Welcome!
We are glad that you have chosen the University of Chicago Medicine and the Center
for the Surgical Treatment of Obesity as your partner to better health and wellness.
Obesity surgery is a powerful tool, but not a cure, for obesity. When used properly,
obesity surgery is the most effective way to achieve sustained weight loss in severely
obese people. On average, people lose 50-80% of their excess body weight as
compared to 10% with a medically-supervised program.
Landmark studies have shown that obesity surgery can lead to significant
improvement and often resolution of diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated
cholesterol, sleep apnea, and acid reflux, as well as significantly improve many other
medical conditions related to obesity.
This partnership includes dietary and lifestyle changes, and the use of nutritional
supplements, as recommended. Lifestyle changes include regular exercise that includes
both aerobic and resistance components to maximize functional outcomes. Following
the recommended vitamin supplementation, adequate protein and nutritional intake is
important to enhance long-term outcomes and minimize the risk of developing a
nutritional deficiency.
It is also important to maintain long-term follow-up so as to identify and treat any
issues or concerns before they become more severe and difficult to manage. This
continued and important partnership with us is the key for success.
§
Obesity surgery is safe — as safe as having your gallbladder removed. Most
patients go home the second day after surgery.
§
Obesity surgery is covered by many insurance payers, both public and private.
Surgery might be the tool you need to help end your struggle with obesity
Best Wishes,
University of Chicago Medicine

What is Obesity?
Obesity is determined by body mass index, which estimates the amount of body fat
based on height and weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
18.5 – 24.9
25 – 29.9
30+
Status
Healthy BMI
Overweight
Obese
You can assess your BMI at http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/index.html.
Obesity is an epidemic, increasing at an alarming rate and affecting more than ⅓ of
adults in the U.S. Obesity can be caused by a variety of genetic, behavioral and
environmental factors. Regardless of the cause, obesity can have devastating
consequences to your health. Obese individuals face a much higher risk of developing
the following conditions:
§ Type 2 diabetes
§ Stroke
§ High blood pressure
§ Cancer
§ Heart disease
§ Death
The conventional method of preventing and treating obesity is generally diet, exercise
and lifestyle modification. Unfortunately, these strategies often don’t work for severely
obese individuals. Bariatric surgery is a viable solution for those who struggle with
obesity and associated medical conditions.
Is Weight Loss Surgery for Me?
Weight loss surgery could be an option for you if:
§ Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher
§ Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 and you have a medical condition linked to obesity, such
as :
o Acid reflux/heartburn
o Hypertension (high blood pressure)
o Cancer
o Hypothyroidism
o Diabetes
o Obstructive sleep apnea
o Fatty liver disease
o Osteoarthritis
o Gout
o Polycystic ovarian syndrome
o Heart disease
o Pseudotumor cerebri
o High cholesterol
o Urinary stress incontinence
Generally, candidates for bariatric surgery must also have participated in a medically
supervised weight loss program. A medically supervised weight loss program is
prescribed by a licensed practitioner, who monitors your progress over several months.
If not, don't worry. We have the resources to get you started in this process.
Last but not least, candidates must be fully committed to changing their life through
bariatric surgery.

