20 Obesity Facts ~ Trends In 1960 the obesity rate was 13% Obesity has increased to nationwide epidemic proportions Adult obesity rate was 36.5% ( National Center Health Statistics) Obesity rate for year olds was 21% ( NCHS) Approximately 70% of U.S. adults are overweight (BMI>25) or obese (BMI>30) a total of over 175 million Americans (population 2016 Census) Obesity and overweight combined accounts for 300,000 deaths per year second only to those attributed to tobacco (NIH) The estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion includes: Absenteeism, loss of future earnings and premature death l

21 Co-morbid Conditions - Complications of Obesity Of these: almost 80% of obese adults have one of the following and 40% two or more Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Peripheral Vascular Disease Glaucoma Kidney Disease Retinopathy Cardiovascular Conditions Hypertension Dyslipidemia Coronary Artery Disease Cardiomyopathy Stroke Cancers Endometrial Colon Breast Polycystic Ovarian Disease Infertility Gallstone Disease Musculoskeletal Injuries Premature Death Obstructive Sleep Apnea Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis Osteoarthritis

24 Bariatric Surgery Today Four Types of Most Commonly Performed Bariatric Surgery Procedures Malabsorptive Restrictive Combination Restrictive Biliopancreatic Diversion w/ Duodenal Switch Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Roux en Y Gastric Bypass Adjustable Band Gastroplasty

25 Vertical sleeve new stomach pouch The stomach is restricted by stapling and dividing it vertically and removing more than 85% removed portion stomach This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a very slim banana and measures from 1-5 ounces (30-150cc) Function of the stomach is preserved

26 Vertical sleeve This procedure generates weight loss solely through restriction (reduced stomach volume) Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most common bariatric surgical performed since 2014

27 Roux en Y Gastric Bypass Description A small, 20 to 40ml pouch is created at the top of the stomach. The small bowel is divided and is brought up to the pouch and is reattached (Roux Limb) The other end is connected to the lower portion of the small intestine (Y Limb) The small pouch releases food slowly causing a sensation of fullness with very little food. The biliopancreatic limb preserves the action of the digestive tract

28 Roux en Y Gastric Bypass How it works: Small Pouch Small opening from the pouch to the intestine Bypassed intestine Combination of malabsorptive & restrictive 1967 Mason, Ito, et al. The University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics

29 Adjustable Gastric Band What it is: Inflatable gastric band creating an hour glass shape to the stomach High level of compliance is required for success How it works: A small pouch is created By adding or removing saline the band become more restrictive Adjustments are made to meet individual weight loss needs Your stomach holds less food You feel full faster and longer

33 M I S C O N C E P T I O N S Most people who have bariatric surgery will regain their weight Studies have found that most bariatric surgery patients maintain successful weight-loss long-term (successful being defined as weight loss equal or greater than 50% of excess body weight with program adherence and follow-up Being obese is safer than bariatric surgery Data shows up to an 89% reduction in mortality - also highly significant decreases in mortality rates due to specific diseases Benefits of bariatric surgery health benefits far outweigh the risks The risk of death within 30 days following bariatric surgery is less than other operation including gallbladder Bariatric surgery is the easy way out just diet and exercise The National Institutes of Health Experts Panel recognize that long-term weight-loss, or in other words, the ability to maintain weight-loss, is nearly impossible for those affected by severe obesity by any means other than metabolic and bariatric surgery Bariatric patients have serious health problems due to vitamin and mineral deficiency Nutrient deficiencies following surgery can be avoided with appropriate diet and the use of dietary supplement With follow-up and compliance nutrient deficiencies and any associated health issues are preventable *Data from ASMBS American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

34 Endorsements American Diabetes Association - There is sufficient clinical and mechanistic evidence to support inclusion of metabolic surgery among antidiabetes interventions for people with T2D and obesity. (ADA,2016) American Diabetes Association - The Diabetes Surgery Summit-II guidelines have been formally endorsed by 45 worldwide medical and scientific societies. (ADA,2016) American Heart Association - While there are risks, bariatric surgery is considered a relatively safe procedure, especially in centers that perform many of the procedures. (AHA, 2011) American Heart Association - Bariatric surgery can result in long-term weight loss and significant reductions in cardiac and other risk factors for some severely obese adults. (AHA, 2011) Medicare - "In the right hands, bariatric surgery can benefit patients," Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which sets policy for the federal health program. (CMS, Steve Phurrough,2006)
