“…There are several different types of bariatric surgery procedures, such as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy. Depending on the selected surgery, weight loss is achieved through one or more mechanisms of action, including the restriction of stomach capacity, caloric malabsorbtion, and/or reduction of hunger cues through hormonal disruption (Herron and Roohipour, 2011). Healthy eating, strict portion control, moderate activity, and vitamin supplementation are required post-surgery in order to sustain weight loss.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess multidimensional body image concerns in a sample of obese women seeking bariatric surgery at an outpatient hospital clinic in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of obese adult women seeking bariatric surgery at an outpatient medical clinic in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (n=148) completed various self-report measures of body image concerns, including body image dysphoria, body image quality of life, body image investment, and appearance satisfaction. Participant scores were compared to normative data. Correlations between body image concern measures and body mass index (BMI) were examined. Findings – Participants endorsed more body image dysphoria, more negative body image quality of life, and less appearance satisfaction than normative samples. BMI was not correlated with body image concern scores. Practical implications – Interventions aimed at reducing body image disturbance in obese women should target multiple components of body image concern. Decisions about who should receive interventions should not be based on BMI status. Originality/value – The majority of research on body image concerns focuses exclusively on evaluative constructs such as body image dissatisfaction. The current study examined affective, cognitive, and behavioural body image constructs. A better understanding of the multidimensional nature of body image concerns in obese women seeking bariatric surgery informs the development of effective, targeted interventions.

“…6 Currently, the most commonly performed bariatric operations in the United States include the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and the bilio-pancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. 7 Bariatric surgery has been shown to be effective in reducing comorbidities related to obesity as well as overall mortality. Patients being evaluated as potential candidates for bariatric surgery undergo thorough, comprehensive evaluations conducted by a multidisciplinary team aimed at evaluating surgical, medical, and psychological conditions.…”

Background: Routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) prior to bariatric surgery has not been consistently shown to change the management of the patient. A study was performed to estimate the proportion of patients undergoing bariatric surgery evaluation who had abnormal findings on preoperative EGD that resulted in alteration of management and, second, to evaluate potential risk factors for occurrence of abnormal findings on the EGD. Methods: An observational, retrospective study in which all 232 patients who were cleared to undergo bariatric surgery and who underwent preoperative EGD between 2006 and 2013 were included at a single tertiary dedicated bariatric center for weight loss management. Abnormal findings on screening EGD and medical or surgical management alteration based on the EGD findings were reviewed. Results: Abnormal findings on screening EGD were found in 143 patients (61.6%). Thirty-five patients had medical management altered (15.1%), while four patients (1.7%) had surgical management altered. Being aged > 55 years and the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease were associated with occurrence of an abnormal finding on screening EGD. Conclusions: While abnormalities on preoperative EGD are often found in patients undergoing bariatric surgery evaluation, rarely do the findings change surgical management. Alternative methods for screening for common GI conditions should be considered in appropriate patients.

“…The main bariatric surgical procedures are gastric bypass (GBP) or the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP), laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS). [119][120][121][122][123][124] Significant weight loss was noted after LRYGBP, LAGB, and LSG however, LRYGB procedures have a better outcome and greater reduction in BMI as compared to LAGB and LSG on a long-term basis. 125…”

The prevalence of obesity has been continually increasing, as have its associated comorbidities and health care costs. Effective management of obesity and early intervention measures are necessary to overcome this global issue. The responsibility for preventing and managing this global epidemic does not lie solely on an individual, but also on the entire health care system. Policy makers—nationally and globally—must play their roles to solve the issue. In this review article, we examine methods of controlling and managing obesity through interventions, such as a low caloric diet, physical exercise, pharmacological guidance, and bariatric surgical procedures. While health care professionals should educate patients about all available treatment options for severe obesity, bariatric surgical procedures have increased in popularity and are considered very beneficial with outcomes fruitful in managing severe obesity
