BPD-DS (5)

A

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

  • For extreme obese cases
    1. Sleeve gastrectomy and bowel resection
    2. Common limb ~ 100cm of the ileum (the only functional gut system)
    3. More malabsorption than RYGB. Pancreatic and gastric enzymes reach the ileum at the anastomosis.
    4. Not reversible

Q

Outcome of Wt loss

A

• Insulin resistance can resolve immediately after BS
○ Due to the change of hormone adaption
○ Regardless to weight loss
○ Definitely prolong the 89% patients has reduced the mortality after 5 yrs post- surgery.

Q

BMI and real outcome

A

Goal is for weight reduction to improve overall health outcomes
- As per BMI, individuals may still be categorized as ‘obese’.
Few patients arrive to their ideal body weight (IBW) as per BMI.

Q

why patients are easy to feel hungry after BS?

A

the length of common limb become shorter, so less absorption in the gut. However, the the hormone excretion hasn’t reduced

Q

how does BS helps weight loss? (3) and give the types of surgery

A
  • Gastric restriction (all surgeries)
  • Common limb length (RYGB, BPD-DS): Shorter common limb = more malabsorption
  • ↓Gut hormones ↓ (↑ after a year) Ghrelin (appetite);↓ Leptin

27
Q

definition of early post-operation period

A

< 30 days post-op

28
Q

nutrition: post-op– texture Texture progression

why?

A

To reduce vomiting and allow healing of anastomosis; To reduce vomiting and habituate patient to their new gastric pouch.

29
Q

what is the texture progression will post-op pt experience? and how long at each stage?

A
  • Clear fluids (1-3 days)
    • Full fluids/puree (5 weeks)
    • Solids (for life)
      Portion progression: ½ cup to start, ↑ to 1 cup portions per meal/snack.
30
Q

why choose very low calorie diet (VLCD) 2 weeks prior to surgery?

A

induce ketosis–> reduce liver size liver volume by decreasing intra-hepatic fat

- Improves visibility for surgeons 
- Reduced surgical risks
31
Q

very low calorie diet (VLCD) for pre-op

A 
- 800-900 calories 
Low carb ( <100 g/d, high protein, moderate fat)
32
Q

Nutrition concerns:Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies— Doudenum

A

Ca Fe

33
Q

Nutrition concerns:Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies— Jejunum

A

fat-solv vit: ADEK, folate

34
Q

Nutrition concerns:Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies— terminal ileum

A

vitamin B12

35
Q

Nutrition concerns: reduced Ca and Fe absorption– why

A

Removal of fundus
• Reduced
gastric acidity (hydrochloric acid - HCl) }
- may pass doudenum but probably not much / none absorption because there is no pancreatic enzyme

36
Q

Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies are commonly in which type of BS?

A

RYGB: indicates more common deficiencies in BS

BPD-DS: common in BS, fat Vit deficiencies at greater risk

37
Q

Why Vit B12 is a big concern although all paths go through ileum?

A

Vit B12 need IF to absob, but excluded fundus cannot produce IF

38
Q

Why would prefer to using calcium citrate instead of calcium carbonate after bariatric surgery? (see slide 28)

A

1) it does not require stomach acid to aid in its absorption 2) less risk of kidney stones when supplementing with calcium citrate 3) less constipating compared to calcium carbonate 4) can be taken with or without a meal,

39
Q

Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies: monitor & control

A
  • daily compliance
  • routine blood test
  • adjust the dose if necessary
40
Q

why protein status is one of the biggest concern?

A
  • There must be a big lean body mass loss with the weight loss (even cause the reduction of metabolic rate)
  • decreased dietary intake
  • mal-absorption
41
Q

Post-op: The causes of primary and secondary post-op protein malnutrition

A

1’ Primary protein malnutrition (PM) or protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)
Rare but at risk in all bariatric surgeries
Due to decreased oral intake/volume restriction

2’
Secondary PM or PEM:
type of surgeries: RYGB (rare) and BPD-DS (uncommon, but possible) :
Due to malabsorption

42
Q

nutrition: late stage of post-op– texture Texture progression
Suggestions when eating and drinking

A
  • well chewing

- drinking: no chug, just seeping

43
Q

why need to chew food well and avoid drink with meal?

A
  1. Reduced grounding function of food in the stomach — may cause esophageal dysphagia.
  2. a big amount water will flush out the food without proper digestion.
44
Q

if there is a patient showing symptom of vomiting, what is your first judgement?

