The medical risks of obesity increase exponentially as weight increases, and these risks are reduced by sustained weight loss. Behavior modification and dieting provide an approximately 6% loss of body weight at 1 year. Fenfluramine provides an approximately 8% weight loss at 1 year, which can be doubled to 16% when a drug such as phentermine, which ...

Biliopancreatic diversion is the only valuable surgical approach for changing intestinal absorption. It is efficient in producing appropriate permanent weight loss and has a considerable psychological advantage because it does not impose abnormal food restriction. It not only decreases caloric absorption, but it also directly improves insulin and lipid

Figures from the UK indicate that around 1 in 4 adults are obese (body mass index [BMI] above 30kg/m(2)) and 2% are morbidly obese (BMI above 40kg/m(2)).(1) Being obese is associated with morbidity (e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus, certain cancers, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases) and premature death.(2-6) Weight loss can reduce such problems

BACKGROUND: There have been few articles about bariatric surgery for morbidly obese children. Nevertheless, children who suffer clinically severe obesity also suffer poor social acceptance and an inability to participate in sports or other life activities. Since 1983 the author has performed vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (
