Anywhere from 3-12 months (usually 6 months)

50
Q

A

pre-op assessment

51
Q

CI to bariatric surgery

A
  1. Not obese - to tx of HLD, DM, or to reduce CV risk w/o obesity
  2. Inability to comply with nutritional requirements

52
Q

2 ways of how does bariatric surgery work?

A
  1. Restriction
    - limitation of food intake by reducing the stomach’s reservoir capacity via resection
    - bypass
    or
    - creation of a more proximal gastric outlet
  2. malabsorption
    - decreases efficacy of nutrient absorption via shortening length of functional small intestine
    Some surgeries use both restriction and malabsorption
    Some surgeries may also have a neurohormonal effect
53
Q

One of the most common bariatric surgeries
A small gastric pouch is anastomosed to the small bowel
BOTH restrictive and malabsorptive
loses 70% of excess weight

A

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
Also promotes ↑ hormones like GLP-1, ↓ hormones like ghrelin

54
Q

complications from Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

A
  1. healing
    - peritonitis - anastomotic leak
    - abdominal wall hernias
    - stenosis
    - staple disruption
  2. long-term
    - gallstones
    - neuropathy
    - GI symptoms - ulcers
  3. nutritional deficiencies - iron, vitamin B12, folate, calcium, vitamin D
55
Q

Removal of greater curvature of the stomach, leading to a tubular stomach
Often seen as “not as drastic” by pts, increasing in popularity

A

Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG)
Easier and safer to perform than RYGB

56
Q

Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is strictly what type of bariatric surgery?

A

restrictive
Also slows GI motility, ↑ hormones like GLP-1, ↓ hormones like ghrelin

57
Q

complications with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG)

A

less overall than RYGB
1. healing
- surgical site leak (more than RYGB)
- hernias
- staple disruption
2. long-term
- GERD (more than RYGB)
- neuropathy
- N/V
3. nutritional - iron, vitamin B12, folate, calcium, vitamin D (less than RYGB)

58
