The Obesity Algorithm project has never received industry funding The authors have never received payment for their contributionsObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
Slide8Intent of UseThe Obesity Algorithm is intended to be a “living document” updated once a year (as needed). It is intended to be an educational tool used to translate the current medical science and the experiences of obesity specialists to better facilitate and improve the clinical care and management of patients with overweight and obesity.
This algorithm
is not
intended to be interpreted as “rules” and/or directives regarding the medical care of an individual patient.While the hope is many clinicians may find this algorithm helpful, the final decision regarding the optimal care of the patient with overweight and obesity is dependent upon the individual clinical presentation and the judgment of the clinician who is tasked with directing a treatment plan that is in the best interest of the patient.The Obesity Algorithm is listed by the American Board of Obesity Medicine as a suggested resource and study-aid for the obesity medicine certification exam.

Slide12Obesity Defined as a Disease
Slide13The Obesity Medicine Association’s Definition of Obesity“Obesity is defined as a chronic, relapsing, multi-factorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences.”
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
Reference/s: [1]
Slide14Obesity Is a Disease When…The patient has excessive body fat, as assessed by reliable measures
Excessive body fat is caused by genetic or developmental errors, infections, hypothalamic injury, adverse reactions to medications, nutritional imbalance, and/or unfavorable environmental factors
Multiple pathogenic adipocyte and/or adipose tissue endocrine and immune dysfunctions contribute to metabolic disease (adiposopathy or “sick fat” disease)
Multiple pathogenic physical forces from excessive body fat cause stress damage to other body tissues (fat mass disease)The adverse health consequences of increased body fat are not simply “co-morbidities” or “associated risk factors”
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
Reference/s: [1]
Slide15Obesity PrevalenceIn 2015 – 2016, the prevalence of obesity is estimated to be ~ 40% in US adults, and 18.5% of youths
The prevalence of obesity is higher among non-Hispanic black and Hispanic adults than among non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic Asian adults and youth
At least since 1999, the trend towards an increase in prevalence in obesity continues to increase among adults and youths
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.Reference/s: [2]
Slide16Obesity Terminology
“People-first”
language recognizes the potential hazards of referring to or labeling individuals by their disease. Thus,
“patient who is overweight or has obesity” or “patient with overweight or obesity” are preferred over “obese patient.” This is similar to the standard with other diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, wherein “patient with diabetes” is preferred over “diabetic patient.”Encouraged TermsWeight

Slide31Obesity: Epigenetic Etiology/CausesEpigenetics: Alterations in gene expression without alteration in the genetic code
Pre-pregnancy
Pre-conception paternal or maternal overweight/obesity may influence epigenetic signaling during subsequent pregnancy:
Increased risk of overweight/obesity in offspringIncreased risk of other diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, etc.) in offspring PregnancyEspecially in the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus, unhealthy maternal nutrition in women who are pregnant and overweight or with obesity may increase placental nutrient transfer to fetal circulation:GlucoseLipids and fatty acidsAmino acidsIncreased maternal nutrient transport may alter fetal gene expression:
Covalent modifications of deoxynucleic acid and chromatin
May impact stem cell fate
May alter postnatal biologic processes involved in substrate metabolism
May increase offspring predisposition to overweight/obesity and other diseases
Post-pregnancy
Adverse effects of epigenetic pathologies may help account for generational obesity
Improvement in generational obesity in offspring will likely require generational change in
nutrition and physical activity in prior generations of parents

Commonly used
Reasonably reproducible
Low costAdequate measure for epidemiological studiesAdequate screening metric for most patientsDisadvantagesMay not correlate with metabolic and fat mass diseases in an individual patientDoes not account for muscle massMay over-diagnose obesity in muscular individuals, under-diagnose patients with sarcopeniaBMI cut-off points do not distinguish between men and women, nor ethnic and racial considerations Should be used as part of the clinical evaluation, and not the sole measure
of obesity for all patients

Slide42Percent Body FatAdvantagesMore specific assessment of body fat
May be a reasonable longitudinal measure, especially in patients who may not be losing weight, but engaged in resistance exercise training, and thus may be losing body fat, and increasing muscle
Disadvantages
Some measurement techniques are not always accurate, nor easily reproducible (i.e., single site skinfold calipers)Electronic body fat measurements may be expensive, and as with calipers, the accuracy and reproducibility is dependent upon the equipment and software, as well as the expertise of the technicianCut-off points not validated to correlate to metabolic diseaseObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.

