RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Internal hernias occur after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) when small bowel herniates into the intermesenteric spaces that have been created. The closure technique used is related to the internal hernia risks outcomes. Using a non-resorbable double layered suture, this risk can be significantly reduced from 8.9 to 2.5% in the first three postoperative years. By closing over a BIO mesh, the risk might be reduced even more. SETTING: Two large private hospitals specialized in bariatric surgery. METHODS: All patients receiving a RYGB for (morbid) obesity between 2014 and 2018 were included in this retrospective study. In all patients, the entero-enterostomy (EE) was closed using a double layered non-absorbable suture. In 2014, Peterson's space was closed exclusively using glue, the years hereafter in a similar fashion as the EE, combined with a piece of glued BIO Mesh. RESULTS: The glued RYGB patients showed 25% of patients with an internal hernia (14%) or open Peterson's space compared to 0.5% of patients (p < 0.001) who had a combined sutured and BIO Mesh Closure of their Peterson's space defect. Although this was an ideal technique for Peterson's space, it led to 1% of entero-enterostomy kinking due to the firm adhesion formation. CONCLUSION: Gluing the intermesenteric spaces is not beneficial but placing a BIO Mesh in Peterson's space is a promising new technique to induce local adhesions. It is above all safe, effective and led to an almost complete reduction of Peterson's internal herniations. In the future, a randomized controlled trial comparing this technique to a double layered, non-absorbable suture should give more insights into which is the optimal closure technique.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is an endoscopic device that induces weight loss and improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the current study was to assess the effects of DJBL explantation on glycemic control and body weight. METHODS: This prospective, observational study included only patients with T2DM who had the DJBL implanted for at least 6 months and had a follow-up of at least 12 months after explantation. The primary endpoints were changes in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body weight during the 12 months after explantation. Secondary endpoints were changes in fasting plasma glucose, blood pressure, and plasma lipid levels. RESULTS: In total, 59 patients completed the 12-month follow-up after explantation. During this period body weight increased by 5.6 (standard deviation, 6.4) kg (P < .001) and HbA1c rose from 65 (SD 17) to 70 (SD 20) mmol/mol (P < .001). However, body weight remained 8.0 (SD 8.6) kg (P < .001) lower than before implantation, that is, corresponding to a net total body weight loss of 7.4% (SD 7.6) (P < .001). Although HbA1c was significantly higher 12 months after explantation compared with baseline and the mean daily dose of insulin used was comparable, the number of patients on insulin remained significantly lower than before implantation. CONCLUSIONS: Explantation of the DJBL is associated with weight gain and worsening of glycemic control, although some beneficial effects remained detectable 12 months after explantation. A change in strategy is needed to preserve the beneficial effects of DJBL treatment. (Clinical trial registration number: 746∖100111.).

BACKGROUND: The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) still remains the gold standard in bariatric surgery. However, no consensus exists on the optimal limb lengths to induce maximum weight reduction. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of a longer alimentary limb (AL) length on weight reduction after RYGB. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent a primary laparoscopic RYGB between January 2001 and March 2011 was performed. Patients received a short AL (SAL; 100 cm) or a long AL (LAL; 150 cm). Primary outcome was weight loss, and secondary outcomes were short- and long-term complication rates. RESULTS: A total of 768 patients received a RYGB during the study period. Of these, 730 consecutive patients were included for long-term analysis and had a mean follow-up (FU) of 37 ± 26 [range 0-120] months; 360 (47 %) patients received a SAL RYGB. Overall %TBWL was 33 ± 9 % after 2 years (FU 74 %) and 28 ± 12 % after 5 years (FU 20 %). No significant differences in %TBWL were found between SAL RYGB and LAL RYGB during the study period. The 30-day mortality rate was 0.13, 9 % overall short-term complication rate and 19 % cumulative long-term complication rate. No differences in complications were found between SAL and LAL RYGB patients. CONCLUSION: Lengthening of the alimentary limb from 100 to 150 cm did not affect post-RYGB weight loss. Overall complication rates were low and comparable in this series of RYGB patients.

