A patient with morbid obesity and several psychiatric comorbidities underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and experienced success with weight loss. However, she experienced lightheadedness, nausea, and a fall and was admitted to the hospital for encephalopathy due to lithium toxicity. The pharmacokinetics of lithium is altered following bariatric surgery. Due to these factors, adjustments were made to the patient’s lithium therapy, her levels were subsequently reduced into the therapeutic range, and she continued with no further issues. Mechanisms of lithium toxicity following bariatric surgery and a monitoring protocol to prevent toxicity are discussed.

Abstract Background Obesity is caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or psychiatric illness. The main aim of obesity therapy is weight loss and maintenance by dietary interventions and increased physical activity. Aim of the Work to review two of the most commonly performed modalities of weight loss namely Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and to study their early post-operative complications, outcomes, effects regarding excess body weight loss (EBWL), life style changes and sustainability. Patients and Methods This is a prospective comparative randomize study included 40 patients presented with morbid obesity with BMI range between (40 to 60 kg/m2) were treated 20 cases by laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy and 20 cases by laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (15 cases one anastomosis gastric bypass – 5 cases Roux-en-Y bypass) in Ain Shams Hospital during the period from October 2017 till May 2018. Cases were followed up monthly for 6 months and after 1 year. Results Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has higher incidence of complications (15%) than the incidence of complications of Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (5%). Conclusion Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass are both safe and effective procedures for the surgical management of morbid obesity. Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass has slightly higher mean of (EBWL%) than Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at 6 months, and a higher mean of (EBWL%) than Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at 1 year follow up.

Laparoscopic Gastric Plication

Introduction. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is an operation that is gaining ground in the treatment of morbid obesity, as it appears to replicate the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with fewer complications.Aim. Review of current literature, especially results on weight loss and complications.Method. 11 (eleven) published articles on laparoscopic gastric plication, of which 1 preclinical study, 8 prospective studies for a total of 521 patients and 2 case reports of unusual complications.Results. Reported Paracentage of EWL in all studies is comparable to Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (around 50% in 6 months, 60–65% in 12 months, 60–65% in 24 months) and total complication rate is at 15,1% with minor complications in 10,7%, major complications in 4,4%. Reoperation rate was 3%, conversion rate was 0,2%, and mortality was zero.Conclusion. Current literature on gastric plication and its modifications is limited and sketchy at times. Low cost, short hospital stay, absence of prosthetic material, and reversibility make it an attractive option. Initial data show that LGCP is effective for short- and medium-term weight loss, complication and reoperation rates are low, and GERD symptoms are unaffected. More data is required, and randomized control trials must be completed in order to reach safe conclusions.

Introduction. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) represents a valid option for morbid obesity, either as a primary or as a staged procedure. The aim of this paper is to report the experience of a single surgeon with LSG as a standalone operation for morbid obesity.Methods. From April 2006 to April 2011, 200 patients underwent LSG for morbid obesity. Each patient record was registered and prospectively collected. In July 2011, a retrospective analysis was conducted.Results. Patients were 128 females and 72 males with a median age of 40.0 years. Median pre-operative BMI was 49.4 kg/m2. Median follow-up was 27.2 months. Median post-operative BMI was 30.4 kg/m2. Median %excess weight loss (%EWL) was 63.6%. Median post-operative hospital stay was 4.0 days in the first 84 cases and 3.0 days in the last 116 cases. Six major post-operative complications occurred (3%): two gastric stump leaks (1%), three major bleedings (1.5%) and 1 (0.5%) bowel obstruction. One case of mortality was registered (0.5%). To date only 4 patients are still in the range of morbid obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2).Conclusions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a formidable operation in the short-term period. Median %EWL in this series was 63.6% at 27.2 months follow-up.
