Safe Intervention

A comprehensive lifestyle intervention that is effective, yet safe, for weight loss is recommended for weight management. Yoga is one such intervention that includes (1) increased physical activity and (2) suggestions about healthy eating and other behavioral changes. With this, there have been attempts to assess the effectiveness of yoga for weight management. The present review aimed at (1) evaluating studies assessing the effects of yoga on obesity and (2) grade them according to standard grading methods. Twenty-three studies, of which nine were RCTs, were included. The rating of RCTs was between 70.6 and 94.2, which can be considered fairly good. However the present review shows that there are fewer studies with (1) adequate sample sizes, (2) study designs, (3) long term follow up, and (4) adequate reporting of adverse events to conclude that yoga is an effective and safe intervention for weight loss. Hence, further studies with the points described above are required to conclude the safety and efficacy of yoga for weight loss.

Definite Role

A number of experimental studies have been carried out to assess the effectiveness of yoga to manage obesity. This review (1) examined studies assessing the effects of yoga practices on obesity and (2) graded them according to standard grading methods. Fifteen studies were reviewed of which 6 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The six RCTs had a moderately good rating (70.6 to 88.0 percent). Nonetheless this review showed that there are inadequate studies which have adequate sample sizes, rigorous study designs and conduct a long term follow up, to conclude that yoga can play a definite role in weight management. Nonetheless the evidence is encouraging though future studies should be designed more rigorously.

Abstract Purpose Since 2014, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been the most frequently performed bariatric-metabolic operation worldwide (2018: 386,096). There are only a few studies reporting a long-term follow-up (up to 11 years) available today. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of SG with a follow-up of at least 15 years regarding weight loss, remission of associated medical problems (AMP), conversions, and quality of life (QOL). Setting Multicenter cross-sectional study; university hospital. Methods This study includes all patients who had SG before 2005 at the participating bariatric centers. History of weight, AMP, conversions, and QOL were evaluated by interview at our bariatric center. Results Fifty-three patients met the inclusion criteria of a minimal follow-up of 15 years. Weight and body mass index at the time of the SG were 136.8kg and 48.7kg/m2. Twenty-six patients (49.1%) were converted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for weight regain and gastroesophageal reflux within the follow-up period. Total weight loss after 15 years was 31.5% in the non-converted group and 32.9% in the converted group. Remission rates of AMP and QOL were stable over the follow-up period. Conclusion Fifteen years after SG, a stable postoperative weight was observed at the cost of a high conversion rate. Patients converted to RYGB were able to achieve further weight loss and preserve good remission rates of AMP. SG in patients without the need of a conversion to another bariatric-metabolic procedure may be considered effective. Careful preoperative patient selection is mandatory when performing SG.
