1. Restrictive 2. Malabsorptive 3. Restrictive and Malabsorptive
28
Restrictive
Creating a smaller pouch or space to decrease food intake
29
Malabsorptive
Bypassing the portions of the small intestines which can decrease the absorption of vitamins and nutrients ** Must take supplements after surgery
30
Criteria for Bariatric Surgery
1. BMI of 40 or greater 2. 100 pounds overweight 3. Can be considered for surgery with a BMI of 35 or greater with comorbidities related to obesity
31
Screening for Surgery
1. Obese for 5 or more years 2. Understand its a major lifestyle change 3. Me committed 4. Meet with dietitian 5. Psych evaluation
32
Exclusions for Bariatric Surgery
1. Current drug or alcohol abuse 2. Reversible endocrine disorder that causes obesity 3. Uncontrolled, severe psychiatric illness 4. Lack of comprehension of risks, benefits, expected outcomes, alternatives, and lifestyle changes required with surgery
33
Bariatric Surgery Options
1. Lap Band or gastric banding 2. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass 3. Sleeve gastrectomy
34
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Restrictive and Malabsorptive - Creates a small stomach pouch (about 30 mL or less) by stapling off part of the stomach and making a small stoma that is reattached at the jejunum bypassing parts of the small intestines
35
Risks of Roux-en-Y
1. Staple dehiscence 2. Dumping Syndrome 3. Abdominal compartment syndrome 4. Bleeding 5. Sepsis 6. DVT / PE 7. Delayed wound healing 8. Wound dehiscence
36
Lap Band
- Restrictive - Inflatable silicone band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach creating a narrowing between the upper and lower stomach - Band is connected to a port placed under the subcutaneous tissue. The band contains a balloon that can be inflated or deflated by using the port to inject saline or remove saline
37
Risks for Lap Band
1. Bleeding 2. Infection 3. Leakage 4. Slipping 5. Erosion-foreign body 6. Necrosis
38
Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Restrictive - Reduces the size of the stomach by removing a large portion of the stomach by stapling - No problem with dumping syndrome or absorption because intestines are not bypassed - Can have leakage
39
Dumping Syndrome Treatment
1. 6 small meals a day 2. Avoid simple sugars 3. Decrease carbohydrate intake 4. Increase dietary fiber 5. Avoid dairy products 6. Limit fluid intake with meals
40
General Patient Education for Bariatric Surgery
1. Outpatient or overnight stay 2. Prepare patient for IV, urinary catheter 3. TCDB / Incentive spirometry 4. Risk for DVT/PE 5. Wound drain (possible) 6. Quit smoking prior to surgery 7. Pain management 8. No tablets-all meds in liquid form 9. Will only be able to intake 15-30 mL at a time 10. Nausea common 11. Upper GI with contrast to rule out leakage following surgery 12. Vitamin and protein supplements 13. Early ambulation - Physical Activity: walking 20-30 minutes a day 14. Permanent diet modifications - Liquid diet for about 2 weeks with no sugar, then progress to puree, soft, and then solid
41
Why should a patient quit smoking before bariatric surgery?
- Decreases wound healing time * * Smoking increases risk for DVT / PE * * Smoking increases the risk of infection
42
Pain Management for Bariatric Surgery
1. May have a PCA 2. Splint abdomen 3. Liquid oral medications
43
Leakage Symptoms
1. Abdomen pain radiating to shoulders 2. Restlessness 3. Tachycardia 4. Fever 5. Hypotension * * Call MD!!!
44
Short Term Complications of Bariatric Surgery
1. Bleeding 2. DVT / PE 3. Leakage 4. GERD 5. Dehydration 6. Fluid imbalances
45
Long Term Complications of Bariatric Surgery
1. Vitamin deficiencies 2. Nutritional deficiencies 3. May require life time supplements of vitamins and protein
46
Post-Op Skin Care
1. Must bathe 2. Abdominal binder to decrease wound dehiscence 3. Risk for tissue ischemia and pressure ulcers 4. Shear injuries 5. Make sure not lying on drains or catheters which can burrow in the skin 6. Redness, rash under skin folds - Can use antifungal powder (wound heals slower if in skin folds)
47
Follow-Ups after Bariatric Surgery
1. Diet progression 2. Adequate hydration 3. Medications: anti-hypertensive, insulin, oral anti-diabetic, analgesics 4. Exercise plan 5. Continue psychological support
