1. Note From the Editor
- How to lose weight quickly...
To lose weight quickly, never skip a
meal. Your first meal after waking starts your metabolism. Your
metabolism then speeds up for about eight hours and then starts slowing down
until you go to sleep
when it goes to low until you wake and eat and start the cycle again. Skip
breakfast and your
metabolism doesn't get started until lunch time. You've just missed three or
four hours of fat burning
time. When you skip meals during the day, your metabolism also slows down.
Weight loss through the
burning of stored fat is all about eating enough of the right kinds of foods so
you stay full and your
metabolism stays as high as possible. Remember, if you feel hungry, your
metabolism slows down.
Stay full with healthy, nonfattening foods and your metabolism will continue to
burn your stored fat as
fast as your body will allow.

The Role of Surgery in the Treatment of Severe
Obesity
Louis Flancbaum,
MD
Definition and Scope
of the Problem
The Significance of Obesity
Non-Surgical Treatments of
Obesity
Surgical Treatment of
Severe Obesity
Conclusion
Definition
and Scope of the Problem
Obesity is a disease defined as an excess of adipose
or fat tissue that can produce adverse health
effects. It is currently the most
common chronic disease in the United States. Over half of American adults
are overweight or obese, and the World Health Organization has recently declared
obesity a worldwide
epidemic.
In practice, the presence of obesity is
usually determined by calculations based upon both height and
weight. The preferred parameter is called the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is
calculated using a formula
(weight in kilograms/height in meters2). Normal BMI is between 20 and
24 kg/m2. An individual is
considered overweight with a BMI of 25 to 29, obese with a BMI of 30 to 34,
severely obese with a BMI of
35 to 39, and clinically severe or morbidly obese with a BMI in excess of 40.
For an adult male of average
height, a BMI of 40 corresponds to approximately 100 pounds above ideal body
weight (IBW). An
estimated five percent of the population is severely obese and an
additional three percent are morbidly
obese, totaling 14 million people, and the number is growing. Obesity is more
common in women,
Hispanics, and African-Americans, and increases with age.
The Significance of Obesity
Obesity exerts a tremendous impact on the
physical, psychological, social, and economic health of our
nation. It is an independent risk factor for mortality from all causes, with the
death rate and overall health
risk increasing as the degree of obesity increases. Obesity is responsible
for 300,000 preventable deaths
each year in the United States, second only to smoking. In addition,
obesity is associated with numerous
comorbid conditions, some potentially life-threatening and others
lifestyle-limiting.
The economic and psychosocial ramifications
of obesity are considerable as well. In aggregate, the cost
of obesity to society has been estimated at about $100 billion per year or
almost 10 percent of total
healthcare costs. The social and psychological functioning of obese
patients differs from that of other
chronic physical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and musculoskeletal
deformities. Obesity also
appears to impact negatively on vocational, academic, and healthcare
opportunities. There is also evidence
that physicians and health professionals harbor negative perceptions toward
obese patients.
Successful weight loss is associated
with improvement in these comorbid conditions and patient self-
image, at least in the short term. In addition, successful long-term weight loss
leads to improved
employability and decreased long-term healthcare costs.
Non-Surgical Treatments of Obesity
Dieting is the most common form of treatment
for obesity. Experts estimate that over one-third of
Americans are trying to lose weight at any time, at a yearly cost exceeding $30
billion dollars.
Unfortunately, diets do not work well for people with clinically severe
obesity (CSO) and the best results
from studies show that even with behavior modification and nutritional
counseling, most people will regain
most of their lost weight within two years.
Drugs have also been used to treat obesity.
In order for drugs to be effective in patients who are severely
overweight, they
must be given continuously, just like treatment for high blood pressure or
diabetes. In the
past, these amphetamine-like drugs were addictive and illegal.
Newer non-addictive drugs are now
available; however,
there are concerns about
their safety when used long-term. Finally, most studies have
shown that weight
loss with drugs is usually about 45 pounds.
Exercise is a valuable aid in losing
weight, but more important for maintaining weight loss.
Surgical Treatment of Severe Obesity
Surgical treatment of clinicilly severe
obesity has been thoroughly evaluated by numerous national and
international health organizations. These include the National Institutes of
Health (1991 and 1998),
Shape-Up® America and the American Obesity Association (1996), the American
Heart Association
(1997), the American Dietetic Association (1997), and the World Health
Organization (1998). In each of
these analyses, surgical treatment of clinically severe obesity was
endorsed.
