Few short-term studies of weight loss have been performed in adult patients with Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) undergoing metabolic rehabilitation. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 45 adult obese PWS patients undergoing a long-term multidisciplinary metabolic rehabilitation program based on diet and physical activity. Body composition was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 36 (80%) patients. The mean (95% CI) weight change was −3.6 (−7.6 to 0.4, p = 0.08) kg at 3 years and −4.6 (−8.5 to −0.8, p = 0.02) kg at 6 years, and that of BMI was −1.7 (−3.4 to 0.1, p = 0.06) kg/m2 at 3 years and −2.1 (−3.8 to −0.4, p = 0.02) kg/m2 at 6 years. A decrease of about 2% in fat mass per unit of body mass was observed, which is in line with the expectations for moderate weight loss. A possibly clinically relevant decrease in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was also observed. These long-term results are important for patients with PWS, which is characterized by severe hyperphagia, behavioral disturbances, and cognitive impairment and is generally considered “resistant” to classical weight loss interventions.

Abstract Background and Objective: Bariatric surgery may lead to an unsuccessful weight loss, weight loss plateau, and even weight regain in different time points after various types of surgery. Despite the numerous studies investigated bariatric surgery-induced weight loss, the long-term results of surgery, after repetitive weight fluctuations, is not really clear and remains as one of the most important concerns. The aim of the present study was to determine the key time points of weight changes after three types of bariatric surgery, and the estimation of five-year weight loss after surgery. Setting: This is a retrospective cohort study including patients with morbid obesity conducted in the obesity clinic of Minimally Invasive Surgery Research Center of Iran University of Medical Sciences. Methods The subjects underwent one of the three types of bariatric surgeries including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) which had been followed up to five years after surgery. The percentage lost to follow-up was 34% until five-year after surgery. Results The mean %EWL a total of 2567 morbid obese participants (mean age=39.03, mean BMI=45.67) in the first six months after surgery was independent of the type of surgery. Ninth and 24th month after surgery were the times that OAGB and then RYGB induced weight loss sped up rather than LSG, respectively. Weight plateau and weight regain were initiated earlier (at 18th month) and more (18.23% of maximum EWL %) in LSG in the period of five years. The %EWL in time intervals of 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 months after LSG, RYGB, and OAGB, respectively; could estimate the long-term five years %EWL after surgery. Conclusion OAGB provides the fastest and highest %EWL, and LSG induced the earliest and most weight plateau and weight regain during five years interval post-surgery. The pattern of early weight loss could predict the long-term outcome of bariatric surgery. So early identification of suboptimal weight loss could allow consideration of earlier postoperative intervention to enhance long-term weight loss.

There are few long-term nutritional studies in subjects undergoing bariatric surgery that have assessed weight regain and nutritional deficiencies. In this study, we report data 8 years after surgery on weight loss, use of dietary supplements and deficit of micronutrients in a cohort of patients from five centres in central and northern Italy. The study group consisted of 52 subjects (age: 38.1 ± 10.6 y, 42 females): 16 patients had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 25 patients had sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and 11 subjects had adjustable gastric banding (AGB). All three bariatric procedures led to sustained weight loss: the average percentage excess weight loss, defined as weight loss divided by excess weight based on ideal body weight, was 60.6% ± 32.3. Despite good adherence to prescribed supplements, 80.7% of subjects (72.7%, AGB; 76.7%, SG; 93.8 %, RYGB) reported at least one nutritional deficiency: iron (F 64.3% vs. M 30%), vitamin B12 (F 16.6% vs. M 10%), calcium (F 33.3% vs. M 0%) and vitamin D (F 38.1% vs. M 60%). Long-term nutritional deficiencies were greater than the general population among men for iron and among women for vitamin B12.

Obesity is an epidemic in our society, and rates continue to rise, along with comorbid conditions associated with obesity. Unfortunately, obesity remains refractory to behavioral and drug therapy but has shown response to bariatric surgery. Not only can long-term weight loss be achieved, but a majority of patients have also shown improvement of the comorbid conditions associated with obesity. A rise in the use of surgical therapy for management of obesity presents a challenge with an increased number of patients with problems after bariatric surgery. It is important to be familiar with symptoms following bariatric surgery, such as nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding and to utilize appropriate available tests for upper gastrointestinal tract pathology in the postoperative period.

In the general population, bariatric surgery facilitates sustained weight loss and remission of comorbidities (e.g., CVD). The effectiveness among Medicaid beneficiaries, a population with a disproportionately high burden of obesity, remains unclear. We sought to determine if patterns of weight change following bariatric surgery differed in patients with Medicaid compared to commercial insurance. Data were obtained from the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery, an observational cohort study of adults undergoing bariatric surgery (2006-2009) at one of 6 geographically diverse centers. We used group-based trajectory models (PROC TRAJ, SAS) to identify discrete groups of individuals with similar weight trajectories over 5-years; we considered cubic trajectory models with between 1 and 6 groups. We selected the 6-group model based on Bayesian Information Criteria, visual fit and statistical significance of parameter estimates. We tested demographic predictors against trajectory group membership; Medicaid (n=174) vs. Commercial (n=991) was our primary predictor of interest. Medicaid participants had higher mean weight at baseline compared to the commercially insured (307.9 vs. 291.2 lbs), but lost a similar amount of weight over time (74.8 vs 85.0 lbs). All groups experienced the most weight loss in year 1 (Figure). Group 6 was the heaviest at baseline and began to regain weight after year 1; groups 1-5 continued to lose weight through year 2. Group’s 1 & 2 weight remained stable over 5 years while groups 3-6 began to slowly regain weight. Medicaid beneficiaries were more likely to be in group 4 (OR 3.2, 95% CI: 1.2, 8.6), group 5 (OR 5.7, 95% CI: 2.0, 16.1) and group 6 (OR 7.9, 95% CI: 2.5, 25.1) compared to group 1. Medicaid beneficiaries experience substantial long term weight loss. However, they had higher baseline weight and tended to be in groups with less long-term weight loss compared to the commercially insured. Focusing on tailored interventions to specific patient groups could help maintain weight loss.

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The growing prevalence of obesity rates worldwide is associated with an upsurge in its comorbidities, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bariatric surgery is a proven treatment modality for producing sustained weight loss and resolution of associated T2DM providing marked improvement in quality of life with rapid recovery. This study aims to investigate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and mini-gastric bypass (MGB) on obese patients suffering from T2DM in the Indian population and their long-term association with regard to diabetes remission, resolution of comorbidities, and percentage EWL. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective data of obese patients with T2DM (preoperative BMI 45.37 ± 8.1) who underwent bariatric surgery (RYGB, LSG, and MGB) were analyzed in this study over a period of 9 years. The mean follow-up period was 2.2 years. Following surgery, the clinical outcome on BMI, resolution of percentage weight loss, and T2DM were studied. The predictive factors of diabetic remission after surgery were determined. Student’s <i>t</i> test and ANOVA and McNemar’s test were applied. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Out of a total of 274 patients, complete remission of T2DM was achieved in 52.9% (<i>n</i> = 145) with mean fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin values being 6.1 ± 0.769 (<i>p</i> = 0.00) at 1 year after surgery. The independent predictive factors of remission were age, gender, BMI, preoperative comorbidities, and % EWL. Gender had no correlation with the chance of achieving disease remission. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Based on our results, bariatric surgery proves to be a successful treatment option resulting in sustained weight loss in obese patients suffering from T2DM. It is found to be beneficial for the long-term resolution of T2DM and improving comorbidities such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. The outcome of the different surgical methods is found to be similar for all patients irrespective of the independent predictors of complete remission.