BACKGROUND: The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is an endoscopic treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and (morbid) obesity. The aim of the current study was to determine its efficacy and safety profile. METHODS: Inclusion criteria for treatment with a DJBL were: age 18-70 years, BMI 28-45 kg/m2, and T2DM with a HbA1c > 48 mmol/mol. Primary outcomes were changes in HbA1c and body weight. Secondary outcomes included changes in blood pressure, lipids, and anti-diabetic medication. Predictive factors for success of treatment with the DJBL were determined. RESULTS: Between 2011 and 2014, 185 out of 198 patients successfully underwent a DJBL implantation procedure, with an intended implantation time of 12 months. In these 185 patients, body weight decreased by 12.8 ± 8.0 kg (total body weight loss of 11.9 ± 6.9 %, p < 0.001), HbA1c decreased from 67 to 61 mmol/mol (p < 0.001) despite a reduction in anti-diabetic medication, and blood pressure and serum lipid levels all decreased. In total, 57 (31 %) DJBLs were explanted early after a median duration of 33 weeks. Adverse events occurred in 17 % of patients. C-peptide ≥1.0 nmol/L and body weight ≥107 kg at screening were independent predictive factors for success. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with the DJBL in T2DM patients with (morbid) obesity results in improvement in glucose control, a reduction in anti-diabetic medication, and significant weight loss. The largest changes are observed within the first 3-6 months. Initial C-peptide levels and body weight may help to select patients with the greatest chance of success.

BACKGROUND: The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is a new, device-based endoscopic treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. OBJECTIVE: To report serious safety events of subjects treated with the DJBL while offering a simple guideline to mitigate risk. DESIGN: Single-center observational study. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: For commercial use, patients were eligible for implantation of the DJBL when they met the following criteria: age 18 to 65 years, body mass index 28 to 45 kg/m(2), T2DM, and negative serum Helicobacter pylori test. INTERVENTIONS: Endoscopic implantation of the DJBL. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Adverse events, serious adverse events, early explantation. RESULTS: Between October 2007 and January 2014, 152 of 165 planned implantations (92%) and 94 explantations were performed in our center. Significant weight loss and improvement in T2DM and other cardiovascular parameters were achieved. Early removal of the device occurred because of persistent GI symptoms in 16 patients (11%). Serious adverse events were observed in a subset of patients: 7 GI bleeds, 5 of which required early removal; 2 cases of pancreatitis; 1 case of hepatic abscess; and 1 obstruction of the sleeve. Explantation resulted in an esophageal tear in 2 cases. LIMITATIONS: Single-center study. CONCLUSION: The DJBL improves glycemic control while causing weight loss. The safety profile of the DJBL demonstrates a reasonable tolerability profile. However, serious safety adverse events can occur. Patient selection, expert use of the device at placement and removal, and the supportive care of an experienced multidisciplinary team are key for safe and effective use of the DJBL.

Placement of the duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is a minimally invasive technique for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Acute pancreatitis was seen in 5 of 167 patients (3â%) in our series. It is suggested that acute pancreatitis in patients with the DJBL results from either direct blockage or edema of the major duodenal papilla, which may be caused by the following: migration of the anchor of the DJBL, accumulation of food debris between the liner and the duodenal wall, or reflux of duodenal contents into the pancreatic duct due to intraluminal hypertension caused by the liner. Early removal of the DJBL resulted in fast and complete recovery, whereas delayed diagnosis and removal led to severe, necrotizing acute pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND: Obesity-related hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (OrHH) occurs in over 40% of morbidly obese men. Obesity-related hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism may reduce the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of OrHH on the outcome of bariatric surgery in men. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Observational study with measurement of serum gonadal hormones, and assessment of body composition, glucose, lipid and bone metabolism during the first year after bariatric surgery in 13 men with OrHH (free testosterone (free T) <225 pmol/l) and 11 age-matched eugonadal morbidly obese men (free T > 225 pmol/l). RESULTS: Serum free T was inversely related to body weight (R = -0·65, P < 0·0001) and rose gradually after bariatric surgery, in eugonadal as well as in OrHH men, by 30 pmol/l for every 10 kg loss of weight. In three patients, serum free T remained within the hypogonadal range despite substantial weight loss. Gonadal hormone status prior to surgery did not affect the 1-year outcome of surgery. CONCLUSION: Obesity-related hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism is a reversible condition in the majority of obese men. It does not reduce the efficacy of bariatric surgery. Preoperative weight-adjusted normal values are recommended to avoid an incorrect diagnosis of hypogonadism in obese men.