Types of Weight Loss Surgery
The University of Chicago Medicine is the only program in the Midwest that offers four
surgical weight loss procedures:
All of our surgeons perform all of these surgeries laparoscopically or minimally
invasively. This means surgery is performed with small cameras and tools through
several small openings across the belly. Patients prefer this approach because of its
many benefits. Those benefits include fewer complications, quicker recovery, less pain,
and better cosmetic results.
Adjustable Gastric Band
•
•
•
•
•
•
An inflatable silicone band is surgically inserted and wrapped
around the top portion of the stomach.
The band is designed to restrict food you consume by making
you feel full faster.
The band can be tightened or loosened by injecting or
withdrawing a safe solution in the office after surgery.
You can lose about 40-50% of your excess body weight.
Banding is the least complex surgery to perform.
Weight loss is less predictable with the band.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
•
•
•
•
•
•
Surgeons remove ¾ of your stomach.
This procedure will make you feel full faster and with smaller
meals.
You can expect to lose approximately 60% of your excess
weight.
There is more consistent weight loss with the sleeve than the
gastric band.
There is also no intestinal rearrangement and are fewer
potential nutritional side effects.
This surgery is irreversible.
5
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
•
•
•
•
•
The gastric bypass is the most common bariatric surgery.
A golf ball-sized portion of the stomach is divided and
reattached to a lower section of the small intestine.
You will feel less hungry and absorb fewer calories and
nutrients.
You could lose 60-75% of your excess body weight.
There is a greater chance of improving or getting rid of your
medical problems, like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Duodenal Switch
•
•
•
•
•
•
Surgeons will remove three-fourths of the stomach and then
rearrange the small intestine and reattach the new stomach.
Food will bypass about half of your intestines, and your body
will absorb less fat and fewer carbohydrates.
This procedure is occasionally done in two stages for safety.
This complex procedure is generally for our most obese
patients (BMI > 50) or those with very severe diabetes.
Patients could lose about 80% of excess body weight.
Nearly all patients can see their diabetes go away.
6
Risks of Weight Loss Surgery
Even though our surgeons can confidently and safely perform these complex
procedures, it is important to note the risks of each procedure and choose the bariatric
procedure that is right for you. Take the time to discuss the risks and rewards, or pros
and cons, of each surgery with your surgeon and how they relate to your circumstance.
Adjustable Gastric Band
•
•
•
•
•
•
Gastric band erosion
Gastric band slippage
Gastritis
Infection in the port
Throwing up from eating more than your new stomach can
hold or from foods that have a tougher or chewier consistency
Inconsistent or inadequate weight loss after gastric banding.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
•
•
•
•
Reflux
Leaking from poor healing of staple lines where the stomach
has been stapled together
Throwing up
Narrowing of stomach
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
•
•
•
•
•
Leakage from poor healing of staple lines
Bowel obstruction
Ulcers and gallstones
Dumping (Ill feeling after eating sugary food)
Nutritional deficiencies
o These conditions can often be prevented with bile salt
supplements, vitamins and mineral intakes.
•
Risks associated with the duodenal switch are similar to the
gastric bypass but are a little more frequent since the surgery
is more complex.
Vitamin and mineral supplementation is important for all the
procedures.
Frequent and malodorous bowel movements
o This can be controlled with diet choices, including reduced
intake of dietary fats.
Duodenal Switch
•
•

Insurance Planning Worksheet
How can I help to make sure I am approved by my insurance company?
This worksheet is intended to help you review your health insurance policy coverage
and benefits for weight loss surgery.
By initiating contact with your insurance company as soon as possible and following the
steps below you can help speed up the approval process. If your insurance does not
cover surgery, we offer a self-pay option.
Have the following information available from your health insurance card when you
contact your insurance company:
§ Patient name
§ Patient date of birth
§ Insurance name
§ Insurance ID number
§ Insurance Group number
§ Subscriber name
§ Subscriber date of birth
§ Subscriber employer
Call the customer/member services phone number listed on the front or back of your
insurance card. Tell the representative that you would like to “check your policy
benefits” and ask the following:
1. Is weight loss surgery for morbid obesity a “covered benefit” of my policy? Listed
below are the operative codes and diagnosis code.
Operative procedure codes:
§
CPT 43770 (Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band)
§
CPT 43775 (Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy)
§
CPT 43644 (Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass)
§
CPT 43659 [or 43775+44238] (Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch)
Diagnosis code (ICD-10) for morbid obesity: E66.01
2. Does this benefit require a medically supervised weight loss program? If yes,
what is the program length?
3. Is a referral from my primary care doctor required?

What to Expect After Surgery
Nutrition
After surgery, the size of your stomach will be reduced. Those patients who undergo the
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass or the Duodenal Switch procedures will experience nutrient
malabsorption, as well; because of this, you will need to make several important dietary
and lifestyle changes. This handout highlights the dietary changes needed after surgery.

o Consume liquids 30 minutes before or after meals
o No carbonated beverages
o Drink 6-8 glasses of low-calorie fluids daily
To prevent nausea and vomiting, do not eat or drink too much.
o Excessive vomiting can cause the band to slip, and
overeating may cause the pouch to stretch, which cancels
the effect of the surgery.
An active lifestyle after surgery is essential to your weight loss
success
o Within 2 months of having surgery, 30 minutes of daily
exercise is recommended
Take vitamins daily, as recommended
It is typical to go back to a liquid diet after every band adjustment

