RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We seek to characterize the impact of bariatric surgery on diabetes mellitus by recalling its history, examining the clinical data, exploring the putative mechanisms of action, and anticipating its future. RECENT FINDINGS: Results of clinical trials reveal that bariatric surgery induces remission of diabetes in 33-90% of individuals at 1-year post-treatment versus 0-39% of medically managed. Remission rates decrease over time but remain higher in surgically treated individuals. Investigations have revealed numerous actions of surgery including effects on intestinal physiology, neuronal signaling, incretin hormone secretion, bile acid metabolism, and microbiome changes. Bariatric surgery improves control of diabetes through both weight-dependent and weight-independent actions. These various mechanisms help explain the difference between individuals treated surgically vs. medically. They also explain differing effects of various bariatric surgery procedure types. Understanding how surgery affects diabetes will help optimize utilization of the therapy for both disease prevention and treatment.

PURPOSE: To assess the impact of weight loss on health-related quality-of-life (HRQL), to describe the factors associated with improvements in HRQL after weight loss, and to assess the relationship between obesity as assessed by body mass index (BMI) and HRQL before and after weight loss. METHODS: We studied 188 obese patients with BMI ≥ 32 kg/m(2) with one or more comorbidities or ≥35 kg/m(2). All patients had baseline and follow-up assessments of BMI and HRQL using the EuroQol (EQ-5D) and its visual analog scale (VAS) before and after 6 months of medical weight loss that employed very low-calorie diets, physical activity, and intensive behavioral counseling. RESULTS: At baseline, age was 50 ± 8 years (mean ± SD), BMI was 40. 0 ± 5.0 kg/m(2), EQ-5D-derived health utility score was 0.85 ± 0.13, and VAS-reported quality-of-life was 0.67 ± 0.18. At 6-month follow-up, BMI decreased by 7.0 ± 3.2 kg/m(2), EQ-5D increased by 0.06 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.06-0.17], and VAS increased by 0.14 (IQR 0.04-0.23). In multivariate analyses, improvement in EQ-5D and VAS were associated with lower baseline BMI, greater reduction in BMI at follow-up, fewer baseline comorbidities, and lower baseline HRQL. For any given BMI category, EQ-5D and VAS tended to be higher at follow-up than at baseline. CONCLUSION: Measured improvements in HRQL between baseline and follow-up were greater than predicted by the reduction in BMI at follow-up. If investigators use cross-sectional data to estimate changes in HRQL as a function of BMI, they will underestimate the improvement in HRQL associated with weight loss and underestimate the cost-utility of interventions for obesity treatment.

