Massive Weight Loss Without Surgery in a Super Obese Patient

Abstract: Large weight losses are rarely achieved through non-surgical procedures, but are also possible without professional help. A massive weight loss may be complicated by the development of an eating disorder psychopathology, followed by weight regain. We report the case of a male patient with super obesity (BMI, 86.2 kg/m 2 ), who achieved a massive weight loss (170 kg in 2 years) largely without professional help and without surgery. The final body weight (∼100 kg; BMI, 32.6) has now been maintained for nearly 2 … Show more

“…16 studies were identified as possibly relevant and underwent a full text critical appraisal, resulting in 8 exclusions. One study investigated exercise programs for Prader-Willi patients [ 14 ], 3 studies investigated pulmonary physiotherapy in the bariatric population [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], 1 publication appeared to be a case report [ 18 ], 1 was a research protocol [ 19 ], 1 article was only available in Swedish [ 20 ], and 1 article was only available in Spanish [ 21 ].…”

“…However, losing and maintaining weight from overweight/obesity and losing weight and maintaining weight loss from severe obesity might be significantly different phenomena, and qualitative studies of long-term weight loss maintenance after severe obesity are lacking. Stories of people who manage to lose weight and keep it off for the long term after severe obesity exist and are acknowledged, but are presented as exceptional, anecdotal success stories and are not analysed in detail (Freedhoff & Hall, 2016; Marzocchi, Cappellari, Dalle Grave, & Marchesini, 2011; Sharma, 2017). This means that as an experiential phenomenon, long-term weight loss after severe obesity is largely unexplored.…”

“…Entretanto, em até 90% dos pacientes o emagrecimento obtido clinicamente não se sustenta em longo prazo (MIRAS e LE ROUX, 2013) e apenas um em cada seis indivíduos adultos com obesidade mantém uma perda de 10% do peso por um ano (KRASCHNEWSKI et al, 2010). Relatos de manutenção de perdas de peso mais expressivas com tratamento clínico são bastante raros (MARZOCCHI et al, 2009).…”
