Severe Metabolic Bone Disease as a Long-Term Complication of Obesity Surgery

Abstract: This case illustrates not only the importance of informed consent in patients undergoing obesity operations, but also the importance of adequate follow-up for patients who have undergone these procedures. A thorough history and physical examination, a high index of clinical suspicion, and careful long-term follow-up, with specific laboratory testing, are needed to detect early metabolic bone disease in these patients.

“…RYGB can potentially be associated to two metabolic bone disorders osteomalacia and osteoporosis. Isolated cases of osteomalacia in patients submitted to gastric bypass for morbid obesity treatment have been published in the last few years, resembling old cases of osteomalacia after gastric resection for management of peptic ulcer (23,24). While severe osteomalacia seems a latter and less frequent complication, bone loss appears to be an early effect on almost all patients submitted to RYGB (Figure 1).…”

“…Radionuclide uptake displays more widespread patterns; these can be diffuse (a super scan) or be discrete (hotspots) [22,25]. However, these changes can frequently be mistaken for metastatic disease, limiting its use in isolation [24,26].…”

“…These symptoms, once established, require aggressive therapy with calcium, phosphate and vitamin D supplementation [24,29,30]. Localised bone pain may be due to underlying lesions such as lytic lesions like osteitis fibrosa cystica or pseudofractures [26] and an increased reporting of fractures and height reduction has been seen in patients following RYGB [31].…”