Slide43Waist CircumferenceAdvantages Well-correlated to metabolic disease

Reference/s: [24] [25] [26]
Slide44Which Is the “Best” Measure of Obesity?Population AssessmentBody mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and percent body fat (%BF) similarly correlate with prevalence of metabolic syndrome
Individual Assessment
BMI is a reasonable initial screening measurement for most patients
WC provides additional information regarding adipose tissue function/dysfunction and predisposition to metabolic disease among individuals with BMI<35 kg/m2%BF may be more useful in patients with extremes in muscle mass (i.e., individuals with sarcopenia or substantial increases in muscle mass), and thus may be a more accurate measure of body composition when assessing the efficacy of interventions directed towards change in muscle massObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.

SAT is ~80% of total fat mass
Majority of adipose tissue-derived systemic free fatty acids originate from SAT, with extrahepatic lipotoxicity potentially contributing to insulin resistance in muscle
Majority of adipose tissue-derived free fatty acids in the portal system originate in SAT (not VAT), with lipotoxicity potentially contributing to insulin resistance in the liver

Individual responsibility can encompass both “blame” and “accountability”
“Blame” often goes beyond assigning responsibility and often leads to condemnation and accusations, with the intent to elicit guilt

Promoting accountability is a critical component towards modifying behavior
A lack of acknowledging individual responsibility may invite counterarguments and reduce feelings of empathy by others

Cadaver analysis
is the only true “gold standard” for body composition assessment
Body weight or body mass index are not direct measures of body compositionSkinfold calipers can be used to estimate proportion of body fat
Hydrodensitometry (underwater weighing)
estimates proportion of body fat based upon the Archimedes principle that the buoyant force of a body immersed in fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
Lean tissues (bone and muscle) are more dense than water, and a person with more muscle will weigh more underwater
Fat is less dense than water, and a person with more body fat will weigh less underwater

can measure both body fat and bone-mineral densityLow risk of radiation exposure, ~5% of standard chest X-rayGreatest accuracy and consistency achieved with appropriate user training, same machine, standard operating procedures, and routine calibration
Waist circumference and metabolic risk best correlates to total abdominal fat (intraperitoneal / visceral adipose tissue + abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue)
DXA
can measure abdominal visceral fat (intraabdominal fat around body organs) and android fat (total abdominal fat = visceral adipose tissue + abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue)
Android fat may often be ~ 7 pounds, with >= 3 pounds often associated with being overweight
Visceral fat may often be ~ 3 pounds in men and ~ 2 pounds in women
Best to have minimal visceral fat, such as <= 1 pound in men, and <= 0.5 pounds in women. Values above these are often associated with being overweight

Many
DXA
assessments of muscle have values without “normal ranges”Lean body mass and fat composition are widely variable between individuals based upon genetics, gender, race, age, nutrition and physical activityIn general, lean body mass is 75% of total body mass (40% muscle, 10% bone, and 25% organs)
Fat may be around 25% of total body mass, although percent body fat may be as high as > 70%
While variable among individuals and not intended to represent absolute values:
Mean fat-free lean mass of men athletes can be approximately 130 pounds
Mean fat-free lean mass of women athletes can be approximately 110 pounds

Many BIA analyses assume fat-free mass has a constant proportion of water (~70%)Preparation: remove all metal, eliminate body waste prior to procedure, and avoid exercise causing sweat eight hours before, avoid large amounts of caffeine or alcohol 12 hours before
While often considered a two-compartment model (fat versus fat-free mass), the assumption that total body water is a constant proportion of fat-free mass may allow estimation of more compartments (e.g., fat-free mass, fat mass, and total body water)

