Shortcoming is that BMI does not take in to consideration lean body mass to fat body mass composition. Some athletes have low body fat, but high lean body mass and their BMI may be elevated.
Since 1985 obesity has been recognized as a chronic disease. It affects
Weight reduction may sometimes be achieved through medically-supervised dieting and intensive behavior modification, but when this fails, surgery is an option. Over the years, refinements in surgical procedures have led to reports of results superior to those seen with the earlier operations. In an effort to evaluate the objective evidence for these new technologies, the NIH held a consensus development conference on GI surgery for Severe obesity. A 13-member panel developed a consensus statement after hearing scientific presentations from many physicians, scientists, health care professionals, etc. The generally accepted criteria for surgical treatment developed at the 1991 National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference Panel [ 24 ] include BMI greater than 40 or BMI greater than 35 in combination with life-threatening cardiopulmonary problems or severe diabetes mellitus.
The first bariatric procedure to be presented to a recognized surgical society and published in a peer reviewed journal was that of Linner and Kremen in 1954. The case which they presented was of a jejuno-ileal bypass.(JIB). Jejuno-ileal bypass involved joining the upper small intestine to the lower part of the small intestine bypassing a large segment of the small bowel, which is thus taken out of the nutrient absorptive circuit. The premise of this bypass was that patients could eat large amounts of food and the excess would either be poorly digested or passed along too rapidly for the body to absorb. In addition, the procedure caused a temporary decrease in appetite which also resulted in weight loss. The procedure was very successful at producing weight loss, however patients developed chronic diarrhea, kidney stones, and liver disease. So a search for a better procedure followed.
As a consequence of all these complications, jejuno-ileal bypass is no longer a recommended Bariatric Surgical Procedure. Indeed, the current recommendation for anyone who has undergone JIB and still has the operation intact, is to strongly consider having it taken down and converted to one of the gastric restrictive procedures.
In 1967 the gastric bypass was devised and performed by Dr. Edward Mason at the University of Iowa. Dr. Mason noted that patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease remained below normal weight and could not gain weight easily. His approach involved stapling most of the stomach, bypassing the duodenum, and allowing the undigested food to pass directly into the jejunum. Most of the early operations failed because the pouch eventually became enlarged.
The technique was modified to obtain a 50 mL pouch and a Roux-en-Y limb to minimize bile reflux from the loop gastrojejunostomy. The roux limb was lengthened to 100-150 cm in order to increase malabsorption and improve weight loss. The technique has been modified throughout the years with regard to the gastric pouch and retrocolic position of the roux limb. This procedure has stood the test of time, with one series of 500 patients followed for 14 years with patients maintaining 50% excess weight loss.
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) does NOT refer to a specific operation. It describes any anatomic arrangement within the GI tract that diverts bile and pancreatic secretions from their usual anatomic paths. The goal of BPD is maintaining protein digestion/absorption but decreasing fat digestion by delaying the interaction between fat and biliopancreatic secretions. In addition, when the upper jejunum is bypassed, beneficial entero-humeral effects on carbohydrate metabolism is gained. The morbidly obese seem to overproduce insulin. With changes in jejunal hormonal release, insulin production and resistance are decreased. Starch metabolism in beneficially altered. Scopinaro’s procedure= distal gastrectomy to reduce the incidence of peptic ulceration, an alimentary limb consisting of the terminal 250 cm of ileum, and a biliopancreatic limb consisting of the rest of the small bowel. The common channel is 50 cm beyond the biliopancreatic to alimentary anastomosis. This procedure has two components. A limited gastrectomy results in reduction of oral intake, inducing weight loss, especially during the first postoperative year. The second component of the operation, construction of a long limb Roux-en-Y anastomosis with a short common "alimentary" channel of 50 cms length. This creates a significant malabsorptive component which acts to maintain weight loss long term. Dr Scopinaro recently published long term results of this operation, reporting 72% excess body weight loss maintained for 18 years. These are the best results, in terms of weight loss and duration of weight loss, reported in the bariatric surgical literature to this date. Disadvantages of the procedure are the association with loose stools, stomal ulcers, offensive body odor and foul smelling stools and flatus. The most serious potential complication is protein malnutrition, which is associated with hypoalbuminemia, anemia, edema, asthenia, alopecia, generally requires hospitalization and 2 - 3 weeks hyperalimentation. BPD patients need to take supplemental calcium and vitamins, particularly Vitamin D, lifelong. Because of this potential for significant complications, BPD patients require lifelong follow-up. In BPD patients who have received 200 - 300 cm alimentary limbs because of protein malnutrition concerns, the incidence of protein malnutrition fell dramatically to range from 0.8% to 2.3%

This bariatric procedure separates the stomach into an upper pouch along the lesser curvature of the stomach about 5 cm long with a diameter of approximately 1.5 cm and a volume of 20 to 40 mL, into which ingested food enters. This small restricted pouch then empties into the rest of the stomach through an 11-mm diameter channel. This channel is wrapped or banded externally with a ring of nonexpandable prosthetic material to prevent the stoma from enlarging over time and counteracting the restriction of anatomy and the success of the operation. This gastric restrictive approach was attractive in theory because of its technical ease, low morbidity, and lack of any bypass of the intestinal tract. Although this operation works quite well in patients who maintain a bulky diet of meat and potatoes by preventing ingestion of large volumes, 50% of patients quickly recognize that high-calorie liquids (e.g., ice cream and milkshakes) rapidly slide through the stoma and do not lead to a rapid early satiety; such patients change their diet, and their weight increases, many times back to their preoperative weight. The authors evaluated results at the Mayo Clinic with vertical banded gastroplasty in 70 patients from 1985 through 1989. [ 23 ] Although morbidity and mortality were low, at 3 years postoperatively, only 38% of patients had lost and maintained at least 50% of their excess weight. Despite the unsatisfactory results, many groups throughout the United States continue to advocate this operation because of its safety and lack of significant metabolic side effects.
1988 Doug Hess of Ohio modified BPD, called Duodenal switch with sleeve gastric reduction. Dr. Marceau and colleagues in Quebec have pioneered this approach. The procedure is accomplished by transecting the duodenum 5 cm beyond the pylorus. 250 cm of distal ileum becomes the alimentary limb and is anastomosed to the proximal duodenal segment. The balance of the small intestine is the biliopancreatic limb. The common channel is 100 cm. Sleeve gastrectomy preserves the pylorus, all or most of the antrum, and a significant amount of duodenum. Marginal ulcers are prevented. Increased iron and calcium absorption occurs compared to gastric bypass. Stomach size is ~200-250cc. Antum preservation results in minimal B12 deficiency. Dumping is prevented with normal
