I do believe um it's, it's not. Uh, we say, we often say it's not all about the weight, um, but it, it is about the weight, and I think that when we can get them to these, to the lower BMIs, perhaps by operating, uh, uh, earlier after the diagnosis of severe obesity, uh, the better they're gonna be long term.

Adolescent Bariatric Surgery: Pediatric Obesity 2017

Quotation We certainly know what drives our thinking about pediatric obesity treatment um from the standpoint of, of aggressive treatment like surgery, and it's classically been described as, uh, as clinically severe obesity, where obesity is actually causing um uh some um health consequences or behavioral consequences, uh, impairments in quality of life for um teenagers. Open
Statement FAS-5 study achieved 81% participation (58 of 74 eligible) at 8-year follow-up, mostly with in-person research visits. Open
Quotation We were really happy to see 81% back. Open
Statement At 8-year mean follow-up, gastric bypass patients had a mean BMI decline of 29%. Open
Quotation What we see on average at eight years is a BMI decline of, of 29%. Open
Statement Baseline BMI strongly correlates (R=0.75) with follow-up BMI: patients starting with BMI in the 60s end above 40, while those starting in the 40s reach near-normal BMI. Open
Statement Remission rates at 8 years: 88% for diabetes, 64% for dyslipidemia, 75% for hypertension. Open
Statement Among those without baseline comorbidities, incidence rates were 0% for diabetes, 50% for dyslipidemia (small denominator), and 3 of 29 developed hypertension. Open
Statement Follow-up BMI predicts probability of hypertension, dyslipidemia, high CRP, high insulin, insulin resistance, and low HDL; higher residual BMI is metabolically harmful. Open
Quotation We see that there's a definite relationship. So where the BMI ended up matters. Open
Quotation Does it really matter? Are, is everything gonna be, you know, peaches and cream or gravy or the bad examples, but uh uh uh bad things. But uh is everything gonna be good with your health, um, now that you've had surgery, no matter what your BMI? And the answer to that seems to be no. Open
Statement At 8 years, FAS-5 cohort showed low iron stores with anemia, elevated PTH, and low vitamin D in substantial numbers. Open
Statement AMOS had high internal hernia rates due to unclosed mesenteric defects at laparoscopic gastric bypass; closing defects prevents this complication. Open
Quotation I think that, uh, we have, uh, uh, been Teaching for some time that these defects have to be closed or they will lead to uh internal hernias and incarceration and uh general misery. Open
Statement Teen Labs enrolled 242 adolescents (161 bypass, 67 sleeve, 14 band) at 5 centers; median age now 24, with 203 completing 5-year visits (72% in-clinic, 17% field). Open
Statement Adding 33 sleeve gastrectomy patients to Teen Labs will provide 80% power to compare bypass vs. sleeve for outcomes including blood pressure, PTH, HDL, and BMI. Open
Statement The 33 new sleeve patients can be enrolled within a year from consortium sites with ongoing clinical follow-up, enabling long-term comparisons. Open
Statement Operating earlier after diagnosis of severe obesity may yield lower residual BMI and better long-term metabolic outcomes. Open
Quotation I do believe um it's, it's not. Uh, we say, we often say it's not all about the weight, um, but it, it is about the weight, and I think that when we can get them to these, to the lower BMIs, perhaps by operating, uh, uh, earlier after the diagnosis of severe obesity, uh, the better they're gonna be long term. Open
Statement FAS-5 study had a residual mean BMI of 38 at 8 years, with many patients remaining severely obese; this residual obesity is metabolically harmful. Open
Statement Severely obese patients have greater bone mineral density due to loading; rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery drops bone mass, raising the question of whether it stabilizes or continues to decline (bariatric bone disease). Open

Statement About half of teenagers presenting for bariatric surgery have had a parent who underwent weight loss surgery. Open
Quotation there's also an endoscopic gastric placation experience where you try to essentially create a small stomach like a sleeve gastrectomy, but doing an endoluminal placation Open
Statement Intragastric balloons and endoscopic gastric plication are less invasive approaches with moderate adult experience and some adolescent cases; outcomes are still being evaluated. Open

Quotation We've all seen patients that come to us with it, they're already out, maybe even their gallbladder out, and nobody has arrived at the right diagnosis. Open
Statement Patients with slipping rib syndrome often undergo multiple colonoscopies, CTs, and ultrasounds before diagnosis. Open
Statement The usual approach for patients with slipping rib syndrome is to refer them to chronic pain for evaluation and intercostal block with steroid and long-acting local anesthetic. Open