Increasing the number of steps taken per day can be achieved by altering daily activity, or by increasing walking/running.
Compared to being seated for hours (such as in the workplace), it is better to walk around at least 10 minutes per hour.Take stairs instead of elevators; park further from your destination, etc.Monitor number of steps per day via a pedometer:
The number of steps recorded by different pedometers can vary
< 5000 steps per day is average number of steps for US adults
< 5000 steps per day is sedentary
5000-7500 steps per day is low active
7500-10,000 steps per day is somewhat active
~10,000 steps per day is active
Although variable due to a number of factors, in general, one calorie is “burned” for every 20 steps (i.e., 3000 steps / 20 = 150 calories)
10,000 steps per day per week = 3500 calories “burned” = one pound of fat

Slide150CarbohydratesCarbohydrates contain 4 kcal/gramCarbohydrates can serve as a source of energy and as well cellular structural elements such as hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans
Carbohydrates may contain sugars, starch and/or fiber
The digestion and absorption of carbohydrates results in monosaccharide (glucose, fructose, galactose) molecules
Carbohydrates are not an essential macronutrient, as the liver and kidney can synthesize glucoseCalorie deficiency can lead to marasmus (insufficient calories), but there is no known carbohydrate deficiencyUSDA DRI for carbohydrate is 130 grams/dayObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.

Cell membrane structure (phospholipids)
Brain tissue (cerebrosides)
Synthesis of bile acid, cholesterol, vitamin D, steroid hormonesInsulationSeveral fatty acids cannot be made by the body and these “essential” fatty acids must be consumed in the dietFatty acid deficiency can lead to a disease stateUSDA DRI for fat is at least 30 grams/dayReplacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats may reduce cardiovascular disease riskReplacing saturated fats with refined carbohydrates and sugar is not associated with reduced cardiovascular disease riskObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
Fat

Slide152ProteinProtein contains 4 kcal/gram
Protein contains amino acids and serves as the major structural building blocks of the human body: bone, muscle, skin, brain, nucleic acids
Essential amino acids are those which cannot be made by the human body and must be consumed in the diet
Some amino acids can be used as an energy source (converted to glucose or ketones when needed)Protein deficiency can lead to a disease state (Kwashiorkor is sufficient calories but insufficient protein)USDA DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) for protein is 0.8 to 2.0 grams/kg/day depending upon age, gender, physical activity

Slide153Insulin Controls Fat MetabolismInsulin promotes fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis (lipogenesis) and storage, and it inhibits fat breakdown (lipolysis)
Foods that cause a rise in blood glucose, such as sugars, starches, or amino acids will stimulate the secretion of insulin from the pancreas
A diet that lowers the amount of insulin secreted is beneficial for weight loss

Consider the following:
Individual food preferences, eating behaviors, and meal patterns
Cultural background, traditions, and food availabilityTime constraints and financial issuesNutritional knowledge and cooking skillsThe most appropriate nutritional therapy for weight loss should be safe, effective, and one to which the patient can adhere.
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.

Slide158Choosing Nutritional Therapy for ObesityNutritional approaches for weight loss typically focus on the caloric manipulation of the three macronutrients: carbohydrate, fat, or protein
Very low-calorie diets contain less than 800 kcal/day and require close medical supervision for safety reasons
Low calorie diets range from 1200-1800 kcal/day (1200-1500 for women, 1500-1800 for men)
Restricting dietary fat leads to a greater reduction in total and LDL cholesterol, whereas restricting dietary carbohydrate leads to a greater reduction in serum triglycerides and an increase in HDL-cholesterolReduction of carbohydrates can lead to a greater reduction in serum glucose and hemoglobin A1CObesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.

