“…Throughout training, trainees should learn to evaluate patients with obesity and its related comorbidities and post-bariatric surgical patients in a clinical setting. Additionally, they should learn to diagnose and treat obesity-related gastrointestinal conditions, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, gallstone disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, and gastrointestinal malignancies [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Bariatric endoscopy is an emerging subspecialty for gastroenterologists encompassing a broad array of procedures including primary endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies and the treatment of complications of bariatric surgery. In addition, comprehensive understanding of lifestyle intervention and pharmacotherapy are essential to successful outcomes. This review summarizes goals and steps of training for this emerging field.

“…Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in the community, however, there are few data on the epidemiology and relationship between GI symptoms and obesity. 1,2 In the United States, the rates of obesity and morbid obesity have increased dramatically over the last 5 decades, with those classified as being overweight remaining fairly stable during this time period. 1 The financial and functional impact of obesity is enormous.…”

Background/AimsWeight loss is a recognized alarm symptom for organic gastrointestinal (GI) disease, yet the association between weight change (loss or gain) and specific GI symptoms remains poorly described. We assess the associations between GI symptoms and weight change in a population-based sample of Australian adults.MethodsThe prevalence of 26 GI symptoms was determined by a postal survey to 5000 residents in western Sydney, Australia (60% response rate). These were classified a priori into 5 symptom groups–abdominal pain, esophageal symptoms, dysmotility symptoms, diarrhea and constipation. Weight change was measured by two items which assessed weight loss and weight gain. Clinically relevant weight change was defined as a loss or gain of 3 or more kilograms in the past 3 months.ResultsPrevalence estimates for clinically relevant weight loss and gain in the past 3 months were 10.3% and 8.1%, respectively. When the 5 symptom groups were evaluated simultaneously, the dysmotility symptoms of fullness after meals emerged as a predictor of both weight loss (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.32–1.88; P < 0.001) and weight gain (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.72–0.99; P = 0.040), which also included bloating (OR, 1.64; 95% CI 1.46–1.84; P < 0.001). The associations remained significant following adjustment for socio-economic status, body mass index, and eating behaviors.ConclusionsSpecific dysmotility symptoms are independently predictive of both weight loss and weight gain. Different pathogenic mechanisms may be involved.