OBJECTIVE: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and restrictive weight loss interventions, such as gastric banding (GB) and very-low-calorie diets (VLCD) directly impact glucose metabolism, possibly by calorie restriction and/or altered secretion of gut hormones. We aimed to establish the direct endocrine and metabolic effects of RYGB compared to restrictive interventions in obese glucose-tolerant (NGT) subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). DESIGN: Controlled, nonrandomized observational trial. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Four groups of obese females received a mixed meal at baseline and 3 weeks after intervention; NGT-GB (n = 11), NGT-RYGB (n = 16), T2DM-RYGB (n = 15) and T2DM-VLCD (n = 12). Normal weight controls (n = 12) were studied once. RESULTS: At baseline, all obese subjects were hyperinsulinemic. T2DM was associated with hyperglycaemia and decreased GLP-1 levels. RYGB and VLCD reduced glucose levels to a similar extent in T2DM, insulin levels decreased only after VLCD. Comparison of restrictive intervention vs RYGB showed a more pronounced decrease in glucose and insulin AUC after restriction. In NGT and T2DM subjects, RYGB increased GLP-1 and PYY levels and decreased ghrelin levels, whereas VLCD and GB only increased GIP levels. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that deterioration of glucose metabolism in T2DM is associated with a decline of GLP-1 levels. Calorie restriction facilitates glucose metabolism and blunts hyperinsulinemia in obese (diabetic) humans. Additional duodenal exclusion through RYGB induces gut hormone release and hyperinsulinemia but does not improve postprandial glucose levels any further. Our data thus strongly suggest that calorie restriction underlies the short-term metabolic benefits of RYGB in obese T2DM patients.

BACKGROUND: The endoscopically placed duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) or EndoBarrier gastrointestinal liner has been designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and simultaneous achievement of weight loss by obese patients. This study was performed to determine the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of delivering the DJBL with the patient under conscious sedation (CS). The primary end points of the study were safety and complications. The secondary end points were delivery time (min), amount of propofol (mg) used, and the total hospital stay (h). METHODS: This prospective study compared placement of the DJBL with the patient under propofol sedation and placement with the patient under general anesthesia (GA). The study included 56 patients, with 28 patients in each group. RESULTS: Both groups were comparable in terms of age, gender, and body mass index. All the devices were placed successfully, and no complications occurred in either group. Comparison of the CS group with the GA group respectively showed a mean total operation time of 29 versus 56 min, a mean propofol use of 170 versus 258 mg, and a mean hospital stay of 11 versus 22 h. CONCLUSION: Delivery of the DJBL to patients under CS is feasible, safe, and efficient in terms of time and cost. Because of possible complications during the procedure, the authors recommend placement of the DJBL with the patient under CS in proximity to the operating room.