May assist with reducing food cravings
Metabolic Effects
Reduces fasting glucose, insulin and triglycerides Modestly increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levelsMay increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levelsMay modestly reduce blood pressureThe metabolic effects noted above may occur with or without weight lossIn patients with epilepsy, a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (VLCKD) may reduce seizuresLCKD may possibly improve diabetes mellitus complications (i.e., nephropathy)
Risks
May produce carbohydrate cravings within the first few days of implementation, which may be mitigated by adding low-glycemic-index carbohydrate foods
May induce gout flare if history of gout

Slide164Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils were developed because they favorably affected taste in applicable foods and were less expensive than saturated fats from animals (lard)Some early shortenings (fats) were made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed and soybean oil), originally contained 50% trans fats, and were marketed as being a healthier alternative to animal fat, because they were derived from “vegetables”
Although it contains partially hydrogenated palm and soybean oils, common shortenings now contain minimal trans fats, soybean oil, fully hydrogenated palm oil (i.e., 3 grams saturated fats, 6 grams polyunsaturated fats, 2.5 monounsaturated fats)
Trans fats may increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, reduce high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction and stroke), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and certain cancers
While the FDA has banned partially hydrogenated oil by 2018, trans fats can still be found in some cakes, pies, cookies (especially with frosting), biscuits, microwavable breakfasts, stick margarine, crackers, microwave popcorn, cream-filled candies, doughnuts, fried fast foods, and frozen pizzaConjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring trans fat derived from ruminants (fermentation of plant-based foods via microbes in the stomach prior to digestion) which is not proven to be detrimental to health; conjugated trans linkages are not included as trans fats for nutritional regulations and food labeling
Trans fats are created through a process of artificially hydrogenating polyunsaturated fats (vegetable oils) into more saturated fats, allowing for higher melting temperatures more desirable for processed foods, cooking and frying.

Slide167The Atkins Diet is illustrative of a carbohydrate-restricted nutritional intervention which promotes utilization of fat for energy and generates ketosis, which may reduce appetite.
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
Encouraged
The induction phase allows no more than 20 grams of carbohydrate per day from non-starchy vegetables and leafy greens; encourages adequate proteins from foods such as beef, pork, bacon, fish, chicken, eggs, and cheese, to reduce insulin levels and generate ketosis.
The ongoing weight loss phase
allows a wider variety of vegetables, seeds and nuts, and low-glycemic fruits (i.e., strawberries and blueberries).
The pre-maintenance phase
, after the goal weight is achieved, allows carbohydrate intake to be slowly increased as long as weight gain does not occur.
In the maintenance phase,
60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per day is allowed, which may allow legumes, whole grains, and fruits.
All phases encourage a balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Therapeutic paradox is analogous to “reverse psychology,” wherein the clinician makes a statement seemingly in support of no change in hopes the patient will make an argument for change
“It sounds like now is not the best time for you to make changes.”
“You seem to be saying you have a lot going on right now that keeps you from making changes, so what do you think is the best way for us to move forward at this time?”

Amplified reflection: “People worry too much about your weight; your current body weight is not really a problem.”Double-sided reflection: “You had previously suggested you were committed to weight loss, but now you no longer feel commitment is necessary.”Shifting Focus“Your conflict with your contractor is obviously stressful to you, but you are a bit ahead of me; I would like for us to go back and talk about what led to your entries in your diet diary.”Reframing “I get the sense that when your family expresses concern about your body weight, they do so in a way that makes you angry. Maybe their intent is not to frustrate you but rather meant to reflect how much they care for you.”

Slide196Motivational Questioning: General Approach ExamplesOpen-ended Questions
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me why are you here today?”
(Incorporates permission.)
“What do you hope we can accomplish today?”“What do you realistically think we can accomplish today?”Reflective Listening“From what you are telling me, it sounds like you (or your family/friends) want you to lose weight, but you…”“ . . . have concerns.”“ . . . are unsure how.”“ . . . are unsure if you need to.”“ . . . are unsure if you want to.”“ . . . are unsure if you can.”“ . . . are unsure if you are committed to change.”
Normalizing
“While no situation is the same, in general, many people often have problems losing weight.”
“Many people feel like you: they want to lose weight but find it difficult.”
“Many people have repeatedly tried to lose weight in the past before they were finally successful.”

