Filter by:The goal of this study is two part: 1) to add to the literature which is still somewhat sparse with numbers of patients undergoing the Single Anastomosis Duodenal Ileal Bypass (SADI) as a revision for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 2) to have a treatment option for our Kaiser Permanente patients who seek additional assistance after a LSG with persistent morbid obesity and the comorbidities that come with it.
This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a group psychotherapy intervention using Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) in adults with severe obesity. In particular, it aims to evaluate the principle that CFT can be used to reduce levels of shame and self-criticism in adults with severe obesity OBJECTIVES: The objective of the current study is to assess and compare a CFT group intervention to Treatment as Usual (TAU) with regard to psychological functioning, specifically self-compassion, shame, self-criticism, emotional eating and mood.
This is nationwide registry-based randomised clinical multicenter trial in which patients will be randomised to gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The co-primary endpoint are weight control over 5 years and the amount of severe adverse events. Additionally the investigators have predefined a number of secondary endpoints, and the trial has a sufficient number of patients to allow comparisons across subgroups.
After gastric bypass, 10-20% of patients will obtain a suboptimal weight loss, often defined as <50% of the excess body weight. Exaggerated meal related secretion of gut hormones seem important for appetite reduction and subsequent weight loss after gastric bypass, however it is not clear whether different gut hormone responses are responsible for different postoperative weight loss responses. The purpose of the study is to investigate gut hormone secretion, vagal integrity and the effect of octreotide on ad libitum food intake in patients with suboptimal weight loss after gastric bypass and compare results to a matched group of gastric bypass operated patients with high postoperative weight loss but similar age, sex and preoperative BMI.
Gastric Bypass followed by renal transplantation is superior to medical management followed by renal transplant for patients with severe obesity and renal failure.
