“…Many of the same team members are found in multidisciplinary obesity clinics and multidisciplinary diabetes clinics. Patients are at the center of both types of team, assisted by a primary physician, nurse and/or nurse practitioner, dietitian, exercise physiologist, and behaviorist ( 36 , 37 ). This core group may be complemented by a pharmacist (drug management currently plays a larger role in diabetes care than in obesity care), and perhaps a case manager.…”

IN BRIEF Rates of obesity and diabetes are growing, as are their costs. Because the two diseases share many key determinants, the paradigms for their treatment overlap. For both, optimal treatment involves a multidisciplinary team following the Chronic Care Model of health care delivery. Combined treatment programs that include 1) a low-calorie diet individualized to patients’ preferences, 2) structured exercise that is also tailored to each patient, and 3) psychotherapy induce the largest weight changes in patients with diabetes. Although diet alone can achieve weight loss, exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy components can enhance the effects of dietary modification. A multidisciplinary team that includes a physician with expertise in pharmacotherapy, a nurse and/or nurse practitioner, a dietitian, an exercise physiologist, and a psychologist can provide a comprehensive weight loss program combining the most effective interventions from each discipline.

“…Often in obese patients it is not easy to establish a relationship of trust, as they often have low self-esteem and sense of helplessness. The nurses who aware of these difficulties, must be able to interact with the patient, creating a comfortable environment and a relationship of trust, and making the patient feel no longer despised [ 21 - 22 ].…”

AbstractObesity is considered a chronic disease, difficult to treat, and is the first cause of death in the world that is predictable. The surgical approach is limited to patients with severe obesity but there is an intermediate group who are not candidates for immediate surgery. The BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB) is recommended for weight reduction as a bridge to bariatric surgery.All patients in the study underwent a psychological evaluation prior to placement of the BIB.

Overweight (body mass index (BMI) 25 kg m−2) or obesity (BMI 30>kg m−2) affects more than two-thirds of Americans. Overweight and obesity are commonly associated with multiple coexisting conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea and cancer. Lifestyle modification can induce a modest weight loss, which is associated with the prevention or improvement of many of these comorbidities. A combination of diet, exercise and behavioral therapy is considered the cornerstone of treatment for all overweight and obese individuals. As the etiology and therapy of obesity is complex, what is needed for these patients is a multidisciplinary clinic where specialists from different disciplines share their knowledge and participate in the treatment of the obese patient.
