Resting metabolic rate and postabsorptive substrate oxidation in morbidly obese subjects before and after massive weight loss
1996
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of resting metabolic rate (RMR) and postabsorptive oxidation of carbohydrates (CHO), lipids (LIP) and proteins (PT) in morbidly obese subjects after long-term stable massive weight reduction. DESIGN: Longitudinal, intervention study of a bilio-pancreatic by-pass. SUBJECTS: Ten (Four men, six women) obese subjects (BMI: 53.7 ± 2.1 kg/m2, men, nine women) control subjects (BMI: 21.4 ± 1.0 kg/m2). MEASUREMENTS: RMR and substrates oxidation (indirect calorimetry), body composition (bioelectrical impedance), plasma concentrations of glucose, FFA, insulin and thyroid hormones before (T0, prior to surgery), during (T1: 1-3 months, and T2: 9-16 months following…
Revisional bariatric surgery due to failure of the initial technique: 25 years of experience in a specialized Unit of Obesity Surgery in Spain.
2019
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of conversion surgery in a bariatric surgery unit with 25 years of experience. Method Retrospective observational study of patients with type II obesity or higher who were reoperated by means of conversion surgery due to weight regain, residual body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2 or Results A total of 112 patients were included, with a mean age of 40.2 years, who initially underwent vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) (32.1%), gastric banding (GB) (23.2%), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) (21.4%) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) (23.2%). The conversion techniques, with a median time between the two surgeries of 70 months, included: RYGB, SG, one-anasto…
Surgical treatment of morbid obesity with biliopancreatic diversion and gastric banding: report on an 8-year experience involving 235 cases
2000
Abstract Study aim: Developments have recently been made in bariatric surgery outside the USA. The aim of this retrospective non-randomized study was to report on our experience regarding biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and non-adjustable gastric banding (GB) in a population of 235 obese patients. Patients and methods: From March 1990 to March 1998, 235 obese patients were operated on, 142 by BDP and 93 by GB, via laparotomy after rigourous selection of the patient population. Results: The mean duration of surgery was 2 h 50 minutes for BPD and 1 h for GB. One postoperative death occurred due to massive pulmonary embolism. Early major complications were frequent in the BPD group ( n = 21) b…
Influences of obesity and weight loss on thyroid hormones. A 3-3.5-year follow-up study on obese subjects with surgical bilio-pancreatic by-pass
1997
The effects of changing body size, energy intake and substrate oxidation on serum T4, FT4, T3, FT3 and TSH were investigated in ten morbidly obese subjects (4 men/6 women; age: 37 ± 6 years; BMI: 53.8 ± 6.5 kg/m2; mean ± SD) who had undergone a surgical bilio-pancreatic by-pass in order to reduce their body weight. The starting value of serum FT3 was inversely related to the BMI (r = -0.63; p < 0.05). After 1-3 months, all the subjects were losing weight and their intake of carbohydrates was almost negligible; at this time a significant reduction of T3 (-14.6%, p < 0.0001), T4 (-19.5%, p < 0.0001), and FT3 (-10.5%, p < 0.001) was observed. Nine to 16 months after surgery, all th…
