Chapter 10. Obesity

Aerobic physical activity (such as brisk walking) progress­ing to 150 min/week performed on 3–5 separate days per week.
Resistance exercise single-set repetitions involving major muscle groups, two to three times per week to maximize fat loss while preserving lean mass.
Reduction of sedentary behavior to increase overall energy expenditure.
Higher levels of physical activity, approximately 200– 300 min/week, are recommended to maintain lost weight or minimize weight gain in the long term (>1year). A combina­tion of aerobic and resistance is better than either alone.
Behavior therapy A structured behavior change program should be offered, utilizing a multidisciplinary team that includes any number of the following:
Self-monitoring of food intake, exercise and goal setting, education (face-to-face individual or group sessions or remotely, i.e., telephone), problem-solving strategies, stimulus control, behavior contracting, stress reduction, cognitive restructuring, motivational interviewing, and psychological evaluation and counseling with treatment if needed. These same behaviors are recommended for weight-loss mainte- nance, with the addition of frequent monitoring of body weight (weekly or more often). Behaviors that support life­style changes help people achieve and sustain weight loss.
Pharmacotherapy
Drugs for overweight and obesity should be used only as an adjunct to lifestyle therapy and not alone.
Pharmacotherapy can be considered:
• In individuals with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, without complica-
tions in whom lifestyle therapy fails to achieve weight-loss
goals.
• In individuals with a BMI ≥27 kg/m2, with one or more
complications in whom lifestyle therapy fails to achieve
weight-loss goals.
220
J. S. Ruddock and G. Goswami
Pharmacotherapy is initiated:
• When lifestyle therapy alone fails and the patient progres-
sively gains weight or has no clinical improvement in
weight- related complications.
The addition of pharmacotherapy produces greater weight loss and weight-loss maintenance compared to lifestyle ther­apy alone and leads to a longer duration of maintained weight loss [31]. In selecting the optimal weight-loss medica­tion for each patient, clinicians should consider differences in efficacy, side effects, cautions, and the presence of weight­related complications and medical history. Pharmacotherapy should be offered when potential benefits outweigh the risks of chronic treatment of the disease. Medications that contrib­ute to weight gain should be discontinued if possible. Weight­loss medications should be avoided in women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. It is recommended that weight-loss medications be discontinued after 12 weeks if weight loss does not exceed 5% of body weight.
Weight-loss medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the short-term use (3 month) is phentermine, while for the long-term use in the treatment of obesity are orlistat (Xenical Alli), phentermine/topiramate extended-release combination (Qsymia), naltrexone ER/ bupropion ER (Contrave), liraglutide 3mg (Saxenda), and semaglutide (Wegovy) which is the most recent addition in June 2021. Previously approved lorcaserin (Belviq) was vol­untarily withdrawn from the market in February 2020 [32].
See Tables 10.3 for specific information about each drug.
Weight-Loss Surgery andProcedures
In obese adults, bariatric surgery is more effective than con­ventional medical treatment, lifestyle intervention, or medi­cally supervised weight loss. The Swedish Obese Subjects study followed 2000 patients up to 20 years after surgery which included banded gastroplasty, gastric banding, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass done by open techniques. There