There are three operations for the treatment
of obesity that are currently popular in the U.S.: the vertical
banded gastroplasty (VBG), the Roux-en-Y
gastric bypass (RYGB) and the biliopancreatic
diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS).
| Figure 1:
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty |
 |
|
The VBG is formed by making a small pouch at the top of the
stomach with a capacity of one ounce. The outflow from the pouch
into the rest of the stomach is reinforced with a band to
prevent stretching. The VBG works by limiting the amount of food
that can be consumed.
|
|
| Figure 2:
Roux-en-Y
Gastric Bypass |
 |
The RYGB also has a one-ounce stomach pouch. This pouch,
however, is completely separated from the rest of the stomach. A
portion of small intestine is then rerouted and connected to the
pouch through a new opening. Thus, food intake is limited, as
with the VBG, and there is an additional effect caused by the
rerouting of the food around the remainder of the stomach. |
|
|
Figure 3: Bilio-Pancreatic
Diversion with Duodenal Switch
|
 |
The BPD-DS involves removal of about 60 percent of the stomach
and rerouting the food stream around a majority of the
intestine. It works primarily by limiting the amount of
nutrients that can be absorbed. |
|
In general, the VBG produces the least
amount of weight loss, about 40 to 60 percent of excess body
weight, whereas the BPD-DS produces the greatest amount of weight loss, about 75
to 80 percent of
excess weight. The RYGB is intermediate, causing 50 to 75 percent of
excess weight loss. In terms of
weight regain and nutritional complications, the VBG is associated with the most
regain and fewest
nutritional problems; the BPD-DS has the lowest weight regain but the most
nutritional complications, and
the RYGB is in the middle. For these reasons, the RYGB is currently the most
popular procedure done in
the U.S. (about 75 percent), followed by the VBG (15 percent), and the BPD-DS (
10 percent).
Conclusion
Severe obesity is a growing public health problem in the U.S.
Surgery provides the most effective
treatment, producing the greatest amount of
weight loss and best long-term maintenance.

4. Weight Loss & Exercise Tips - 10 Exercise Myths
1. You Will Burn More Fat
If You Exercise Longer at a Lower Intensity.
The most important focus in
exercise and fat weight control is not the
percentage of exercise energy coming from fat but the total
energy cost, or how
many calories are burned during the activity. The faster you walk, step or run,
for
example, the more calories you use per minute. However,
high-intensity exercise is difficult to sustain if
you are just beginning or
returning to exercise, so you may not exercise very long at this level. It is
safer,
and more practical, to start out at a lower intensity and work your way
up gradually.
2. If You’re Not Going
to Work Out Hard and Often, Exercise Is a Waste of
Time. This kind of
thinking keeps a lot of people from maintaining or
even starting an exercise program. Research continues
to show that any
exercise is better than none. For example, regular walking or gardening for as
little as an
hour a week has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.
3. Yoga Is a Completely
Gentle and Safe Exercise. Yoga is an
excellent form of exercise, but some
styles are quite rigorous and demanding
both physically and mentally. As with any form of exercise,
qualified, careful
instruction is necessary for a safe, effective workout.
4. If You Exercise Long
and Hard Enough, You Will Always Get the Results You Want.
In reality,
genetics plays an important role in how people respond to exercise.
Studies have shown a wide variation in
how different exercisers respond to the
same training program. Your development of strength, speed and
endurance may be
very different from that of other people you know.
5.
Exercise Is One Sure Way to Lose All the Weight You Desire. As with all
responses to exercise,
weight gain or loss is impacted by many factors,
including dietary intake and genetics. All individuals will
not lose the same
amount of weight on the same exercise program. It is possible to be active and
overweight. However, although exercise alone cannot guarantee your ideal weight,
regular physical activity
is one of the most important factors for successful
long-term weight management.
6.
If You Want to Lose Weight, Stay Away From Strength Training Because You Will
Bulk Up.
Most exercise experts believe that cardiovascular exercise and
strength training are both valuable for
maintaining a healthy weight. Strength
training helps maintain muscle mass and decrease body fat
percentage.
7. Water Fitness
Programs Are Primarily for Older People or Exercisers With
Injuries. Recent
research has shown that water fitness programs can be
highly challenging and effective for both improving
fitness and losing weight.
Even top athletes integrate water fitness workouts into their training programs.
8. The Health and
Fitness Benefits of Mind-Body Exercise Like Tai Chi and Yoga Are
Questionable. In fact, research showing the benefits of these exercises
continues to grow. Tai chi, for
example, has been shown to help treat low-back
pain and fibromyalgia. Improved flexibility, balance,
coordination, posture,
strength and stress management are just some of the potential results of
mind-body
exercise.
9. Overweight People Are
Unlikely to Benefit Much From Exercise.
Studies show that obese people
who participate in regular exercise programs have
a lower risk of all-cause mortality than sedentary
individuals, regardless of
weight. Both men and women of all sizes and fitness levels can improve their
health with modest increases in activity.
10. Home Workouts Are
Fine, But Going to a Gym Is the Best Way to Get Fit.
Research has shown
that some people find it easier to stick to a home-based
fitness program. In spite of all the hype on trendy
exercise programs and
facilities, the “best” program for you is the one you will participate in
consistently.