Slide215Why Do People Regain Body Weight?
Physiologic Priority Imbalance
Neuro-biologic processes strongly resist starvation
Neuro-biologic processes weakly resist over-nutritionAnalogous example:Hypoglycemia can be profoundly symptomatic and may promote physiologic and behavioral priority for immediate caloric intakeHyperglycemia is often asymptomatic and rarely promotes physiologic and behavioral priority for immediate reduced caloric intake
Neurobiology
Weight loss may decrease neuroendocrine factors, which in turn may increase appetite
Leptin
Insulin
Cholecystokinin
Peptide YY
Weight loss may increase ghrelin, which in turn may increase appetite
To the extent that within the central nervous system, insulin and leptin “resistance” limits appetite reduction and negative caloric balance, an increase in physical activity may increase the brain’s sensitivity to insulin and leptin.
A lack of maintaining routine physical activity after weight loss may contribute to body fat regain

Slide240Naltrexone HCl/Bupropion HCL Extended ReleasePotential Drug Interactions
Should not be administered with opioids due to naltrexone component, which is an opioid receptor antagonist
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors: Increased risk of hypertensive reactions
Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6: Bupropion inhibits CYP2D6 and can increase concentrations of: Antidepressants (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and many tricyclics) Antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol, risperidone, and thioridazine) Beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol) Type 1C antiarrhythmics (e.g., propafenone and flecainide)CYP2B6 inhibitors (e.g., ticlopidine or clopidogrel) can increase bupropion exposure. Do not exceed one tablet twice daily when taken with CYP2B6 inhibitors.CYP2B6 inducers (e.g., ritonavir, lopinavir, efavirenz, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin) may reduce efficacy by reducing bupropion exposure. Avoid concomitant use.Should be dosed with caution with drugs that lower seizure threshold
CNS toxicity can occur when used concomitantly with dopaminergic drugs (e.g., levodopa and amantadine)
Drug laboratory test interactions:
Can cause false positive urine test results for amphetamines

Slide244Liraglutide*Indications and UseLiraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist
Drug Enforcement Agency Schedule: Not a scheduled drug
Solution for subcutaneous injection, pre-filled, multi-dose pen that delivers doses of 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, 2.4 mg, or 3 mg
Inject subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm; the injection site and timing can be changed without dose adjustmentThe lower dose of liraglutide 1.8 mg per day is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The recommended dose of liraglutide for treatment of obesity is 3 mg daily, any time of day, without regard to the timing of mealsDosing:Week 1 = 0.6 mg per dayWeek 2 = 1.2 mg per dayWeek 3 = 1.8 mg per dayWeek 4 = 2.4 mg per dayWeek 5 and onward = 3.0 mg per day
*Liraglutide for obesity was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. While optional and not required prior to prescribing Liraglutide for obesity, the manufacturer provides a communication plan, implemented towards healthcare providers likely to prescribe Liraglutide for obesity. The goal is to inform healthcare providers about the potential risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma and the risk of acute pancreatitis (including necrotizing pancreatitis) associated with Liraglutide for obesity.
*
Evaluate the change in body weight after 16 weeks and discontinue Liraglutide for obesity if the patient has not lost at least 4% of baseline body weight since it is unlikely that the patient will achieve and sustain clinically meaningful weight loss with continued treatment.

Slide245LiraglutidePotential Drug InteractionsLiraglutide delays gastric emptying. This may impact absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications.
Liraglutide has low potential for pharmacokinetic drug-to-drug interactions related to cytochrome P450 and plasma-protein binding
Pharmacokinetics
Unlike native GLP-1, liraglutide is stable against metabolic degradation by both neutral endopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV and has a plasma half-life of 13 hours after subcutaneous administrationLiraglutide exposures are similar among three subcutaneous injection sites (upper arm, abdomen, and thigh); absolute bioavailability of liraglutide following subcutaneous administration is approximately 55 percent Liraglutide is endogenously metabolized similar to large proteins without a specific organ as a major route of eliminationFollowing a [3H]-liraglutide dose, intact liraglutide is not detected in urine or feces, with only a minor part excreted as liraglutide-related metabolites in urine or feces (6 percent and 5 percent, respectively)

