Abstract
Patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery have been shown to have significantly altered alcohol metabolism postoperatively with peak blood alcohol content (BAC) and time to sobriety being increased. The alteration in alcohol metabolism following gastric bypass may be due to bypassing alcohol dehydrogenase receptors in the stomach and increased absorption via the Roux limb. Our hypothesis is that alcohol metabolism for patients undergoing gastric banding or sleeve gastrectomy would not be significantly altered.
