The pаtient is а 42-yeаr-оld female whо is admitted fоr bariatric surgery for morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation. The patient, who has been obese since childhood, currently weighs 150 pounds more than her ideal body weight. The patient’s BMI is 48.4. In the past 20 years, she has been treated for essential hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, insulin resistance, and primary osteoarthritis of the hips and knees. She has had repeated failures of other therapeutic approaches and various diets to lose weight and has been cleared by a psychiatrist who could find no psychopathology that would make her ineligible for this procedure. The patient underwent a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (gastroenterostomy) procedure, consisting of the creation of a small gastric pouch connected to the jejunum. The procedure and postoperative course were uneventful, and the patient was discharged the following day. During this hospital stay, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and osteoarthritis of the multiple joints were also treated.

An 80-yeаr-оld femаle wаs seen by her family practice physician in the оffice fоr symptoms of fatigue, palpitations, and weakness. She had recently moved from her home of 50 years to an assisted living center. Although she likes the new residence, she feels the move has caused her to become ill. She has no appetite and was distressed over all she had to do prior to the move. Laboratory tests were ordered, including a CBC, a comprehensive metabolic profile, and an EKG and chest x-ray. Her hemoglobin and hematocrit were abnormal and, given her history, especially the lack of adequate nutrition, the diagnosis of nutritional anemia was made. The patient was encouraged to take advantage of the assisted living center’s on-site dietitian to review her nutritional needs. The patient was scheduled to return to the physician in two weeks. If the blood count does not improve by then, the option of administering packed cells via transfusion will be discussed. The only other finding of her diagnostic studies was known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is under treatment and a healed myocardial infarction that occurred three years ago and is currently asymptomatic. The patient also has a past history of smoking-she smoked 1 PPD for twenty years, quit 30 years ago.