BACKGROUND: Digital health interventions show promise for weight management. However, few text-based behavior change interventions have been designed to support patients receiving intragastric balloons, and none have simultaneously evaluated weight loss, psychological well-being, and behavior change despite the crucial interplay of these factors in weight management. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess whether a health coach-led, asynchronous, text-based digital behavior change coaching intervention (DBCCI) delivered to participants receiving an intragastric balloon and its aftercare program was feasible and acceptable to participants and supported improved outcomes, including weight loss, psychological well-being, and lifestyle behavior change conducive to weight loss maintenance. METHODS: This 12-month, single-arm prospective study enrolled adults aged 21 to 65 years with BMI ≥27 kg/m2 receiving a procedureless intragastric balloon (PIGB) at 5 bariatric clinics in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Participants received the DBCCI and the clinic-led PIGB aftercare program (remotely delivered) for 6 months after PIGB placement and then no intervention for an additional 6 months. The DBCCI was an evidence-based, personalized intervention wherein health coaches supported participants via exchanged asynchronous in-app text-based messages. Over the 12-month study, we assessed percentage of total body weight loss and psychological well-being via self-administered validated questionnaires (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite-Clinical Trials Version, Loss of Control Over Eating Scale-Brief, Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire-Short Form, and Barriers to Being Active Quiz). Participant engagement with and acceptability of the intervention were assessed via self-reported surveys. RESULTS: Overall, 107 participants (n=96, 89.7% female; mean baseline BMI 35.4, SD 5.4 kg/m2) were included in the analysis. Mean total body weight loss was 13.5% (SEM 2.3%) at the end of the DBCCI and 11.22% (SEM 2.3%) at the 12-month follow-up (P<.001). Improvements were observed for all psychological well-being measures throughout the 12 months except for the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (improvement at month 1) and Barriers to Being Active Quiz (improvements at months 3 and 6). Surveys showed high levels of engagement with and acceptability of the DBCCI. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that the health coach-led, asynchronous, text-based DBCCI was engaging and acceptable to participants with overweight and obesity. The DBCCI, delivered alongside the PIGB and its aftercare program, supported improved weight loss outcomes and psychological well-being versus baseline and was associated with lifestyle behavior changes known to help achieve and maintain long-term weight loss and improved health outcomes. Follow-up findings suggest a potential need for longer-term, more intense coaching to focus on weight loss maintenance and support ongoing self-coaching. This could be achieved by leveraging generative artificial intelligence to provide ongoing automated behavior change coaching support to augment human-led care.

RESUMEN
PURPOSE: There is a lack of evidence for treatment of some conditions including complication management, suboptimal initial weight loss, recurrent weight gain, or worsening of a significant obesity complication after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). This study was designed to respond to the existing lack of agreement and to provide a valuable resource for clinicians by employing an expert-modified Delphi consensus method. METHODS: Forty-eight recognized bariatric surgeons from 28 countries participated in the modified Delphi consensus to vote on 64 statements in two rounds. An agreement/disagreement among ≥ 70.0% of the experts was regarded to indicate a consensus. RESULTS: A consensus was achieved for 46 statements. For recurrent weight gain or worsening of a significant obesity complication after OAGB, more than 85% of experts reached a consensus that elongation of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) is an acceptable option and the total bowel length measurement is mandatory during BPL elongation to preserve at least 300-400 cm of common channel limb length to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Also, more than 85% of experts reached a consensus on conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with or without pouch downsizing as an acceptable option for the treatment of persistent bile reflux after OAGB and recommend detecting and repairing any size of hiatal hernia during conversion to RYGB. CONCLUSION: While the experts reached a consensus on several aspects regarding revision/conversion surgeries after OAGB, there are still lingering areas of disagreement. This highlights the importance of conducting further studies in the future to address these unresolved issues.

