Late term hiatal hernia after gastric bypass: an emerging problem January 24, 2020

Gastric bypasses were the most common bariatric surgery for many years, and long-term complications after gastric bypass are known to be relatively common. Symptomatic hiatal hernia (HH) with pouch migration is a less well-known complication. However, when these are symptomatic, they require surgical repair.

Alcohol sensitivity in women after undergoing bariatric surgery: a cross-sectional study January 23, 2020

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the most common bariatric surgeries performed worldwide, increase the risk to develop an alcohol use disorder (AUD). This might be due, in part, to surgery-related changes in alcohol pharmacokinetics. Another risk factor, unexplored within this population, is having a reduced subjective response to alcohol’s sedative effects.
