The investigators wish to study the effects of three forms of bariatric surgery: gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and lap banding. The surgery is not part of the clinical trial. If insurance does not cover the procedure, then the patient is responsible for payment of the surgical process. The investigators are doing pre- and post-surgery testing to provide a better understanding of the effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on 1) alcohol absorption, distribution and elimination from the body; 2) the effects of alcohol on blood sugar; and 3) the effects of alcohol on mood.
This registry will prospectively enroll 4,000 patients who undergo FMT at 75 sites throughout North America. Information on FMT methodology employed (e.g., screening of donor and recipient, preparation, FMT delivery) will be collected from each site. The indication for FMT as well as baseline information on recipient will also be collected. Following FMT, patients will be followed at regular intervals up to 10 years post FMT. This will include follow-up information from the patient's healthcare provider at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after FMT as well as direct communication with patients at least annually up to 10 years after FMT. Follow-up information collected will be designed to assess potential short-term and long-term safety and effectiveness.