Thomas Inge, MD - 2024 Pediatric Bariatric Surgery Update Course

Quotation I think as pediatric surgeons, we learned a long time ago, uh, when our, in our training and, and throughout all of our careers, what we do for patients in a very critical period of their lives, whether they're neonates, uh, prematures, For older kids or teenagers, as we have an opportunity to intervene and do a really good care, uh, including surgical operations that have a lifetime consequence. Open
Statement In the Children's Hospital Association database from 2010 to 2022, sleeve gastrectomy has become the dominant procedure with very few bypasses performed by 2022. Open
Quotation Early on when we first proposed um a longitudinal study to look at bariatric surgery, we had to sell it to NIH with a, with a punchline. And what we did is we proposed that early intervention for um ser serious weight uh problems in youth um would be a better outcome, surgical, uh, would be a better outcome in youth than waiting until adulthood. Open
Statement The Teen-LABS study recruited 242 subjects who underwent surgery, with 219 still active and retention rate of approximately 85%. Open
Statement Weight loss after gastric bypass is equivalent in teenagers and adults at approximately 26-29% at 5 years. Open
Statement At 5 years post-gastric bypass, 86% of teenagers achieved diabetes remission compared to only 53% of adults. Open
Statement At 5 years post-gastric bypass, teenagers had 68% hypertension remission rate compared to 41% in adults. Open
Statement At 10 years post-surgery in Teen-LABS, average BMI reduction was 21% with nadir of 33% at 1 year, showing very gentle weight regain over time. Open
Statement Latent class modeling at 10 years identified distinct outcome groups: approximately 11% gained weight, approximately 20% achieved 44% weight loss, with others falling in between, demonstrating significant heterogeneity. Open
Quotation the holy grail for bariatric surgery has always been how do you predict early on or preoperatively, how do you predict which of these groups you're gonna end up in? And I'd, I'd like to say that we have the answer but we're still working hard on that one. Open
Statement The pharmacokinetics of alcohol are much faster after gastric bypass and probably sleeve gastrectomy, with alcohol hitting the system more rapidly. Open
Statement By 8 years post-surgery, a minority of Teen-LABS patients had not experienced alcohol use, with most having some experience. Open
Quotation we didn't have a um a severely obese uh group that was like, you know, identically matched and had all of our measures. Um, we're at a little bit of a loss to know what would have happened to the group that is the appropriate control. Open
Statement The cumulative incidence of alcohol-related problems approaches half of patients by 8.5 years post-surgery in both sleeve and bypass groups. Open
Statement Normative controls adopt alcohol use earlier and at higher frequency than Teen-LABS patients based on previously published data. Open
Statement There were 14 deaths in the Teen-LABS cohort, with the first death occurring at 3.3 years post-surgery and others occurring at 7, 10, and 14 years post-surgery. Open
Quotation a lot of these patients that died over the years, and first of all, um, the, the first death was at 3.3 years. So these are, are not evidence of a lot of perioperative complications if you will, um. That were, were uh mortal complications. These are, uh, 3 years out, you know, as you see, 7 years out, 10 years out, 14 years out. Open
Quotation I'm really proud of our team, our research team that collected this data very rigorously and you can only have this kind of data if you have, you know, a very high proportion of your cohort that's still, you know, coming in for the regular visits or in touch with the coordinators. Open
Statement A number of the deaths in Teen-LABS were associated with multi-substance use, though this data is not yet published. Open
Quotation there is uh there are a number of these that did have multi-substance uh use um associated with the death and this is not published yet but it is something that we're following up on um by doing some more detailed digging on, you know, what are the circumstances, uh, surrounding the deaths and I think this is a story that has to be Told. Open
Quotation I like to be able to go to the operating room and cure, uh, cure obesity as well as type 2 diabetes. Open
Statement For sleeve gastrectomy, an anatomy-based approach is recommended to prevent reflux by avoiding leaving a pouch at the top and avoiding a dumbbell-shaped stomach. Open
Quotation I think what happens in the operating room, the magic that's there with the capable hands of, of the surgeons is critically important for the long term. Open
Statement Patients must take vitamins like medicines rather than supplements, which should be emphasized preoperatively and postoperatively to prevent micronutrient deficiencies. Open
Statement Meg Zeller recruited approximately 81 severely obese teenagers (not as obese as Teen-LABS subjects) who did not have surgery, and preliminary comparison suggests the mortality signal may be related to severe adolescent obesity itself rather than surgery. Open
Quotation a little. a peace of mind that it might not be a signal around surgery, but it's a signal around the disease of severe obesity in teenage years that leads to earlier death Open
Quotation I think the rescue that we're trying to give them for better quality of life for those years that they have can't be underestimated though. Open
