3 Changing Semantics Remission of weight Partial Remission of weight Weight regain ELIMINATE THE WORD FAILURE.
4 Number of Patients 50% 100% Weight Loss after RYGB is Widely and Normally Distributed 150 n= % Excess Body Weight Loss at 1 year Hatoum IJ et al. Obesity 2009; 17(1):98-9.
5 Adams T. et al. JAMA September 19, 2012
6 Bariatric Surgery Evidence for Physiological Mechanisms 1. Dramatic effects on hunger and satiety 2. Few patients become underweight after surgery 3. Transient weight gain during pregnancy 4. Little or no weight loss in thin patients or animals 5. Changes in GI endocrine markers ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, amylin 6. Increased energy expenditure (bypass procedures) 7. Ability to reverse effects of surgery with drugs and genetic manipulation
7 Anatomic Dissection of RYGB
8 Gastric Bypass: Five Operations 5. Partial vagotomy
9 Gastric Bypass: Five Operations 1. Isolation of gastric cardia
10 Gastric Bypass: Five Operations 2. Exclusion of distal stomach
11 Gastric Bypass: Five Operations 3. Exclusion of duodenum and proximal jejunum 3 ELS 10 cm 4
12 Gastric Bypass: Five Operations 4. Exposure of distal intestine to undigested nutrients

25 Endocrine Effects of GI Manipulations Ghrelin GLP-1 PYY GIP Gastric Banding Sleeve gastrectomy Gastric Bypass Decreased Initially BPD/DS Post-prandial
26 Clinical Predictors of RYGB Weight Loss Associations with more modest weight loss Increased preoperative BMI Presence of T2DM Duration of T2DM? Relationship with b-cell failure Lack of physical activity Increased patient age Inadequate surgical restriction Pouch size Diameter of gastro-jejunal anastomosis Lack of patient follow-up / compliance None of these predictors is sufficiently powerful to determine clinical practice
27 Carbohydrate eating leads to weight regain When a post GBP patient eats any simple sugar (carbohydrates: rice, pasta, bread, potatoes) then evoke a very strong GLP1 response The GLP1 drives the release of insulin which outlasts the simple sugar in the blood causing a relative low blood sugar which drives eating This occurs over and over all day with subsequent weight regain
28 Intensive Medical/Behavioral Therapy STOP eating any carbs except in green vegetables Need to increase energy expenditure and drive body fat percent below 30% in order to reengage the LEPTIN coupling with metabolism (good evidence for Leptin resistance at Body Fat >30%) Get the original set of parameters to work for the patient
29 So what is there to revise? Possible options: Revise the gastrojejunostomy Take out the distal remnant (decrease ghrelin) Lengthen the Roux limb Convert to Sleeve/ Duodenal switch
