Pharmacokinetics and Subjective Responses to Alcohol After Bariatric Surgery

The investigators wish to study the effects of alcohol on three forms of bariatric surgery,
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric
banding (LAGB). The surgery is not part of the clinical trial. If insurance does not cover
the procedure, then the patient is responsible for payment of the surgical process. The
investigators are doing pre and post surgery testing to provide a better understanding of the
effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on 1) alcohol absorption, distribution and
elimination from the body, 2) the effects of alcohol on mood, and 3) the effects of alcohol
on driving.

The study includes six groups of women: One group will be undergoing RYGB another group will
be undergoing LAGB, a third group will be undergoing SG, the fourth group will be women who
underwent RYGB 1-5 years ago, the fifth group will be women who underwent LAGB 1-5 years ago,
and the sixth group will be women who underwent SG 1-5 years ago.
