatric surgery. Finally, this CPS explores the interactions between bariatric surgery, GI hormones, and the microbiome.
Conclusions
This Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Clinical Practice Statement (CPS) regarding bariatric surgery, gastrointestinal hormones, and the microbiome is one of a series of OMA CPSs designed to assist clinicians in the care of patients with the disease of obesity. Implementation of appropriate care before and after bariatric surgery, as well as an awareness of GI hormones and the microbiome, may improve the health of patients with obesity, especially patients with adverse fat mass and adiposopathic metabolic consequences.
