  • Title: [Anorexia: a redoubtable complication of the surgical treatment for obesity after jejuno ileal by-pass (author's transl)].
    Author: Schlienger JL, Calderoli H, Hollender LF, Stephan F.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1978 May 06; 7(18):1527-30. PubMed ID: 97623.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of severe anorexia are reported. It results in a strong protein malabsorption with hepatic steatosis and in a syndrome of mental depression which needed the re-establishment of the intestinal-continuity. Although a mild post-operative anorexia is regular and contributes to the weight loss, massive anorexia must be considered as a new and redoubtable unpredictible complication of the surgical treatment for obesity, which may hinder the intestinal adaptation and increase the protein malabsorption.