PURPOSE: With the global epidemic of obesity, the importance of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is greater than ever before. Performing these surgeries requires academic training and the completion of a dedicated fellowship training program. This study aimed to develop guidelines based on expert consensus using a modified Delphi method to create the criteria for metabolic and bariatric surgeons that must be mastered before obtaining privileges to perform MBS. METHODS: Eighty-nine recognized MBS surgeons from 42 countries participated in the Modified Delphi consensus to vote on 30 statements in two rounds. An agreement/disagreement among ≥ 70.0% of the experts was regarded to indicate a consensus. RESULTS: Consensus was reached on 29 out of 30 statements. Most experts agreed that before getting privileges to perform MBS, surgeons must hold a general surgery degree and complete or have completed a dedicated fellowship training program. The experts agreed that the learning curves for the various operative procedures are approximately 25-50 operations for the LSG, 50-75 for the OAGB, and 75-100 for the RYGB. 93.1% of experts agreed that MBS surgeons should diligently record patients' data in their National or Global database. CONCLUSION: MBS surgeons should have a degree in general surgery and have been enrolled in a dedicated fellowship training program with a structured curriculum. The learning curve of MBS procedures is procedure dependent. MBS surgeons must demonstrate proficiency in managing postoperative complications, collaborate within a multidisciplinary team, commit to a minimum 2-year patient follow-up, and actively engage in national and international MBS societies.
RESUMEN
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is widely considered the most effective option for treating obesity, a chronic, relapsing, and progressive disease. Recently, the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) issued new guidelines on the indications for MBS, which have superseded the previous 1991 National Institutes of Health guidelines. The aim of this study is to establish the first set of consensus guidelines for selecting procedures in Class I and II obesity, using an Expert Modified Delphi Method. In this study, 78 experienced bariatric surgeons from 32 countries participated in a two-round Modified Delphi consensus voting process. The threshold for consensus was set at an agreement or disagreement of ≥ 70.0% among the experts. The experts reached a consensus on 54 statements. The committee of experts reached a consensus that MBS is a cost-effective treatment option for Class II obesity and for patients with Class I obesity who have not achieved significant weight loss through non-surgical methods. MBS was also considered suitable for patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher. The committee identified intra-gastric balloon (IGB) as a treatment option for patients with class I obesity and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) as an option for patients with class I and II obesity, as well as for patients with T2DM and a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m2. Sleeve gastrectomy (1) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were also recognized as viable treatment options for these patient groups. The committee also agreed that one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a suitable option for patients with Class II obesity and T2DM, regardless of the presence or severity of obesity-related medical problems. The recommendations for selecting procedures in Class I and II obesity, developed through an Expert Modified Delphi Consensus, suggest that the use of standard primary bariatric endoscopic (IGB, ESG) and surgical procedures (SG, RYGB, OAGB) are acceptable in these patient groups, as consensus was reached regarding these procedures. However, randomized controlled trials are still needed in Class I and II Obesity to identify the best treatment approach for these patients in the future.

Importance: Bariatric surgery-induced weight loss is often associated with improved cognitive function. However, improvement in cognitive function is not always exhibited by all patients, and the mechanisms behind cognitive improvement remain unknown. Objective: To investigate the association of changes in adipokines, inflammatory factors, mood, and physical activity with alterations in cognitive function after bariatric surgery among patients with severe obesity. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study included 156 patients with severe obesity (body mass index [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared], >35) eligible for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, aged between 35 and 55 years, who were enrolled in the BARICO (Bariatric Surgery Rijnstate and Radboudumc Neuroimaging and Cognition in Obesity) study between September 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020. Follow-up was completed July 31, 2021; 146 participants completed the 6-month follow-up and were included in the analysis. Intervention: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Main Outcomes and Measures: Overall cognitive performance (based on a 20% change index of the compound z score), inflammatory factors (eg, C-reactive protein and interleukin 6 levels), adipokines (eg, leptin and adiponectin levels), mood (assessed via the Beck Depression Inventory), and physical activity (assessed with the Baecke questionnaire). Results: A total of 146 patients (mean [SD] age, 46.1 [5.7] years; 124 women [84.9%]) completed the 6-month follow-up and were included. After bariatric surgery, all plasma levels of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (median change, -0.32 mg/dL [IQR, -0.57 to -0.16 mg/dL]; P < .001) and leptin (median change, -51.5 pg/mL [IQR, -68.0 to -38.4 pg/mL]; P < .001), were lower, whereas adiponectin levels were higher (median change, 0.15 µg/mL [IQR, -0.20 to 0.62 µg/mL]; P < .001), depressive symptoms were (partly) resolved (median change in Beck Depression Inventory score, -3 [IQR, -6 to 0]; P < .001), and physical activity level was higher (mean [SD] change in Baecke score, 0.7 [1.1]; P < .001). Cognitive improvement was observed in 43.8% (57 of 130) of the participants overall. This group had lower C-reactive protein (0.11 vs 0.24 mg/dL; P = .04) and leptin levels (11.8 vs 14.5 pg/mL; P = .04) and fewer depressive symptoms at 6 months (4 vs 5; P = .045) compared with the group of participants who did not show cognitive improvement. Conclusions and Relevance: This study suggests that lower C-reactive protein and leptin levels, as well as fewer depressive symptoms, might partly explain the mechanisms behind cognitive improvement after bariatric surgery.

