Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Truncal vagotomy reduces food and liquid intake in laboratory animals but has not been studied in man. Seven (6F) morbidly obese patients kept 4-day dietary diaries with validation by urine nitrogen analysis before and 3 and 9 months after truncal vagotomy without drainage. Significant reductions in body weight were accompanied by reductions in self-reported total calorie intake from 2800 kcal/day to 1800 at 3 months and 2000 kcal/day at 9 months. The correlation between reported and validated protein intake was .72 (p less than 0.001) with a mean underreporting of protein intake by at least 27%. Macronutricant postoperative reductions in total volume and calorie density of liquid intake. Liquid calories were reduced by 47% at 3 months and 50% at 9 months and solid calories by 33% at 3 months and 27% at 9 months. It is concluded that truncal vagotomy reduces food and liquid intake in man preferentially through liquid reduction. These results have implications for surgical treatment of morbid obesity.
