ACP Guidelines
Pharmacologic and Surgical Management
Recommendation # 1
ALL obese patients should be counseled on
therapeutic lifestyle changes such as:
– Diet
– Exercise
– Individualized weight and health goals
ALGORITHM FOR MANAGING OBESITY
Snow V, et al. Ann Intern Med.2005;142:525-531.
Recommendation # 2
Pharmacologic treatment can be offered to
obese patients who have failed TLC. (1) Side
effects, (2) lack of long-term safety data and (3)
temporary nature of weight loss needs to be
discussed.
Recommendation # 3
Adjunctive drug therapy options include:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Sibutramine
Orlistat
Phentermine
Diethylpropion
Fluoxetine
Bupropion
Choice will depend of side effects and patient’s
tolerance
Snow V, et al. Ann Intern Med.2005;142:525-531.
Myocardial Infarction Induced by
Appetite Suppressants in Malaysia
The authors report on two otherwise healthy young women who had
myocardial infarction with acute ST-segment elevation associated with the
use of phentermine and sibutramine.
Recommendation # 4
Surgery should be considered as an option for
patients with BMI > 40 who failed TLC (with or
without adjunctive drugs) and who present with
obesity-related comorbid conditions. Long-term
side effects (e.g. possible need for re-operation,
gall bladder disease and malabsorption) should
be discussed.

Nutritional Complications
• Macronutrient
– Protein-calorie malnutrition; S/Sx:
• Excessive weight loss (either beyond pre-determined goals
or too rapidly)
• Severe diarrhea and/or steatorrhea
• Low or diminishing visceral protein markers (i.e. albumin and
prealbumin)
• Hyperphagia
• Muscle wasting (marasmus)
• Edema (kwashiorkor)
– Fat Malabsorption
Malinowski SS. Am J Med Sci. 2006;331:219-225.
Nutritional Complications
• Micronutrient
– Vitamin B12
– Iron
– Folate
– Calcium
– Thiamine
– Fat-soluble vitamins
Another Complication
• Cholelithiasis
–
–
–
–
From post-surgical weight loss not the surgery
About 50% had sludge, which may lead to cholesterol stones
Ursodiol x 6 months post-bypass effective in reduction of events
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy usually safe and effective in
symptomatic uncomplicated cholelithiasis
– Surgical treatment of choledocholithiasis may be more
complicated due to difficult access to biliary tree by ERCP
Recommendation # 5
Patient should be referred to high-volume
centers with surgeons experienced in bariatric
surgery.
Take Home Points
• Obesity is generally defined as BMI > 30
• Prevalence is growing; last year, only 4 states remain to
have obesity prevalence < 20%
• All obese patients, without exception, need counseling
for TLC (i.e. diet, exercise, individual goals)
• Pharmacologic treatment lack long-term safety data
• Bariatric surgery, while effective, may have multiple
GI, nutritional and metabolic complications
MANAGEMENT MUST BE INDIVIDUALIZED
AND THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED
WITH A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM.
