June 2026 (B): Alcohol consumption patterns up to 10 years after bariatric surgery: using the highly specific biomarker phosphatidylethanol

Analyze longitudinal PEth trends to interpret long-term alcohol consumption patterns following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Evaluate sex-specific risk differences in postoperative alcohol use and integrate these findings into bariatric follow-up strategies. Assess the advantages and limitations of PEth testing compared with self-reported alcohol measures in bariatric populations. Apply evidence from long-term PEth monitoring to optimize postoperative surveillance and counseling protocols in bariatric practice.
