Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary Background The efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery have not been fully elucidated in patients affected with HIV. Although adjustable gastric banding (ABG) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are started to be used in HIV patients, there are limited descriptions of the outcomes of T2DM in the HIV positive group undergoing these procedures. Case presentation We have evaluated retrospectively three patients who underwent AGB or SG, the effect in weight reduction and glycaemic control as well as its impact on the HIV management. Case 1 (AGB) achieved 19% total weight loss (TWL) and Cases 2 and 3 (SG) lost 25% and 14% respectively post-operation. In terms of T2DM, Case 2 achieved complete remission according to ADA criteria, while Case 1 would also have achieved remission were it not for the continuation of metformin postoperatively. Insulin requirements and pill burden were markedly reduced in Case 3 after SG, though lack of remission was predictable given the longevity of T2DM and pre-operative insulin dosage. In all three cases, HIV status did not appear to be affected by the bariatric surgery which was supported by the post-operative stable CD4 count and undetectable viral load. Conclusions Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment modality in the HIV positive patient with obesity and T2DM.