Tips to Increase Your Protein Intake
Everyone will need to take some sort of protein shake after surgery. Look for high
protein/low calorie drinks. There are many flavors and formulations available. If you
don’t like the first one you try, don’t worry. You’ll find one that suits your needs.
§
§
§
§
Double-strengthen your milk (add 2½-3 tablespoons of non-fat powdered milk per 1
cup milk).
If you have lactose intolerance, try Lactaid ®, Dairy Ease ®, or Fairlife Milk ® which
contains enzymes to help digest your milk. You may also try soy or hemp milk.
Add PB2, non-fat powdered milk or a protein supplement of your choice to any liquid
or pureed food (cottage cheese, soup, yogurt, hot cereal
Sip on a protein drink between meals.
Recommended Beverages
Carbonated beverages are not acceptable, as they may stretch the pouch, cause
feelings of over-fullness, and may lead to vomiting.
§
§
§
§
§
Water
Low-fat Milk or 2% Milk or Fairlife Milk ®
Crystal Light ®, or iced tea sweetened with Stevia in the Raw ® or Monk fruit in the
Raw ® or other sugar substitute
Hot tea or coffee unsweetened or natural sweetened with a sugar substitute
Vitamin Water Zero or Powerade Zero
Once you’re in the maintenance phase, it is very important you maintain a healthy diet.
Your everyday diet should be high in quality protein and vegetables, moderate in
complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, and low in simple carbohydrates, unhealthy
fats and processed foods. Remember, you will also need vitamin supplements to
compensate for the loss of nutrients, especially after the duodenal switch and gastric
bypass.
Exercise
Within six weeks of surgery, you should exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. You
should do aerobic or cardio workouts, which are any workout that increases your heart
rate like brisk walking, jogging or swimming. You should also begin strength and
resistance training, like body weight exercises and stretching. It is important to find
activities that you enjoy and that allow you to see your progress and improvement.
16
Supportive Resources
PREP Group: The Preoperative Readiness Education Program (PREP) group is a onetime skills group. The purpose of this group is to discuss ways to successfully maintain
long-term weight loss. A combination of activities and lecture will be given in this 3-hour
group. Additional registration information will be provided to you after your evaluation in
our program.
Support Group: The support group meets the first Tuesday of the month in the Center
for Care and Discovery, 5700 S. Maryland Avenue, 7th floor, Room 7750 from 5:00 to
6:30 p.m. This group is for both pre-surgical surgery candidates and post-surgical
patients. There is no registration for this group. We look forward to seeing you there!

What Makes A Good Support Person?
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
Someone who is willing to make the commitment and be available.
Someone who listens, but doesn’t judge you.
Someone who is present before, during, and after surgery.
Someone with whom you feel comfortable communicating your needs and
feelings.
Someone with whom you will not feel embarrassed to help you with your care.
Someone who is positive about the surgery.
Someone who will be a motivator.
Someone who can make your meals and encourage you to eat properly.
Someone who is available to attend the meetings.
Someone who is knowledgeable about the surgery.
Someone who facilitates change and accepts the changes in you.
Information for Support Providers
Agreeing to serve as a support person for someone undergoing bariatric surgery is a
substantial and important commitment. Support providers serve as motivators,
cheerleaders, and friends for patients. Your role is to be an advocate for the patient’s
health. Sometimes this may mean sitting with the patient and being a good listener.
Sometimes this may mean encouraging the patient to walk when she or he doesn’t feel
like it. Be supportive, positive, and understanding.
Assisting the patient in the following treatment guidelines:
§ Encourage the patient to eat at regular intervals even when the patient isn’t
hungry. This is necessary to promote healing post-surgery. This may be difficult
to do since the patient has a loss of appetite following surgery.
§ Help puree meals or ensure that acceptable food is available.
§ Assist the patient in consuming 60 to 80 grams of protein a day.
§ Encourage the patient to walk and move around. Even though patients may feel
discomfort after surgery, physical activity is necessary in order to avoid postsurgery complications, to promote healing and weight loss.
§ Aid in getting the patient to attend all follow-up appointments.
Provide emotional support and be a positive influence on the patient:
§ After surgery, recovery can be difficult. Validate the patient’s experience.
§ Accept that after surgery, there may be a time when the patient is grieving for
losing the ability to eat their pre-surgery diet. This is common and most people
move out of this stage soon. Listen and empathize with the patient.
§ Learning how to follow the diet post-surgery takes time. Support the patient’s
efforts to make changes and encourage ongoing improvement.
§ Be available when the patient needs assistance or emotional support.
