of evidence • Patients undergoing various bariatric surgical procedures lost an average of 61.2% of their excess weight (varying from 47.5% for gastric banding to 70.1% for biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch procedures) • Perioperative mortality was relatively low (varying from 0.1% for banding, 0.5% for bypass, to 1.1% for biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch) • Most patients...
Obesity imposes devastating health and financial tolls on society and those who suffer from it. Despite the growing awareness of the problem, the obesity epidemic, along with its associated complications, continues to expand at an alarming rate (1). The current nomenclature used to measure an individuals degree of obesity is BMI, which is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the squa...
Since severe obesity is frequently associated with serious metabolic, cardiovascular and psychological co-morbid conditions, and given the usually unsuccessful results of conservative therapeutic approaches, surgical treatment based on gastric restriction procedures is increasingly recognized as a treatment of choice for morbidly obese persons. Among several surgical approaches designed to prom...
The rising prevalence of morbid obesity and the increased incidence of super-obese patients (BMI >50 kg/m2) seeking surgical treatments has led to the search for surgical techniques that provide adequate EWL with the least possible morbidity. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was initially added as a modification to the biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and then combined with a duodenal switch (DS) in 1988...
BACKGROUND The obesity epidemic is generally monitored by the proportion of the population whose body mass index (BMI) exceeds 30 kg/m2 but this masks the growing proportion of those who are morbidly obese. This issue is important as the adverse health risks amplify as the level of obesity increases. The aim of this study was to determine how the prevalence of morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m2...
AIMS Genome-wide association studies have identified novel BMI/obesity associated susceptibility loci. The purpose of this study is to determine associations with overweight, obesity, morbid obesity and/or general adiposity in a Danish population. Moreover, we want to investigate if these loci associate with type 2 diabetes and to elucidate potential underlying metabolic mechanisms. METHODS 1...