was a 24% reduction in overall mortality, obesity-related morbidity (e.g., decreased incident rates of diabetes, hyper­tension, dyslipidemia), and improvements in quality of life in the bariatric surgery group compared with the conventionally treated group [33]. Recent studies in US populations also support the enduring nature of these outcomes long term [34]. However, despite the growing prevalence of obesity and demonstrated efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery, only ~0.5% of eligible patients receive this treatment [2]. While the internist does not perform surgery, primary care physi­cians play an important role in terms of identifying patients who may benefit from surgery, advising them to consider this option and referring to a skilled bariatric surgery team for evaluation if deemed appropriate [35].
Surgical intervention is indicated and consistently covered by insurance carriers for patients with the following:
• BMI of ≥40kg/m2 who have failed comprehensive lifestyle
therapy and pharmacological means
• BMI of ≥35kg/m2 with one or more severe obesity-related
complications (who have not met weight-loss goals) if the
anticipated benefits outweigh the risks, side effects, and
cost of the surgical procedure
Consensus guidelines now also recognize the following additional indications for surgery though not yet widely cov­ered by medical insurance carriers [36]:
• Patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome with a BMI
of 30–34.9kg/m2 with inadequate glycemic control despite
optimal lifestyle and medical therapy [2, 13]
• Patients with a BMI >27kg/m2 in persons of Asian descent
with comorbid diabetes mellitus
• Patients at any weight, to achieve optimal health and qual-
ity of life when the amount of weight loss needed to pre-
vent or treat clinically significant obesity-related
complications cannot be obtained using nonsurgical
therapy
Chapter 10. Obesity
The procedures that are commonly used include the following:
• Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding
• Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy comprises 70% of cur­rently performed procedures, followed by laparoscopic gas­tric bypass (25%), adjustable gastric banding (3%), and duodenal switch (2%) [36]. See Tables 10.4 for more informa-
tion about common surgical options.
Newer procedures that have been FDA approved include aspiration therapy and space-occupying gastric devices. FDA trials of gastric emptying devices are underway [36]. These novel procedures are considered as possibly suitable for patients being bridged to surgery or for those who have failed non-invasive interventions and are too high risk for surgical intervention [37]. Non-surgical procedures may be consid­ered in patients who may benefit from short-term interven­tions with high chance of maintaining lifestyle changes for sustained weight loss [36].

Long-Term Follow-Up After Uncomplicated Bariatric Surgery
Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery need lifelong follow-up visits. Follow-up with a multidisciplinary team con­sisting of the bariatric surgeon, medical obesity specialists, endoscopists, nurses, registered dietician, psychologists, exer­cise physiologists, and support groups is important to opti­mize results post-surgery. Obesity-related complications should be reviewed and medications adjusted as needed dur­ing follow-up. Metabolic deficiencies commonly seen with RYGB (e.g., serum calcium, iron, B12, vitamin D, folate, and thiamine) should be assessed at 3 and 6 months and then annually after surgery [36]. It is now estimated that 25–35%

of patients experience weight regain after bariatric surgery, and therefore it is important to monitor patients closely and consistently to help in preventing and managing weight regain [38]. There is also a growing body of evidence support­ing an increased risk of alcohol use disorder (AUD) after bariatric surgery procedures, so this should be discussed with patients prior to surgery. The incidence seems to be highest 2 years after surgery, so physicians should continue to vigi­lantly screen and counsel patients regarding the increased risk at their follow-up visits [36, 39].
Clinical Pearls
• Undesirable terms such as “heaviness,” “fat,” “large size,”
“excess fat,” and “fatness” and even the term “obese”
should be avoided when addressing issues regarding
weight.
• Lifestyle modification is the foundation of all treatment
algorithms.
• Weight-loss medications should not be prescribed to
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Women of
reproductive age should be using a reliable contraceptive
method.
• Obesity is a chronic disease and requires ongoing treat-
ment. Patients will have varying motivation and adherence
and will need ongoing encouragement.
• Patients and sometimes physicians have unrealistic
weight- loss goals, and it is important to establish realistic
and achievable goals. A 5–10% weight reduction is clini-
cally significant and may take 6 months or more to
accomplish.
Don’t Miss This!
• Even a brief conversation with their primary care provider
can make a difference in patient’s perceptions of excess
weight as a medical issue. Remember to ask patients per-
mission before initiating conversations about their weight.
Be sensitive and nonjudgmental in your approach to all
conversations regarding weight management.

• Medications are FDA approved for the chronic long-term
treatment of obesity and can be prescribed in the appro-
priate patient.
• Surgery is effective and safe in appropriately selected
patients (Tables 10.3 and 10.4).
