13 Components of an Effective Obesity Management Program Surgery or Medications Behavior Modification Physical Activity Healthy Eating Pattern Wadden TA, Foster GD. Behavioral treatment of obesity. Med Clin North Am. 2000;84: Stumbo, PH, et. al. Dietary and medical therapy of obesity. Surg Clin N Am 85(2005) Why Use Medications? Medications help patients lose more weight when they are trying to diet. Medications can: reduce hunger, improve satisfaction with smaller meals, make patients resist tempting foods or foods they crave or, in the case of Xenical, help reinforce a low fat diet. 13

14 Why do we need drugs for weight loss? To help patients better adhere to their dietary plan, To help more patients achieve meaningful weight loss, To produce more weight loss so that health benefits will be greater, and To help patients sustain lost weight. General Principles of Choosing Weight Loss Medications ALL medications will be most effective when used in conjunction with a reduced calorie meal plan and increased physical activity The more you can be accountable, (food and exercise logs, daily weights, frequent follow ups*,etc), the greater weight loss. Not every medication will work on every patient Need to have REALISTIC expectations I have lost 35 pounds and hit a plateau I ve developed a tolerance to my medication and it doesn t work anymore 14

15 Phentermine/Topiramate ER (Qsymia) May help migraine headaches or chronic pain Produced most weight loss of all medications approved Has been used with patients with depression Pregnancy fetal toxicity Glaucoma HYPERthyroidism Uncontrolled blood pressure Heart problems (arrhythmias, etc) Capsules taken daily Produces ~ 12% weight loss after 1 year Lorcaserin (Belviq) Well tolerated; few side effects May help blood sugar control Should not increase blood pressure Caution with depression medications like fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), etc Tablet taken twice daily Produces ~7% weight loss after 1 year 15

16 Naltrexone SR/Bupropion SR (Contrave) Smoker Alcohol use Seizure disorder Uncontrolled blood pressure Opioid use oxycodone Tablets taken twice daily Produces ~ 9% weight loss at 1 year Liraglutide 3.0 mg Diabetic History of pancreatitis Thyroid cancer Kidney problems Injected daily Produces ~ 9% weight loss ay 1 year 16

17 Odds of Reducing Body Weight by % Categories at 1 Year with Adjunctive Medication Among those who Complete Treatment* % Phen/TPM 7.5/46 Phen/TPM 15/92 lorcaserin 10 BID bupropion/naltrexone 32/360 5% weight loss 10% weight loss liraglutide 3.0 *combined with lifestyle modification Choosing the Right Medication for the Right Patient. Do you have history of glaucoma? Qsymia and Contrave aren t the best choice for you Do you have kidney stones? Avoid Qsymia Do you have thyroid cancer or pancreatitis? Saxenda is not for you Do you take an SSRI for depression? Qysmia has been used in that patient population Do you need better blood sugar control? Saxenda and Belviq would be your best option Do you have insurance coverage? NO? Contrave has special pricing 17

20 Operations for Morbid Obesity Gastric Restriction Combination Malabsorption Sleeve Gastrectomy Duodenal Switch RY-Gastric Bypass Gastric Banding BPD/DS Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Advantages Excellent excess weight loss (60-75%) Very good long-term results Solid food well tolerated Disadvantages Potential nutrient deficiencies 20

21 Adjustable Gastric Band Sleeve Gastrectomy 21

22 Appeal of Sleeve Gastrectomy Simpler operation Good safety profile. No foreign body No adjustments needed. No marginal ulcers. Mild lifelong malabsorption concerns. Satisfactory weight loss Comorbidity resolution rates equivalent to RYGB. But, shorter track record.

29 Summary Bariatric surgery has undergone remarkable evolution, since its origin in the 1950s. The popularity of WLS is due to the obesity epidemic, technical progress, and successful weight loss and safety outcomes. Our field is rich in future prospects in technological advances, and increased understanding of metabolic processes. 29
