Book ROUX EN Y GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY DURING MENOPAUSE

Download or read book ROUX EN Y GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY DURING MENOPAUSE written by Ryan Patrick Majcher and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: As obesity rates rise, new methods to provide substantial weight loss have become crucial to the healthcare industry. Bariatric surgery has proven to be the most effective treatment for obesity, and the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass operation has not only enabled many to lose excess weight, but also has resulted in the resolution of comorbid conditions. To date, research on the effectiveness of the RYGB surgery in postmenopausal women is minimal. Objective: This study was completed to compare excess body weight lost and metabolic syndrome resolution in pre- and postmenopausal Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery patients, preoperatively to one year postoperatively. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed for 42 premenopausal and 36 postmenopausal RYGB surgery patients at Wood County Hospital in Bowling Green, Ohio. Surgeries took place between September 2008 and May 2012. Weight data was collected preoperatively, and at 2 week, 2 month, 6 month, and 1 year follow up appointments. To determine diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, preoperative, 6 month, and 1 year data was utilized. Results: At 1 year, percent excess body weight lost was 68.79% for the premenopausal group and 59.44% for the postmenopausal group, which was significant, t(73)= 2.61, p=0.011. To compare the effect time on percent excess body weight lost for those with data at all follow up appointments, a repeated measures analysis of variation was done, which showed a difference between groups as time elapsed, with significance at 1 year F(3,195)=4.71, p=0.0182. Excess percent body weight lost was greater than 50% in 64 of 78 individuals at 1 year. Significance between pre- and postmenopausal groups was also found for preoperative (X2 (1, n=76) p=0.0307) and midway glucose (X2 (1, n=76) p=0.0047), as well as midway (X2 (1, n=69) p=0.0024) and 1 year blood pressure (X2 (1, n=74) p=0.0089). Preoperatively, metabolic syndrome diagnosis was 54 of 78 (22 premenopausal and 32 postmenopausal), midway 37 of 78 (13 premenopausal and 24 postmenopausal), and 17 of 78 (7 premenopausal and 10 postmenopausal) at 1 year. Conclusion: In this retrospective chart review, premenopausal surgery patients lost a significantly greater amount percent excess body weight at 1 year, when compared to the postmenopausal group. Metabolic syndrome incidence was also less in the premenopausal group preoperatively, midway and at 1 year. This study shows that the Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery was able to provide weight loss and resolution of metabolic syndrome in both pre- and postmenopausal women, however postmenopausal women saw less success overall. In the future, a change in bariatric surgery inclusion criteria for those women in the perimenopausal period to include those at a lower BMI may be helpful to more quickly address issues with weight allowing for greater success in the postoperative time period after bariatric surgery.

Book Gastric Bypass Surgery

Download or read book Gastric Bypass Surgery written by Eugene Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a multifactorial global epidemic with associated risk factors for an array of vascular, metabolic, psychological and economical consequences. Bariatric surgery has revealed a significant link between gastrointestinal metabolism and obesity that extends to resolution of many metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. Bariatric surgery offers the most effective results and Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide. The effective weight loss achieved by RYGB is thought to be caused by the re-arrangement of the gastrointestinal tract leading malabsorption and restriction of the ingested nutrients, and consequently resulting in alterations in the gut hormone levels. The first chapter of this book briefly summarizes the current literature on the changes in the gastrointestinal hormones following RYGB. Chapter Two studies the role of bariatric surgery in the resolution of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Chapter Three discusses how to treat a type 2 diabetes patient post-bariatric surgery. The last chapter discusses the recent findings of the relationship between gastric bypass and four different skin disorders.

Download or read book Calcium in Human Health written by Connie M. Weaver and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-10 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutrition and Health Series of books have had great success because each volume has the consistent overriding mission of providing health professionals with texts that are essential because each includes (1) a synthesis of the state of the science; (2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; (3) extensive, - to-date fully annotated reference lists; (4) a detailed index; (5) relevant tables and figures; (6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; (7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted, interchapter referrals; (8) suggestions of areas for future research; and (9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient/health prof- sionals’ questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose trainings are both research- and practice-oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book; define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authorities from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research findings to potential human health consequences.

  • ISBN : 3319956558
  • Pages : 463 pages

Download or read book Bariatric Endocrinology written by J. Michael Gonzalez-Campoy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book – the first ever on bariatric endocrinology – is a comprehensive endocrine and metabolism approach to the diseases that result from excess fat mass accumulation and adipose tissue dysfunction. It takes an approach that places adipose tissue at the center of the clinical approach to patients, as opposed to the complications of adipose tissue accumulation and dysfunction, which has been the dominant approach to date. Initial chapters include discussion of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology (adiposopathy), hormonal, central nervous system, and gut microbiome regulation of energy balance and stores, and primary and secondary causes of adipose tissue weight gain. Subsequent chapters cover the evaluation and treatment of dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hyperglycemic states, hypertension, neoplasia, and gonadal function in men and women. Management strategies, such as nutrition, physical activity, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric procedures, round out the presentation. Each chapter is bookended by bullet-pointed clinical pearls at the beginning and a full reading list at the end. Written and edited by experts in the field of endocrinology and obesity management, Bariatric Endocrinology redefines practice to focus not just on weight loss as measured in pounds lost, but on adipose tissue mass and pathology, decreasing fat mass for adiposity-related diseases and returning adipose tissue to normal function.

Download or read book The Diet Fix written by Yoni Freedhoff M.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Diet Fix, weight loss expert Dr. Yoni Freedhoff offers a groundbreaking, useable guide to begin living happily while losing weight permanently. It is time to break the cycle of traumatic dieting. Despite the success stories publicized by Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers, and others, 90% of all diets end in failure. How can we fix the way we lose weight so that we make results last? Whether used on its own or in conjunction with any other diet, Dr. Freedhoff’s program shows how to replace a toxic dieting mindset with positive beliefs and behaviors. Dr. Freedhoff has uncovered the flawed thinking that sabotages even the most earnest weight loss efforts. The majority of dieting or weight loss programs call for regular sacrifice: Give up an entire food group; fight hunger day and night; undertake exhausting and grueling exercise regiments. These approaches are unrealistic, unhealthy, and make it nearly impossible to maintain results. Now, at last, there is hope. In The Diet Fix, Dr. Freedhoff offers a tested program for breaking down the negative thought patterns that prevent people from losing weight and keeping it off. Through the course of years of research and patient treatment, he has developed a 10-Day Reset that supports losing weight while maintaining a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle. This reset is designed to eliminate the habits that so often lead to weight gain: use it to shut down cravings, prevent indulgences from turning into binges, and break up with the scale once and for all. The 10-Day Reset can make any diet more effective, whether it’s low-carb, low-fat, meal replacement, calorie tracking, or anything in between.