MAJOR UPDATES TO 1991 NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR BARIATRIC SURGERY: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2, regardless of presence, absence, or severity of co-morbidities.MBS should be considered for individuals with metabolic disease and BMI of 30-34.9 kg/m2.BMI thresholds should be adjusted in the Asian population such that a BMI >25 kg/m2 suggests clinical obesity, and individuals with BMI >27.5 kg/m2 should be offered MBS.Long-term results of MBS consistently demonstrate safety and efficacy.Appropriately selected children and adolescents should be considered for MBS.(Surg Obes Relat Dis 2022; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soard.2022.08.013 ) © 2022 American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

PURPOSE: Lifelong daily multivitamin supplementation is highly recommended after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Based on previous research, a specialized multivitamin supplement (MVS) for SG patients was developed and optimized (WLS Optimum 1.0 and 2.0). This study presents its mid-term effectives and compares micronutrient status of SG patients using this specialized MVS to users of standard MVS (sMVS) and non-users of multivitamin supplementation during the first three years post-surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the 226 participants that were included at baseline, yearly follow-up blood tests were completed by 193 participants (85%) at 12 months, 176 participants (78%) at 24 months, and 140 participants (62%) at 36 months of follow-up. At each time point, participants were divided into four groups: (1) Optimum 1.0, (2) Optimum 2.0, (3) sMVS, and (4) non-users. Serum concentrations (linear mixed-effects models) and the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies (chi-square tests) during follow-up were compared between the groups. RESULTS: Users of specialized MVS (Optimum 1.0 and 2.0) had higher serum concentrations of hemoglobin, folic acid, and vitamin D compared to sMVS users and non-users during follow-up. Serum concentrations of vitamin B12 and (corrected) calcium were also higher in specialized MVS users than in non-users. Overall, fewer deficiencies for folic acid and vitamin D were observed in the Optimum groups. CONCLUSION: Although the perfect multivitamin supplement for all SG patients does not exist, WLS Optimum was more effective in sustaining normal serum concentrations than standard, over-the-counter supplementation. Non-users of MVS presented with most micronutrient deficiencies and will evidently develop poor nutritional status on the longer term.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess, with histopathologic control, the use of open-system 1-T (1)H MR spectroscopy for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis in morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Patients underwent (1)H MR spectroscopy (MRS) for the assessment of steatosis before and 3 months after surgery. Liver biopsy was performed during surgery. Hepatic steatosis was expressed as the ratio of fat peak area to cumulative water and fat peak areas. Histopathologic percentage of steatosis was graded as none (0-5%), mild (5-33%), moderate (33-66%), or severe (> 66%). The accuracy of (1)H-MRS and Spearman correlation coefficient were calculated. Differences between groups were assessed with the Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney tests. RESULTS: The study included 38 patients (median age, 45.5 years; median body mass index, 47.7). Before surgery, median steatosis measured with (1)H-MRS was 5.8%. The accuracy of (1)H-MRS was 89% (32/36), and the (1)H-MRS findings correlated with the histopathologic assessment of steatosis (r = 0.85, p < 0.001). With (1)H-MRS, no steatosis was discriminated from mild steatosis (p = 0.011), mild was discriminated from moderate steatosis (p < 0.001), and moderate was discriminated from severe steatosis (p = 0.021). Three months after surgery, steatosis had decreased to 3.1% (p < 0.001). The prevalence of hepatic steatosis measured with (1)H-MRS decreased from 53% to 32%. CONCLUSION: In the care of morbidly obese patients undergoing assessment of hepatic steatosis and changes in steatosis after gastric bypass surgery, (1)H-MRS with an open 1-T MRI system is feasible. Measurements of hepatic fat with (1)H-MRS are accurate and correlate with clinical and histopathologic results.

Thirty-five morbidly obese patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). In addition to weight loss, these patients showed significant improvement of insulin resistance and a reduction of hepatic fat content. Three months after surgery, the serum bile salts were slightly but significantly elevated, and the levels of the endocrine-acting fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and FGF21 were increased. FGF19 and FGF21 play a role as regulators of hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism. These results show that RYGB surgery improves metabolism and that this improvement is still apparent 3 months after surgery. Bile salts may play a key role in the improvement of metabolism after RYGB. Why serum bile salt concentrations are elevated after RYGB needs to be investigated.
