RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) results in lifelong changes in gastrointestinal physiology with unclear associations with appetite perception. OBJECTIVE: To explore mixed meal-induced changes in glucose homeostasis and gut hormones and their correlations with appetite perception. SETTING: University hospital. METHODS: Of 28 patients studied preoperatively (age: 38.4 ± 11.3 years; body mass index [BMI]: 56.5 ± 5.1 kg/m2; 14 women), 19 (68%) returned for postoperative follow-up. Plasma was sampled for 180 minutes during a 260-kcal standardized mixed meal. Concentrations of leptin, glucose, insulin, triglycerides, active acyl-ghrelin, motilin, total glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), active glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and total peptide YY (PYY) were measured. Subjective appetite sensations were scored. RESULTS: BPD/DS resulted in 66.1% ± 23.3% excess BMI loss. Leptin was halved. Glucose and insulin levels were reduced, blunting a preoperative peak at 30 minutes, giving a lower homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; 13.9 versus 4.8). In contrast, reduced ghrelin and motilin concentrations were accompanied by pronounced peaks 20-30 minutes prior to meal responses. GIP was reduced, whereas GLP-1 and PYY responses were markedly increased, with an early postprandial peak (P < .05, for all). HOMA-IR correlated with insulin (r = .72) and GIP (r = .57). Postoperatively, satiety correlated with GLP-1 (r = .56), whereas the gastric motility index correlated with the desire to eat (r = .60), percentage excess BMI loss (r = -.55), and percentage total weight loss (r = -.49). Delta insulin, GLP-1, and leptin correlated positively with percentage total weight loss (r = .51, r = .48, and r = .58, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: BPD/DS reduces leptin, HOMA-IR, and GIP while markedly increasing GLP-1 and PYY. This study marks the magnitude change in GLP-1 with additional effects of PYY as important factors for weight loss.

PURPOSE: Bariatric surgery alters gastrointestinal anatomy. In this exploratory study, the SmartPill® wireless motility capsule (WMC) was used to study changes in gastrointestinal physiology following biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-eight BPD/DS patients (35 ± 11 years, 50% females, body mass index [BMI] 56 ± 5) were to be examined preoperatively and postoperatively. In addition to transit time, appetite control and gastrointestinal symptoms were studied by patient-scored questionnaires (visual analogue scale and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS)). Data was compared to 41 lean unoperated controls. RESULTS: About 1.8 years postoperatively, 18 patients (BMI 35.8 ± 8.3) returned for a second WMC test. As expected, small bowel transit time was reduced, from 3.9 ± 1.6 h to 2.8 ± 2.0, p = 0.02, and at both these time points, it was shorter than in lean controls (5.4 ± 1.9 h, p = 0.001). Postoperatively, a trend towards reduced colon and whole gut transit times was seen in BPD/DS-patients, thus approaching those of lean controls. Surprisingly, BPD/DS patients scored higher satiety than controls preoperatively as well as increased hunger and desire to eat postoperatively. Compared to lean, BPD/DS patients reported a higher total GSRS score at both time points (1.2 ± 0.2 vs 1.7 ± 0.6 and 2.3 ± 0.5, p < 0.001). Postoperatively, the scores for diarrhea and indigestion increased. CONCLUSIONS: The novel use of the SmartPill system in BPD/DS patients gave the expected readouts. Although small bowel transit time was further shortened after BPD/DS, whole gut transit time did not differ from controls. Typical gastrointestinal symptoms were reported postoperatively.

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in the obese population. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence and importance of acid-related symptoms and diarrhea in 3 different types of bariatric operations: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). SETTING: National data from Sweden. METHODS: A total of 58,823 primary bariatric procedures (RYGB: 87.5%, SG: 11.7%, and BPD/DS: .7%) performed from 2007 to 2017 were identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Associations between acid-related symptoms and diarrhea, both defined by continuous use of pharmacologic treatment, and predefined outcomes were studied in a multivariate model, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and year of surgery. RESULTS: At baseline, acid-related symptoms were most common in RYGB (9.9%), while diarrhea was rare. In general, symptomatic patients were older, had more co-morbidities, and scored lower on quality of life compared with the remaining patients. In the multivariate analysis, RYGB patients with acid-related symptoms had reduced risk of prolonged operative time and length of stay, while postoperative complications and reoperations increased by 24% and 36%, respectively. In SG, both symptoms were associated with prolonged operative time and a doubled risk for complications. Symptomatic patients had reduced improvement in quality of life, while no association with the weight result was seen. Postoperatively, acid-related symptoms decreased in RYGB, while doubling in SG. Diarrhea increased 2- and 6-fold in RYGB and BPD/DS, respectively. CONCLUSION: The 2 gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with increased operative risks and reduced improvement in quality of life. Postoperatively, the respective anatomic alternations affected both gastrointestinal symptoms.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric procedures are increasingly being used, but data on bowel habits are scarce. OBJECTIVES: To assess changes in gastrointestinal function and patient-scored symptoms after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). SETTING: University hospital in Sweden. METHODS: We recruited 268 adult patients (mean age of 42.5 yr, body mass index 44.8, 67.9% female) listed for RYGB and BPD/DS. Patients answered validated questionnaires prospectively concerning bowel function, the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey before and after their operation. RESULTS: Postoperatively, 208 patients (78.2% of 266 eligible patients) answered the questionnaires. RYGB patients had fewer bowel motions per week (8 versus 10) and more abdominal pain postoperatively (P<.001). Postoperatively, the 35 BPD/DS patients (69% versus 23%) needed to empty their bowel twice or more than twice daily, reported more flatus and urgency, and increased need for keeping a diet (P<.001). Concerning Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale, coping and behavior was slightly reduced while depression and self-perception scores were improved after RYGB. Lifestyle, coping and behavior, and embarrassment were reduced after BPD/DS (P<.05). In the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, physical scores were markedly improved, while mental scores were largely unaffected. CONCLUSION: RYGB resulted in a reduced number of bowel movements but increased problems with abdominal pain. In contrast, BPD/DS-patients reported higher frequency of bowel movements, more troubles with flatus and urgency, and increased need for keeping a diet. These symptoms affected quality of life negatively, however, general quality of life was markedly improved after both procedures. These results will be of great value for preoperative counseling.
