Answer to Question 1

 Adults with CKD (not on dialysis): 23-35 kcal/kg
 Adults on dialysis (< 60 yrs): 35 kcal/kg
 Adults on dialysis (> 60 yrs): 30-35 kcal/kg

Answer to Question 2

Internet search information is taken from: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/vsg/about_vertical_sleeve_gastrectomy.html
Qualification information: for low-BMI individuals that should consider this procedure:
 Those concerned by long-term complications of intestinal bypass
 Those who are concerned about a lap-band, or inserting a foreign object into the abdomen
 Those who have other medical problems that prevent them from having weight-loss surgery such as anemia, Crohn's disease, extensive prior surgery, severe asthma requiring frequent steroid use, and other complex medical conditions
 People who need to take anti-inflammatory medications; VSG presents a lower risk for development of ulcers after taking anti-inflammatory meds after surgery
Personnel involved:
 Laparoscopic Associates of San Francisco (LAPSF)
 Obesityhelp.com
 In more than 700 patients, there were no deaths, no conversions to open and a leak rate of less than 1. (obesityhelp.com)
 Study showed that two-year weight-loss results from the vertical gastrectomy were similar to the roux-en-Y.
 57 weight loss using the vertical gastrectomy compared to 41 for the lap-band procedure.
 This case is associated with a team of several doctors from LAPSF.
