- Dehydration
- Electrolyte Imbalance
- Abdominal Pain
What problems arose from jujunoileal bypasses?
- Vomiting
- Dehydration
- Electrolyte Imbalance
- Abdominal Pain
Why did these problems occur?
It took out all but the last 10% of the intestines
so malabsorption occurred frequently
Why did these problems occur?
It took out all but the last 10% of the intestines
so malabsorption occurred frequently
How does it help you lose weight?
very little absorption and calories are excreted out the feces

What gastric bypass procedures replaced it?
1. Gastric bypass
2. Vertical banded gastroplasty
3. Roux-en-Y gastric surgery
4. Gastric balloon
What gastric bypass procedures replaced it?
1. Gastric bypass
2. Vertical banded gastroplasty
3. Roux-en-Y gastric surgery
4. Gastric balloon
How does Gastric Bypass work?
A gastric bypass first divides the stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger, lower "remnant" pouch and then re-arranges the small intestine to allow both pouches to stay connected to it.
How does Gastric Bypass work?

What is the gold standard for bariatric surgery?
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
How does it promote weight loss?
Bypass the stomach and duodenum

Leaves small bowel so there is still absorption

Cut about about 30% of intestines
What are the side effects?
Vomiting
Electrolyte Imbalance
Malabsorption
How does the vertical banded gastroplasty work?
A small pouch is created in order to
control portion size of food

Intestines stay intact, so we don't lose absorption

Food leaks through band slower


Not as successful as gastric bypass
What are the side effects?
Abdominal discomfort

Vomiting
How does a Gastric Balloon work?
An inflatable balloon is placed in the stomach to
promote full feeling

Takes up about 3/4 of stomach
How long is the balloon usually implanted for?
6 months
What are the side effects?
Stomach Ulcers
(from stomach trying to digest it)

Vomiting
Who is responsible for regulating weight loss drugs?
The FDA
What about over the counter drugs?
They just have to prove they're safe,
not that they actually work
What are three important considerations for weight loss drugs?
1. Risk vs. Benefit
2. Potential for abuse
3. Weight-loss potential
What BMI is recommended for weight loss drugs?
BMI > 27
What else qualifies someone for them?
- Someone who isn't ready for surgery

- Inability to lose weight through behavior changes
(like diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes)

- People with family history of obesity
What are some contraindications to not use weight loss drugs?
- Cardiovascular problems
- Arrythmias
- Liver or kidney disease
- Pregnancy
- Psychiatric illness
What are anorectic drugs?
Appetite Suppresors
How do they work?
Activate "fight or flight system"

Ramps up metabolism and decreases appetite
What are the two main categories of anorectic drugs?
Catecholamergic and Serotonergic
Catecholamergic
suppress appetite by elevating NE and dopamine in CNS

ex. amphetamines, phentermine, phenylpropanolamine
Serotenergic
suppress appetite by elevating levels of serotonin in the CNS

ex. fenfluramine, fluoxetine, dexfenfluramin
What three drugs were used to make Fen-Phen?
1. Phentermine
2. Fenfluramine
3. D-fenfluramine
What problems resulted from Fen-Phen?
- Mitral Valve Prolapse
- HTN of lungs
- Congestive Heart Failure

*was because of Fen and D-Fen
Which new drug has been developed instead of Fen-Phen?
Sibutramine
What is Orlistat?
Fat replacer marketed as Alli

It reduces caloric intake by blocking absorption

Causes anal leakage and rectal bleeding
What are some new drugs being developed?
Leptin
- suppresses appetite
- increases energy expenditure

Neuropeptide Y antagonists
- blocks NPY, which stimulates eating

Galanin antagonists
- opposes Galanin, which stimulates eating
(particularly fats)
What are some weight loss drugs sold over the counter?
Orlistat (Alli)

Phenylpropanolamine (PPA)
- active ingredients are Dexatrim and Control
What is a dietary supplement?
Product other than tobacco usually ingested in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form
What are some common weight loss ones?
- Ephedra/ Ma huang: speeds up metabolism
- Caffeine: speeds up metabolism
- Chromium: reduces fat and increases LBM
- St. John's Wort: suppresses appetite
- Trytophan: suppresses appetite; reduces anxiety
- Dieter's tea: prevents calorie absoprtion
What are our ideal weight/suggest weight/ BMIs based on?
- Metropolitan Life Insurance Company tables
- Dietary Guidelines for Americans
- Based on height, weight, gender, and frame
What is the equation for percent overweight?
(Scale weight - Ideal weight) / (ideal weight)

all times 100
What are our caloric requirements based on?
- METS
- Paced activities
(jogging, walking, cycling)
What is a MET?
"Metabolic Equivalent"

1 MET = 3.5 mL/kg/min
Why do we use METS?
- Provides easy reference for activity
- Easy to convert to kcal expended
What are the catergories of METS?
Light: <3 METS
Moderate: 3 - 6 METS
Vigorous: >6 METS
What is the running equation?
VO2 = (.2 x S) + (.9 x S x G)
What is the walking equation?
VO2 = (.1 x S) + (1.8 x S x G)
How do you convert speed from mph to m/min?
Multiply it by 26.8
How do we convert from relative to absolute terms?
Times it by body weight and divide by 1000
What are the benefits of exercise?
- Increases EPOC
- Increases caloric expenditure
- Increases LBM
- Increases metabolic rate
- Regulates appetite
- Counteracts decrease in metabolism
- Increased self esteem
What is EPOC?
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption

Replenishes O2 stores after exercise
How does exercise regulate appetite?
Exercise ↓ ghrelin which then ↓ hunger

It also ↑ peptide YY, which suppresses the appetite
What aerobic exercise intensity is best for fat burning?
60 - 65%
What are the mental benefits of exercise?
- Acute mental benefits
• relieves stress

- Enhances mood

- Chronic mental benefits
• improves self preception
• improves self esteem
• improve achievement and empowerment
• improves depression and anxiety
Why do we hit a weight plateau?
Because of increases LBM

- it's made of water so it has a high density
- loosing fat and gaining muscle equal each other out
What type of fat is easiest to burn?
Central fat

Peripheral is harder
Individual weight loss variations are due to?
- Genetic differences
• metabolic rate

- Fat pattern
• central vs peripheral

- # of fat cells

- mechanical effciency

300 - 500 cals/session
or
2000 cals/week
