BaroNova?
Well this is something interesting? FDA has granted premarket approval to BaroNova for a device to treat obesity that is inserted into the stomach, where it delays gastric emptying. It is removed after 12 months. The device, called the TransPyloric Shuttle system, is placed and removed through the mouth in an endoscopic procedure. Approval was based on the company's 270-patient pivotal study in which people treated with the device lost three times more weight on average than patients who had a sham procedure in the control group. Dive Insight: Despite obesity prevalence at 39.8% in 2015-16, affecting about 93.3 million... Continue reading

My daughter’s pre-op update
In her own words from her post with typos! (I will add my experiences of these processes as the Parent-Of-Patients soon. I HAVE SOME THINGS TO SAY. It’s very hard to find time to write like I used to— I have been waiting for my smallest child to settle down and not find him on a ceiling fan. This is being posted from the bathroom, with him.) Anyway — her quick post from yesterday — Update: About four months ago I made a huge decision that is going impact the rest of my life; I started to take part in... Continue reading

Gastric bypass surgery causes type 2 diabetes to go into remission in most patients
Gastric bypass surgery causes type 2 diabetes to go into remission in most patients. A new study published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) has found that three quarters of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were treated with obesity surgery known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) experienced diabetes remission within one year of treatment.

Bariatric Surgery Alters Gene Expression -- WHAT?
IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE MY 23 & ME?! CHICAGO – As Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery changes eating habits and transforms a patient's gut, different levels of gene expression that emerge post-surgery may provide clues for new type 2 diabetes treatments, researchers suggested here. In preliminary findings, Margaret Stefater, MD, PhD, a fellow at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, reported that intestinal genetic fingerprinting using gene-chip microarray technology may predict clinical outcomes, with the degree of those outcomes tied to intestinal gene expression signatures. Stefater reported on 19 patients during a press conference at ENDO 2018, remarking that gene expression changes... Continue reading

Study - Alcohol abuse after gastric bypass - 1 in 5
ONE IN FIVE. ONE. IN. FIVE. http://www.soard.org/article/S1550-7289(17)30152-1/fulltext One in five patients who undergo one of the most popular weight-loss surgical procedures is likely to develop problems with alcohol, with symptoms sometimes not appearing until years after their surgery, according to one of the largest, longest-running studies of adults who got weight-loss surgery. The finding -- reported online today in Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases, the journal of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery -- indicates that bariatric surgery patients should receive long-term clinical follow-up to monitor for and treat alcohol use disorder, which includes alcohol abuse and...

MRI Machines and Crumbly Bits
I am in my third month of sciatica pain, the kind that makes you consider stomach ulcerations by taking All Of The Ibuprofen In The House over the course of the last twelve weeks. After two or three urgent care appointments and an orthopaedic doctor visit, I saw my primary care doctor and asked her what I could do. I am no longer able to walk normally, lay down or sit. It is a bit ridiculous how stupid this pain is, if I sit (like right his very moment) it takes me quite a long time to get out of... Continue reading

From NYT - Why WLS Works When Diets Don't
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm sharing this for my blog's historical reference because it's AMAZING INFORMATION -- and even if you "don't agree," because it's not your experience, it's science! Via New York Times - https://nyti.ms/2kBVirc “Bariatric surgery is probably the most effective intervention we have in health care,” says Laurie K. Twells, a clinical epidemiologist at Memorial University of Newfoundland. She bases this bold claim on her experience with seriously obese patients and a detailed analysis of the best studies yet done showing weight-loss surgery’s ability to reverse the often devastating effects of being extremely overweight on health and...