Slide247LiraglutideWarnings Prescribing information boxed warning:
Liraglutide causes dose-dependent and treatment-duration-dependent thyroid C-cell tumors at clinically relevant exposures in both genders of rats and mice. It is unknown whether liraglutide causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (
MTC
), in humans, as the human relevance of liraglutide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined. Liraglutide is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC and in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC with use of liraglutide and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (eg, a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness). Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients treated with liraglutide.Discontinue promptly if pancreatitis is suspected; do not restart if pancreatitis is confirmed If cholelithiasis or cholecystitis are suspected, gallbladder studies are indicatedSerious hypoglycemia can occur when liraglutide is used with an insulin secretagogue (i.e., a sulfonylurea)
Consider lowering the dose of anti-diabetes drugs to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia
Monitor heart rate at regular intervals to evaluate for possible heart rate increase
Renal impairment has been reported post-marketing, usually in association with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration, which may sometimes require hemodialysis
Use caution when initiating or escalating doses of liraglutide in patients with renal impairment
Post-marketing reports exist regarding serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylactic reactions and angioedema)
If these occur, then liraglutide and other suspect medications should be discontinued, and the
patient instructed to promptly seek medical advice
Monitor for depression or suicidal thoughts and discontinue liraglutide if symptoms develop

Slide249Potential for Publication BiasPotential publication biasClinicians should be cautious of the published literature regarding supplements or other therapies (including drugs), when the only available evidence is via infrequent, and/or small studies.
The disproportionate publication of positive or significant results compared to negative or non-significant results potentially compromises the objectivity of literature review and meta-analyses.
Negative or non-significant study results may not be submitted for publication, are often less likely to be accepted by journals for publication, and potentially less likely to be cited by other journals and the media compared to studies with positive results

Position Statement: Recommendations for Dietary Supplements Sold as Medicinal or Curative for Obesity*
Healthcare providers should:
Be aware of the lack of credible evidence for efficacy and safety of many supplements promoted for the purpose of weight loss.Query patients who desire to accomplish weight loss regarding their use of dietary supplements for this purpose.Advise patients who desire to accomplish weight loss of the limited evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of many supplements and the lack of oversight by government agencies regarding the claims made about such supplements
Be educated on the
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)
and the
roles of FDA and FTC
in safety and claims monitoring of supplements promoted for the purpose of weight loss.
Healthcare providers are strongly discouraged from engaging in entrepreneurial activities in which they directly profit from the prescribing of non-FDA approved weight-loss remedies where both safety and efficacy have not been proven.

In 2016, the American Medical Association passed policy that
“The use of HCG for weight loss is inappropriate.”

Slide281Excess Weight Loss
Obesity Algorithm®. ©2017-2018 Obesity Medicine Association.
“Excess weight loss” is a term, mainly used in the surgical literature, to describe the percent amount of weight lost in excess of ideal body weight
May have variances based upon how ideal body weight is determinedIt is challenging to directly compare “excess weight loss” often described in the surgical literature to the “weight loss” described in the medical literature, which is simply the percent of weight loss from baseline
For the same amount of actual weight loss, the percent “excess weight loss” is often a higher reported value compared to “weight loss”

Bariatric Surgery
Calcium deficiency is rarely reported with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding
Relative calcium deficiency is sometimes reported with gastric sleeve or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, when assessed by elevated parathyroid levels (even if calcium levels are within normal limits) Calcium deficiency can be mitigated with appropriate nutrition and a high-quality multivitamin supplement
Calcium deficiency commonly occurs with biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch
Although calcium levels may not be decreased in all patients with overweight or obesity, vitamin D deficiency may be present
25-hydroxy-(OH)-vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, and parathyroid hormone are often monitored post-operatively
Calcium and vitamin D supplements are commonly administered after bariatric surgeries
Background
Calcium is an essential mineral necessary for proper nerve transmission, muscle contraction, bone structure, and cellular function
Concurrent magnesium deficiency may worsen hypocalcemia by impairing parathyroid hormone secretion (hypomagnesemia may also promote hypokalemia)
Calcium deficiency may result in decreased bone mineralization, osteopenia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism
Severe hypocalcemia can lead to tetany (e.g., muscle contractions, spasms, paresthesias)