Importance: Among individuals with obesity, 5% or greater weight loss can improve health. Weight management treatments (WMT) include nutrition counseling, very low-calorie meal replacement (MR), antiobesity medications (AOM), and bariatric surgery; however, little is known about how these WMT are associated with weight change among individual patients and populations. Objective: To characterize weight status and WMT use among primary care patients and assess associations between WMT and weight trajectories. Design, Setting, and Participants: Retrospective, population-based cohort study of primary care patients from 1 academic health system in Michigan between October 2015 and March 2020 using cross-sectional analysis to compare obesity prevalence and WMT utilization. For patients with obesity and WMT exposure or matched controls, a multistate Markov model assessing associations between WMT and longitudinal weight status trajectories was used. Data were analyzed from October 2021 to October 2023. Exposures: Cross-sectional exposure was year: 2017 or 2019. Trajectory analysis exposures were WMT: nutrition counseling, MR, AOM, and bariatric surgery. Main Outcomes and Measures: Cross-sectional analysis compared mean body mass index (BMI), obesity prevalence, and, among patients with obesity, prospective WMT use. The trajectory analysis examined longitudinal weight status using thresholds of ±5% and 10% of baseline weight with primary outcomes being the 1-year probabilities of 5% or greater weight loss for each WMT. Results: Adult patients (146â¯959 participants) consisted of 83â¯636 female participants (56.9%); 8940 (6.1%) were Asian, 14â¯560 (9.9%) were Black, and 116â¯664 (79.4%) were White. Patients had a mean (SD) age of 49.6 (17.7) years and mean (SD) BMI of 29.2 (7.2). Among 138â¯682 patients, prevalence of obesity increased from 39.2% in 2017 to 40.7% in 2019; WMT use among patients with obesity increased from 5.3% to 7.1% (difference: 1.7%; 95% CI, 1.3%-2.2%). In a multistate model (10â¯180 patients; 33â¯549 patient-years), the 1-year probability of 5% or greater weight loss without WMT exposure was 15.6% (95% CI, 14.3%-16.5%) at reference covariates. In contrast, the probability of 5% or greater weight loss was more likely with year-long exposures to any WMT (nutrition counseling: 23.1%; 95% CI, 21.3%-25.1%; MR: 54.6%; 95% CI, 46.5%-61.2%; AOM: 27.8%; 95% CI, 25.0%-30.5%; bariatric surgery: 93.0%; 95% CI, 89.7%-95.0%). Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study of primary-care patients with obesity, all WMT increased the patient-level probability of achieving 5% or greater weight loss, but current rates of utilization are low and insufficient to reduce weight at the population level.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of an intensive behavioral weight management program on presenteeism and absenteeism in obese participants employed full-time. METHODS: Participants were recruited from the University of Michigan Weight Management program (WMP), a multidisciplinary lifestyle program targeting 15% body weight loss. Absenteeism and presenteeism were assessed using the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) at baseline and 6 months. RESULTS: One hundred forty-two participants, predominantly college-educated white-collar employees, were included in the study. After 6 months in the program, there was no significant change in absenteeism or presenteeism compared with baseline. There was a trend towards reduced absenteeism. CONCLUSIONS: Participation in an intensive weight management program did not adversely impact worker productive time. Conversely, our findings should be reassuring to employer groups and to employees with obesity concerned about time spent away from work.

BACKGROUND: Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now the predominant bariatric surgery performed, yet there is limited long-term data comparing important outcomes between LSG and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This study compares weight loss and impact on comorbidities of the two procedures. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated weight, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol, and medication use for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia at 1-4 years post-operatively in 380 patients who underwent RYGB and 334 patients who underwent LSG at the University of Michigan from January 2008 to November 2013. Follow-up rates from 714 patients initially were 657 (92%), 556 (78%), 507 (71%), and 498 (70%) at 1-4 years post-operatively. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar except for higher weight and BMI in LSG. There was greater weight loss with RYGB vs. LSG at all points. Hemoglobin A1c and total cholesterol improved more in RYGB vs. LSG at 4 years. There was greater remission of hypertension and discontinuation of all medications for hypertension and diabetes with RYGB at 4 years. CONCLUSIONS: Weight loss, reduction in medications for hypertension and diabetes, improvements in markers of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and remission rates of hypertension were superior with RYGB vs. LSG 4 years post-operatively. Choice of bariatric procedures should be tailored to surgical risk, comorbidities, and weight loss goals.

Erratic blood glucose levels can be a cause and consequence of delayed gastric emptying in patients with diabetes. It is unknown if better glycemic control increases risks of hypoglycemia or improves hemoglobin A1c levels and gastrointestinal symptoms in diabetic gastroparesis. This study investigated the safety and potential efficacy of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in poorly controlled diabetes with gastroparesis. Forty-five type 1 or 2 patients with diabetes and gastroparesis and hemoglobin A1c >8% from the NIDDK Gastroparesis Consortium enrolled in a 24 week open-label pilot prospective study of CSII plus CGM. The primary safety outcome was combined numbers of mild, moderate, and severe hypoglycemic events at screening and 24 weeks treatment. Secondary outcomes included glycemic excursions on CGM, hemoglobin A1c, gastroparesis symptoms, quality-of-life, and liquid meal tolerance. Combined mild, moderate, and severe hypoglycemic events occurred similarly during the screening/run-in (1.9/week) versus treatment (2.2/week) phases with a relative risk of 1.18 (95% CI 0.85-1.64, P = 0.33). CGM time in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) decreased from 3.9% to 1.8% (P<0.0001), time in euglycemia (70-180 mg/dL) increased from 44.0% to 52.0% (P = 0.02), time in severe hyperglycemia (>300 mg/dL) decreased from 14.2% to 7.0% (P = 0.005), and hemoglobin A1c decreased from 9.4±1.4% to 8.3±1.3% (P = 0.001) on CSII plus CGM. Symptom scores decreased from 29.3±7.1 to 21.9±10.2 with lower nausea/vomiting, fullness/early satiety, and bloating/distention scores (P≤0.001). Quality-of-life scores improved from 2.4±1.1 to 3.1±1.1 (P<0.0001) and volumes of liquid nutrient meals tolerated increased from 420±258 to 487±312 mL (P = 0.05) at 24 weeks. In conclusion, CSII plus CGM appeared to be safe with minimal risks of hypoglycemic events and associated improvements in glycemic control, gastroparesis symptoms, quality-of-life, and meal tolerance in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and gastroparesis. This study supports the safety, feasibility, and potential benefits of improving glycemic control in diabetic gastroparesis.

