Las dietas de muy bajo valor calórico (DMBVC) en el manejo clínico de la obesidad mórbida
2013
Morbid obesity and its complications are an increasingly
prevalent problem. Very low calorie diets (VLCD),
providing between 450 and 800 kcal per day, are an
option increasingly used. After proper patient selection,
VLCD can result in significant weight loss in 8-16 weeks,
contributing to improve control of chronic complications
such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia (except for
initial elevation of HDL cholesterol) and apnea-hypopnea
syndrome. VLDC are increasingly used prior to bariatric
surgery, showing a decrease in hepatic steatosis and
visceral abdominal fat. Although the results of the
different studies are controversial, preoperative use of
VLDC may decrease the rate of perioperative complications,
operative time and hospital length of stay. a drastic
decrease in intake occurs after bariatric surgery, with
risk of protein deficiency, which should be frequently
corrected with supplementation by protein modules. Side
effects such as cholelithiasis, hyperuricemia and bone loss
among others should be monitored in patients undergoing
this type of diet.
