ClinConnect Summary

The "Alcohol After Bariatric Surgery 2" clinical trial is studying how the body processes alcohol and how it affects mood and blood sugar levels in both men and women who have had sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. The researchers want to find out if there are differences between men and women in how they handle alcohol after this surgery and how drinking alcohol on an empty stomach compares to drinking it after a meal in terms of blood sugar control.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 21 and 64 years old and have had sleeve gastrectomy surgery 1 to 5 years ago. You should also drink at least one alcoholic drink per month but no more than seven drinks per week if you're a woman or 14 if you're a man. There is also a control group for people who have not had the surgery, and they will be matched in age, body type, and drinking habits. Participants can expect to take part in two types of alcohol tests while fasting or after eating a meal. This trial is currently recruiting participants and aims to gather important information that could help improve understanding of alcohol consumption after weight-loss surgery.