INTRODUCTION: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are the most commonly performed metabolic surgeries and are highly effective for the treatment of obesity and related comorbidities. In this narrative review, recent studies of at least two years of follow-up directly comparing outcomes between GB and SG are reviewed to assess the efficacy of each procedure in weight loss and diabetes remission, as well as resulting quality of life (QoL) assessment and micronutrient deficiencies. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic search of the literature of PubMed using MeSH terms and key words was performed. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Forty recent studies comparing GB and SG including 208,556 patients are included in this narrative review. Most studies demonstrate significantly greater weight loss after GB compared to SG. There is some evidence that GB may lead to greater proportion of remission of diabetes mellitus (DM), but the majority of studies found no significant difference at longer follow-up. There is some evidence of greater rates of vitamin D and B12 deficiencies following GB. There were no significant differences in QoL assessments between SG and GB. CONCLUSIONS: A review of moderate and long-term studies directly comparing SG and GB suggests a greater degree of weight loss with GB. There is some but limited evidence the GB is more likely to induce DM remission, while increasing the risk of specific micronutrient deficiencies.

OBJECTIVE: Central adiposity is a component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Little is known about the impact of medical weight loss and decreased waist circumference (WC) on the MetS. Our objective was to assess the impact of changes in WC on blood pressure, lipids and glycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied 430 obese patients enrolled in a 2-year, intensive, behavioral, weight management program. We report results for participants who completed 6-month and 2-year follow-up. RESULTS: Participants were 49±9â years of age (mean±SD), 56% were women and 85% were white. Baseline body mass index (BMI) was 41±6â kg/m2 and baseline WC was 120±14â cm. At 6â months, BMI decreased by 6±3â kg/m2 and WC by 14±9â cm. Relative change in WC was defined as the 6-month or 2-year WC minus the baseline WC divided by the baseline WC. Systolic blood pressure decreased by 8â mmâ Hg for the tertile of participants with the largest relative decrease in WC and by 2â mmâ Hg for those with the smallest relative decrease in WC (p=0.025). Similar patterns of improvement were observed in total cholesterol (-29 vs -12â mg/dL, p=0.017), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (-19 vs -4â mg/dL, p=0.033), and glycated hemoglobin (-1.2 vs -0.3%, p=0.006). At 2â years, BMI decreased by 5±4â kg/m2 and WC by 11±11â cm and similar patterns of improvements were seen in components of the MetS. At both 6â months and 2â years, larger relative decreases in WC were associated with greater improvements in lipids and glycemia independent of sex. CONCLUSIONS: In obese people, greater relative decreases in WC with medical weight loss are associated with greater improvements in components of the MetS independent of sex.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to compare weight loss, metabolic parameters, and postoperative complications in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). METHODS: We retrospectively studied 30-day postoperative complications as well as change in weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C, and creatinine from baseline to 2, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively in 383 patients undergoing GB and 336 patients undergoing SG at the University of Michigan from January 2008 to November 2013. For a study population which typically has high attrition rates, there were excellent follow-up rates (706/719 at 2 months, 566/719 at 6 months, 519/719 at 12 months, and 382/719 at 24 months). RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups except for higher weight and BMI in the SG group. The GB group experienced greater total body weight loss at 6, 12, and 24 months (41.9 vs. 34.6 kg at 24 months, p < 0.0001). Excess weight loss was 69.7 and 51.7 % following GB and SG respectively at 24 months (p < 0.0001). BP improved significantly in both groups. Surgical complication rates were greater after GB (10.1 vs. 3.5 %, p = 0.0007) with no significant difference in life-threatening or potentially life-threatening complications. CONCLUSIONS: Weight loss was greater following GB compared to SG at 2 years. The risk for surgical complications was greater following GB. Surgical intervention should be tailored to surgical risk, comorbidities, and desired weight loss.

