“…The possible cause of post-bariatric surgery adrenal insufficiency could be malabsorption of factors that help in steroid biosynthesis such as bile, and therefore cholesterol levels, selenium, and other trace elements, and vitamin B5 and other vitamins. Additionally, weight loss causes re-setting of the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal axis [ 119 , 120 ].…”

“…However, individual variations may exist [ 121 ]. However, in patients having persisting symptoms of adrenal insufficiency despite oral hydrocortisone treatment, the cortisol day curve may be abnormal due to malabsorption of oral hydrocortisone [ 119 ].…”

“…Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Adrenal Function Adrenal insufficiency is a common complication after bariatric surgery. Therefore, clinicians should be very vigilant about symptoms and signs of adrenal insufficiency after bariatric surgery, such as anxiety, sweating, transient loss of consciousness, hypoglycaemia, and conflicting symptoms of profound weight loss or weight regain [119,120]. However, in patients who have rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery, these symptoms are often masked.…”

Obesity has reached pandemic proportions. Hormonal and metabolic imbalances are the key factors that lead to obesity. South Asian populations have a unique phenotype, peculiar dietary practices, and a high prevalence of consanguinity. Moreover, many lower middle-income countries lack appropriate resources, super-specialists, and affordability to manage this complex disorder. Of late, there has been a substantial increase in both obesity and diabesity in India. Thus, many more patients are being managed by different types of bariatric procedures today than ever before. These patients have many types of endocrine and metabolic disturbances before and after bariatric surgery. Therefore, these patients should be managed by experts who have knowledge of both bariatric surgery and endocrinology. The authors propose “Barocrinology”, a novel terminology in medical literature, to comprehensively describe the field of obesity medicine highlighting the role of knowing endocrine physiology for understating its evolution, insights into its complications and appreciating the changes in the hormonal milieu following weight loss therapies including bariatric surgery. Barocrinology, coined as a portmanteau of “baro” (weight) and endocrinology, focuses upon the endocrine and metabolic domains of weight physiology and pathology. This review summarizes the key pointers of bariatric management from an endocrine perspective.