A
  1. improper texture
  2. if chewing well when eating
  3. way of food preparation and eating: not too dry, be soft and moist; binging?; eat too much
  4. if the symptoms occur after 6 week post-op ( ususally on solid), refer to doc while reducing texture to applesauce
45
Q

2 phases: dumping syndrome

A

early Phase : dizziness, nausea, weakness, rapid pulse, diarrhea —diarrhea is the most common symptom— 10-30min post meal; due to Due to rapid transit of hyperosmotic food into the jejunum (usually
simple sugars)

Late phase: hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia— because body gives a shot of insulin to the exaggerate reaction to the undigested CHO
—- 1-3 hours post meal

46
Q

the cause: dumping syndrome

A

Because of loss of sphincter, food easily slides into gut without proper breaking down
It happens with concentrated or simple liquid sugars (common in dessert and pure fruits)

47
Q

NUTR internvention How to improve: dumping syndrome

A

re-form the portion of plate: protein more, CHO less

- If the case does not improve, recommend to other professionals

48
Q

(ASMBS) protein recommendation

A

Band, sleeve, RYGB:
1.0-1.5 g/kg IBW (~60-120g/d)

BPD/DS:
1.5 – 2.0 g/kg IBW (~90-120 g/d)

Focus on high biological value/high quality protein.
} High PDCAAS: egg white, whey, casein, soy
} Low PDCAAS: collagen, gelatin

49
Q

PDCAAS

A

to evaluate the quality of protein: based on the type of AA and how easy to digest by human

50
Q

T/F use MSJ equation to calculate patient’s NRG requirement after BS

A

Although it is more accurate with obese population (BMI >30)
} …but does not appear to be applicable to a post-op bariatric
patient

51
Q

what will cause diarrhea after BS

A

Lactose intolerance
} Dumping syndrome
} Sugar alcohols ( big liquid load of sugar)

52
Q

the 6 key rules of dietary modification after BS

A
  • Limit liquid calories
  • but hydrate w/ Low kcal, low caffeine, low sugar, no carbonation
  • a balanced plate: 1. protein 2. vegetables 3. grains
  • Reduce frequency of eating out
  • Decrease processed foods/simple sugars
  • Decrease high fat foods
53
Q

when to drink liquid w/ meal? if drink w/ with meal, what will happen?

A

15min before
or
30min after

quickly flush out food without proper digestion– > trigger hunger—> increase food intake—> possible weight gain?

54
Q

if there is a patient reporting symptoms of shakiness, sweats,
nausea, and feeling very unwell, first judgement?

A
  1. is it onset by the last meal/ snack?
  2. type of food?
  3. diarrhea?
55
Q

nesidioblastosis

A

hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia

56
Q

Is hair loss always a sign of poor protein intake?

A

No. Consider ‘shock loss’ (telogen effluvium), the thinning or
shedding of hair due to physiological stress of surgery. (3-6 mon post op)

But before diagonosing this prob, reassure the adequate protein intake and vitamin compliance.

57
Q

A 46 year old woman who had a BPD-DS about 2 years
ago tells you that she has been losing a lot of hair over
the past 2 months and that she is afraid she’ll end up bald
if this continues.
What should you investigate?

A
  1. usual food intake

2. blood test

58
Q

if the patient does not have any protein deficiency or vitamin deficiency but have severe hair loss, the possible reason?

A

Zinc deficiency or patient did not take the prescribed vitamin supplements ( changes to the other one for healthy population), etc

59
Q

symptoms: zinc deficiency

A 
Hair loss (6-9 mons post-op
Dysgeusia
60
Q

intervention: zinc deficiency

A
  • Zinc supplementation: 60 mg elemental BID
  • Monitor plasma zinc in bloodwork
  • Suggest complete multivitamin to patient
61
Q

when suggest complete multivitamin, what should pay attention: 3

A

Palatability, ease of swallowing pills, and cost

62
Q

the 4 common causes of wt regain at post-op

A 
Dietary habits
- Increased calories: sugar and fat
} Grazing: emotional eating
} Not delaying fluids
- Poorly controlled thyroid
- New medications (weight promoting, antidepressants)
- Stopped exercising
63
Q

what is anastomotic leak

A

Most feared surgical complication (fatal)
} Occurs at suture lines
} Gastric contents leak into abdomen

64
Q

NUTR care for in-patient with anastomotic leak

A

} TPN – total parenteral nutrition

65
Q

who don’t prescribe EN for in-patient with anastomotic leak?

A

Bowel needs to be at rest to

encourage the healing process.