BACKGROUND: Rates of weight normalization and obesity remission after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB) are unknown. This study evaluated weight loss, rates of achieving body mass index (BMI) <25 or 30 kg/m2, recidivism, and predictors of success following GB. METHODS: We retrospectively studied weight and BMI at baseline, 2 and 6 months, and annually at 1-7 years in 219 patients undergoing GB at the University of Michigan from January 2008 to November 2010. RESULTS: Follow-up was excellent for a population traditionally associated with high attrition rates with data availability of 157/219, 145/219, 144/219, 134/219, 123/219, 82/161, and 29/64 patients at 1-7 years, respectively. Mean baseline BMI was 47.0 kg/m2. Weight normalization (BMI <25 kg/m2) occurred in 2.3-6.8% of patients. More importantly, 47% of patients achieved remission of obesity (BMI <30 kg/m2) at some time point and 24% (52/219) at the last observed time point. BMI <30 kg/m2 was associated with a lower initial BMI and follow-up for more than 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Rates of weight normalization are low after GB; however, a large number of patients achieved BMI <30 kg/m2. While the percent total weight loss and excess weight loss are both quite high in the entire cohort and this is likely associated with significant health benefits, our results still underscore the need to address obesity with intensive clinical attention earlier in its course.

BACKGROUND: We sought to identify factors associated with participant retention in a 2-year, physician-lead, multidisciplinary, clinical weight management program that employs meal replacements to produce weight loss and intensive behavioral interventions and financial incentives for weight loss maintenance. We studied 270 participants enrolled in 2010 and 2011. Sociodemographic factors, health insurance, distance traveled, body mass index, comorbidities, health-related quality-of-life, and depression were explored as potential predictors of retention. RESULTS: Mean age was 49 ± 8 years and BMI was 41 ± 5 kg/m(2). Retention was excellent at 3 months (90%) and 6 months (83%). Attrition was greatest after participants were transitioned to regular foodstuffs and fell to 67% at 12 months and 51% at 2 years. Weight decreased by 15 ± 12 kg and BMI decreased by 5.1 ± 4.0 kg/m(2) in 2-year completers. Older age, lower baseline BMI, and financial incentives for program participation were independently associated with retention. Fewer depressive symptoms at baseline were associated with retention. CONCLUSIONS: This multidisciplinary, clinical, weight management program demonstrated high retention and excellent outcomes. Older age at baseline, less extreme obesity, and financial incentives were associated with program retention.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Current approaches to the management of type 2 diabetes focus on the early initiation of novel pharmacologic therapies and bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to revisit the use of intensive, outpatient, behavioral weight management programs for the management of type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Prospective observational study of 66 patients with type 2 diabetes and BMI ≥ 32 kg/m² who enrolled in a program designed to produce 15% weight reduction over 12 weeks using total meal replacement and low- to moderate-intensity physical activity. RESULTS: Patients were 53 ± 7 years of age (mean ± SD) and 53% were men. After 12 weeks, BMI fell from 40.1 ± 6.6 to 35.1 ± 6.5 kg/m². HbA1c fell from 7.4% ± 1.3% to 6.5% ± 1.2% (57.4 ± 12.3 to 47.7 ± 12.9 mmol/mol) in patients with established diabetes: 76% of patients with established diabetes and 100% of patients with newly diagnosed diabetes achieved HbA1c <7.0% (53.0 mmol/mol). Improvement in HbA1c over 12 weeks was associated with higher baseline HbA1c and greater reduction in BMI. CONCLUSIONS: An intensive, outpatient, behavioral weight management program significantly improved HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes over 12 weeks. The use of such programs should be encouraged among obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
