Elevation of parathyroid hormone, low dietary calcium intake, and vitamin D plasma insufficiency without BMD reduction occurred after RYGBP. Patients who underwent RYGBP had adequate lipid profiles but inadequate intake protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, and iron. Vitamin D deficiency may occur in the late postoperative period.

Whole flaxseed and defatted flaxseed did not promote satiety in women in the late postoperative of RYGBP. However, the test meals with a lower fat content increased the serum leptin levels.

BackgroundAlong with the augmentation in obesity rates in recent years, the demand for bariatric surgery has startlingly increased. Nutritional counseling in the preoperative period is very important because it contributes to higher success rate in the post-operative period.AimTo assess the nutritional status of patients in a multidisciplinary program for the treatment of severe obesity and pre-operatively for bariatric surgery, characterizing the consumption of healthy nutrients.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 30 patients was conducted. Personal information, anthropometric data and dietary assessment by 24-hour food record were collected. The analysis of energy intake was performed in Dietpro 5.1 Professional® program. The statistical treatment of the caloric intake was performed by an ANOVA test with Bonferroni's post hoc and for anthropometric data the paired t test was used.ResultsFrom the total, 73% of the patients were women and 27% male, mean age was 48.4+12.9 and 49.8+8.1, respectively. A lower weight in the 5th appointment was observed when compared with the 1st one. There was a reduction in caloric intake in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th appointments when compared with the 1st. It was observed that in the 5th appointment more than 50% of the patients underwent six meals a day. There was an increase in the consumption of fruit along the appointments and 72.2% of patients consumed 1-2 servings of fruit a day. Vegetables intake was high in all appointments in the pre-operative period and, although low, the whole grain products consumption has increased during the pre-operative period achieving 30% of the study population.ConclusionThere was a decrease in body weight, a trend in the decrease of the body mass index and waist circumference and quantitative and qualitative improvement of food consumption.

Antecedentes: Se considera que la cirugía bariátrica es el método inmediato más eficaz para la pérdida de peso en la obesidad mórbida a pesar de observarse, en algunos casos, la recuperación del peso corporal después de algunos años. El control del apetito, la saciedad y la satisfacción son esenciales para que los resultados se mantengan a largo plazo después de la cirugía. La composición de ácidos grasos de la dieta podría ser un factor implicado en la regulación de la saciedad. Debido a que la linaza es un alimento con alto contenido en ácido linolénico, el objetivo del presente estudio es verificar la influencia de la grasa de la linaza en el apetito y la saciedad de las mujeres después de la cirugía bariátrica.Material y métodos: Seis mujeres que se habían sometido a cirugía bariátrica al menos 2 años antes participaron en un ensayo cruzado a simple ciego que comparó el efecto en la saciedad de dos comidas isocalóricas que contienen linaza dorada integral (rica en ácidos grasos poliinsaturados y fibra) (G1) y linaza desgrasada (rica solamente en fibra) (G2), con 1 semana de aclaramiento. Esta variable se estimó mediante escala analógica visual en las dos comidas, en el periodo basal (T0), inmediatamente después de la ingestión (T1) y 60, 120 y 180 min después (T60, T120 y T180). Además, se evaluó la antropometría, la composición corporal y variables de laboratorio (glucosa y los lípidos) y dietéticas, en ayunas.Resultados: Los voluntarios eran obesos y tenían exceso de adiposidad central, incluso 2 años después de la cirugía, y aún mostraban ingesta habitual de fibra por debajo de la cantidad recomendada. G1 presentó reducción del hambre después de 180 min en comparación con G2 (p = 0,046). Otros parámetros relacionados con el apetito y la saciedad no difirieron entre los grupos.Conclusiones: Se observó menos hambre 180 min después de ingerir linaza dorada integral en comparación con la linaza desgrasada, lo que indica que la linaza dorada integral podría estar indicada en el tratamiento de la obesidad a largo plazo tras cirugía bariátrica, debido al control de las sensaciones de apetito y saciedad.

Background: Due to the high failure rate observed in the clinical treatment of morbid obesity an increase in bariatric surgery indications, as an alternative for the control of obesity and comorbidities, is noticeable. Aim: To evaluate the performance of type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia in patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in late follow-up. Methods:Retrospective analysis of 59 patients included in the bariatric surgery program. Anthropometric (height and body weight) and laboratory (LDLc, HDLc, VLDLc, triglyceride -TG - and glucose) data were collected on pre- and postoperative stages, through medical records. Results: Among the patients, 86% were female aged 43±11, of whom 52% had attended high school. The average postoperative time was 7±3 years. During the postoperative period, there were decreases of weight and body mass index, respectively (133±06 kg vs 91±04 kg p<0.05 e 49±74 kg/m2 vs 33±79 kg/m2, p<0.05). In comparison to the preoperative stage, lower concentrations of glucose (101.00±26.99 vs 89,11±15.19, p=0.014), total cholesterol rates (179.00±37,95 vs 167.48±28,50, p=0.016), LDLc (104.30±33.12 vs 91.46±24.58, p=0.016), VLDLc (25.40±11,12 vs 15.68±7.40, p<0.01), and TG (143.35±86.35 vs 82.45±37.39, p<0.01) and higher concentrations of HDLc (43.53±8.23 vs 57.90±15.60, p<0.01) were identified in the postoperative stage. 40% of hypertensive patients were still undergoing high blood pressure treatment during the postoperative stage. There was remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia on 81% and 94% of the cases, respectively. Conclusion: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has proven itself to be an effective long term procedure, promoting weight loss, remission of DM2 and dyslipidemia.

BackgroundObesity is a chronic disease with high growth in population and bariatric surgery is currently considered the most effective treatment for weight reduction; on the other hand, nutritional deficiencies are observed after this procedure.AimTo analyze weight loss progression and nutritional anemia in patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on use of vitamin and mineral supplementation.MethodsRetrospective analysis of 137 patients of both sexes, aged between 18-60 years, using supplemental multivitamins and minerals, were included; personal information, anthropometric and laboratory data in the preoperative, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months postoperatively were collected.ResultsPostoperatively, in both sexes, occurred weight loss compared to the pre-operative weight gain at 48 months and maintenance of body mass index. There was a decrease in the percentage of excess weight loss at 48 months postoperatively compared to the time of 12, 24 and 36 months in men and decreased at 48 postoperative months compared to the time of 24 months in females. There was a decreased in serum ferritin in both sexes and increased serum iron at 48 months postoperatively in males. There was a decreased in vitamin B12 and folic acid increased serum at 48 postoperative months in females.ConclusionsSurgical treatment was effective for reducing weight, body mass index reduction and achievement of success in the late postoperative period along with multivitamin and mineral supplementation on prevention of serious nutritional deficiencies and anemia.
