Morbid obesity increases the risk of complications and allograft failure in transplant patients. Bariatric surgery is both safe and effective in patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, improves eligibility for transplant based on body mass index, and does not affect postoperative immunosuppressant dosing regimens. Bariatric surgery in patients with liver disease has been shown to be safe and effective, although they remain at high risk in the setting of portal hypertension. Sleeve gastrectomy may become increasingly used both pretransplant and posttransplant, as it can result in low complication rates and excellent weight loss, and retains intestinal continuity.

IntroductionCurrently, no prerequisite teaching qualification is required to serve as faculty for SAGES hands-on courses (SAGES-HOC). The Lapco-Train-the-Trainers (Lapco-TT) is a course for surgical trainers, in which delegates learn a standardized teaching technique for skills acquisition. The aims of this study were to 1) determine if this curriculum could be delivered in a day course to SAGES-HOC faculty and 2) assess the impact of such training on learners’ educational experience taught by this faculty at a subsequent SAGES-HOC.Methods and proceduresSix experts attended a one-day Lapco-TT course. SAGES-HOC participants were split into two groups: Group A taught by Lapco-TT trained, and Group B by “untrained” course faculty. Opinion surveys were completed by both the SAGES-HOC learners and the Lapco-TT trained course faculty. Furthermore, the latter underwent self-, learner-, and observer-based evaluation using a previously validated teaching assessment tool (cSTTAR). Mean scores were reported and analyzed [Mann–Whitney U, t test (p < 0.05)].ResultsAll 6 Lapco-TT delegates found the course useful (5), and felt that it would influence the way they taught in the OR (4.83), that their course objectives were met (4.83), and that they would recommend the course to their colleagues (4.83). Of the SAGES-HOC participants, compared to Group B (n = 22), Group A learners(n = 10) better understood what they were supposed to learn (5 vs. 4.15 [p = 0.046]) and do (5 vs. 4 [p = 0.046]), felt that the session was well organized (5 vs. 4 [p = 0.046]), that time was used effectively (5 vs. 3.9 [p = 0.046]), and that performance feedback was sufficient (5 vs. 3.9 [p = 0.028]) and effective (5 vs. 3.95 [p = 0.028]). Group A faculty were rated significantly higher by their learners on the cSTTARs than Group B (p < 0.0005). Group A faculty rated themselves significantly lower than both expert observers (p < 0.0005) and compared to the Group B faculty’s self-assessment (p < 0.002).ConclusionsThe Lapco-TT course can be delivered effectively over one day and impacts the educational experience of learners at a SAGES-HOC. This could help establish a standardized method of teaching at SAGES-HOCs and thereby increase their value for learners.

BACKGROUND Obesity is a significant health problem and additional therapies are needed to improve obesity treatment. OBJECTIVE Determine the efficacy and safety of a 6-month swallowable gas-filled intragastric balloon system for weight loss. SETTING Fifteen academic and private practice centers in the United States. METHODS This was a double-blind, randomized sham-controlled trial of the swallowable gas-filled intragastric balloon system plus lifestyle therapy compared with lifestyle therapy alone for weight loss at 6 months in participants aged 22 to 60 years with body mass index 30 to 40 kg/m2, across 15 sites in the United States. The following endpoints were included: difference in percent total weight loss in treatment group versus control group was >2.1%, and a responder rate of >35% in the treatment group. RESULTS Three hundred eighty-seven patients swallowed at least 1 capsule. Of participants, 93.3% completed all 24 weeks of blinded study testing. Nonserious adverse events occurred in 91.1% of patients, but only .4% were severe. One bleeding ulcer and 1 balloon deflation occurred. In analysis of patients who completed treatment, the treatment and control groups achieved 7.1 ± 5.0% and 3.6 ± 5.1% total weight loss, respectively, and a mean difference of 3.5% (P = .0085). Total weight loss in treatment and control groups were 7.1 ± 5.3 and 3.6 ± 5.1 kg (P < .0001), and body mass index change in the treatment and control groups were 2.5 ± 1.8 and 1.3 ± 1.8 kg/m2 (P < .0001), respectively. The responder rate in the treatment group was 66.7% (P < .0001). Weight loss maintenance in the treatment group was 88.5% at 48 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with lifestyle therapy and the 6-month swallowable gas-filled intragastric balloon system was safe and resulted in twice as much weight loss compared with a sham control, with high weight loss maintenance at 48 weeks.

Given the increasing discussion about BPD-DS and its younger sibling the SADI as one of the options for weight regain after a sleeve gastrectomy, it’s very important to be aware of the potential short-term and long-term complications associated with these operations. Early complications include mortality, infectious complications (wound infections and anastomotic/staple line leaks), venous thromboembolism, bleeding, and early bowel obstruction. Long-term complications include internal hernias, GI malabsorptive symptoms, and nutritional deficiencies. We will briefly discuss these complications and their treatment options.