Iron deficiency is rarely reported with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding
Iron deficiency can be mitigated with appropriate nutrition and a high-quality multivitamin supplementIron deficiency commonly occurs with gastric sleeve, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch
After bariatric procedures, iron, ferritin, transferrin, and total iron binding capacity are often monitored
Iron supplements are often administered after bariatric surgeries, especially among premenopausal, menstruating women of childbearing potential
Iron and calcium compete for intestinal absorption, and supplements should be scheduled several hours apart
Background
Iron is a trace element and is normally absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum of the intestine
Iron deficiency can result in microcytic anemia (possibly manifested clinically by pica), with low iron levels, low ferritin levels, and increased transferrin or total iron-binding capacity

AssessmentReplacement of DeficiencyVitamin A
Retinol
If
corneal keratinization, ulceration or necrosis: 50-100,000 IU IM for 3 days, followed by IU IM for 2 weeks
If no corneal changes: 10,000 - 25,000 IU orally for 1-2 weeks
Further treatment depends on persistent malabsorptive effects, as may most be a concern with biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Thiamine
If hyperemesis, then 100mg IV
for 7 days, then 50 mg/d until thiamine in normal range
Vitamin B9
(Folate)
Red blood
cell (RBC) folate
If daily multivitamin has
400ug of folic acid, then replacement dose for deficiency is an additional 800 ug/d orally (total of 1200 ug/d of folic acid until RBC folate in normal range), and then a multivitamin with at least 400 ug/d of folic acid
B12
(Cobalamin)
Vitamin B12
A typical dose to treat B12 deficiency 10
00 ug/mo IM, 1000 ug/wk sublingually, or 350-500 ug/d orally until B12 in normal range
Calcium
Calcium
In addition to ensuring adequate vitamin D, calcium deficiency is typically treated with calcium citrate 1200-1800 mg/d. Calcium citrate may be better absorbed than calcium carbonate Calcium should be taken at least 1 hour apart from other supplements, especially iron (which competes for absorption)IronFerritin, iron, total iron binding capacityFor moderate deficiency, menstruating women, or patients at risk for iron deficiency anemia, total elemental iron intake (including in a multivitamin) should be 50-100 mg/dMinimum iron supplementation should be 18 mg/d, which may be more effective with vitamin C supplementation 500 mg/dFor severe deficiency, IV iron is sometimes required, which is provided in multiple different formulations, some of which require test doses.

Vitamin/Mineral
Assessment
Replacement of DeficiencyVitamin D
25-hydroxyl-(OH)-vitamin D
A typical oral dose for mild deficiency of vit. D3 is 3000 IU/d, followed by at least 1000 IU/d after gastric bypass and 2000 IU/d after biliopancreatic
diversion/duodenal switch once normal range vitamin D levels are achieved
For severe deficiency, a single dose of vit. D2 50,000 IU/wk orally until vit. D levels in normal range, then D3 3000 IU if still with substantial malabsorptive signs and symptoms, or if stable with vitamin D values in the normal range, then at least D3 1000 IU/d after gastric bypass and D3 2000 IU/d after biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch
Regarding
formulation, vit. D2 (ergocalciferol) is a form of dietary vit. D found in plants. Vit.D3 (cholecalciferol) is found in foods of animal origin and is similar to the vit. D3 generated when 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin is converted by ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. Both D2 and D3 are reported as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is then converted by the kidneys into the more active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Vit. D3 may be preferred (longer half-life and potentially more potent) than vit. D2. Although the most potent, calcitriol is more rarely used (.25 or .50 mcg/d orally)
Vitamin E
Α
-Tocopherol
A typical dose to treat vitamin E deficiency is 400 to 800 IU/d orally.
Vitamin K
Prothrombin time
If vitamin K deficiency occurs during substantial gastrointestinal
malabsorption, then vitamin K can be replaced 10 mg by slow IV. Otherwise, typical oral replacement dose is 300 ug/d. Continued treatment depends on persistent malabsorptive effects, as may most be a concern with biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch.
Zinc
Zinc
A typical replacement dose for
zinc deficiency is 60 mg of elemental zinc twice daily. Zinc consumption may impair copper absorption, thus 1 mg of copper should be given per each 10 mg of zinc administered. Once zinc is in normal range, if malabsorption remains a risk, a typical supplemental dose is zinc 30 mg/d.
