Weight Loss, Type 2 Diabetes, and Nutrition in 355 Patients with Obesity Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy with Transit Bipartition: Two-Year Outcomes
No full textINTRODUCTION: This study examined whether 355 obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) of varying duration and severity experienced equivalent weight loss and T2D remission following a newer sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedure − SG with transit bipartition (SG-TB). METHODS: Primary outcomes were changes in body mass index (BMI), total weight loss (TWL), excess BMI loss (EBMIL), A1C, and diabetes medication use through 24 months. RESULTS: Between December 2015 and December 2019, 399 patients who underwent SG-TB reached the 2-year time point. Follow-up was possible in 355 patients (89.0%): 206 females (58.0%), mean age 51.5 years (24.0–73.0), BMI 34.0 kg/m2 (28.0–50.5), and T2D duration 12.0 years (4.0–37.0). At 2 years, total sample respective mean TWL and EBMIL were 20.2 ± 6.1% (95% CI: 19.5, 20.8) and 87.7 ± 35.2% (84.1, 91.4) corresponding to mean BMI change of 7.0 ± 2.7 kg/m2 (6.7, 7.3) (p < 0.001). T2D duration and severity subgroups experienced comparable BMI and A1C change from baseline (p < 0.001); 281 (79.2%) maintained complete remission. ANOVA showed significant mean increases in vitamin D, calcium, and albumin: overall complication rate, 10.2%; no mortality. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: In 355 patients with obesity who underwent SG-TB, excellent weight loss, T2D, and nutritional outcomes were seen at 2-year follow-up regardless of preoperative T2D duration and severity
Comparison of a pre-bariatric surgery very low-calorie ketogenic diet and the Mediterranean diet effects on weight loss, metabolic parameters, and liver size reduction
No full textAbstract This study compared the effects on weight as well as on metabolic parameters and liver size of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet versus a Mediterranean diet in patients with morbid obesity preparing to undergo bariatric surgery. This prospective comparison study evaluated patients 18–65 years of age who enrolled for bariatric surgery. Study duration was limited to an immediate preoperative period of 15 days. The very low-calorie ketogenic diet incorporated 10–12 kcal/kg/day of energy and 1–1.2 g/kg of protein using Kalibra (Societa Dietetica Medica) (VLCKD-SDM). The Mediterranean diet (MD) included 15–20% protein, 45–50% carbohydrate, and 25–35% fat. Changes in body mass index (BMI), liver size, and anthropometric and metabolic measurements were assessed. Between January 2016 and March 2017, of 45 patients enrolled, 30 completed the study (VLCKD-SDM, n = 15; MD, n = 15). Respective median BMI loss after VLCKD-SDM was 2.7 kg/m2 versus MD 1.4 kg/m2 (p < 0.05); median fat percentage reduction was 3.2 units versus 1.7 units (p < 0.05). Median liver size decreased 5.5% in the VLCKD-SDM group versus 1.7% in the MD group (p < 0.05). Median total cholesterol, and LDL levels decreased in both groups (p < 0.05), with greater relative decreases in the VLCKD-SDM group. Short-term preoperative diet-based weight loss in patients with morbid obesity preparing for bariatric surgery was significantly greater following a very low-calorie ketogenic diet versus a Mediterranean diet. The very low-calorie diet also significantly improved anthropometric and metabolic parameters and reduced preoperative liver size above that of the MD
