Scale of the problem
• 34,000 deaths/year attributable to obesity
• 6.8% of all deaths in England
• 9000 premature (before retirement age)*
• Cost to UK economy of overweight and obesity
• £15.8 bn/yr 2007
• £4.2 bn NHS costs**
• T2DM
• 3.2m people (1:20) in UK
• 10% of NHS budget spent on T2DM
• 1:6 hospital beds, 135 amputations per week
• 24,000 preventable deaths per year

Myths ?
• Obesity is down to poor lifestyle choices driven by will power
• ‘I am thin so why can’t they be’
• ‘No fat people in Ethiopia’
• Surgery expensive method of devolving responsibility for poor behaviour
• Surgery is dangerous and should only be used for extreme cases
• Most patients regret having the operation
• ‘Opens a psychological can of worms’

Prejudice: BBC website comments
‘I have a 21stone relative with a bad heart, and diabetes, who won't diet or exercise or even admit he has a problem. But as he has self induced diabetes he gets free prescriptions. I am 9 stone with rheumatoid arthritis and am penalised by having to pay prescription costs.
He needs therapy not a gastric band. I don't need to pay NI for his sort.’

‘Perfect Storm’ for obesity
• Environmental Changes (obesogenic)
• Altered food supply
• Decreased physical activity
• Stress and distress
• Drugs
• Re-regulate energy balance and increase set point

Defense of a Set point
• Not ‘will power’
• Disordered energy regulation system
• SET POINT
• Diets don’t work (3-6kg 1 yr)
• Surgery only way to reduce set point

Mechanisms of action
• Physiological. Changes in:
• Gut hormones
• Neural Signalling
• Intestinal Flora
• Bile acid and lipid metabolism
• Mechanical
• Changes eating behaviours (dumping, taste changes)

Evidence for physiological mechanisms of surgery
• Dramatic effects on hunger and satiety
• Few patients become underweight
• Transient weight gain in pregnancy
• Little weight loss in thin patients
• Changes in endocrine markers
• Ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, Amylin
• Increased energy expenditure
