|---|---|
|
Gastric Bypass longitudinal
Morbidly obese subjects undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
Subjects will be assessed in four testing sessions about 1 week apart in a randomized cross-over fashion before surgery.
During the first two sessions, their response to alcohol or nonalcoholic (placebo) beverage will be evaluated.
During testing sessions three and four, their response to alcohol administered intravenously will be evaluated.
These four testing sessions will be repeated when subjects loose ~ 16% of their presurgery body weight.
|
Subjects will be assessed in two testing sessions about 1 week apart, in which their response to alcohol or nonalcoholic (placebo) beverage will be evaluated in a randomized cross-over fashion (visit 1 alcohol, visit 2 placebo).
Subjects will be assessed in two testing sessions about 1 week apart, in which their response to alcohol or nonalcoholic (placebo) beverage will be evaluated in a randomized cross-over fashion (visit 1 placebo, visit 2 alcohol).
Subjects will be evaluated with an alcohol clamp (i.e.
alcohol will be infused intravenously until reaching 60mg/dl and this blood alcohol concentration will be kept constant for two hours).
We will record subjective responses to alcohol throughout different times of the clamp.
Subjects will be asked to press a button ("work") to receive either a "drink" or saline through an IV catheter.
The amount of alcohol infused after earning their reward will be based on their body composition and will raise their blood alcohol level by 10 mg/dl (eight time less than the legal limit for driving).
We will set a safety limit to 150 mg/dl so that subjects will not be allowed to work for alcohol until their blood alcohol levels go below that limit.

Gastric Banding longitudinal
Morbidly obese subjects undergoing laparoscopic gastric banding surgery.
Subjects will be assessed in four testing sessions about 1 week apart in a randomized cross-over fashion before surgery.
During the first two sessions, their response to alcohol or nonalcoholic (placebo) beverage will be evaluated.
During testing sessions three and four, their response to alcohol administered intravenously will be evaluated.
