Meg Semrau, a nurse coordinator of Stanford's bariatric program, talks about research on weight loss at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., Monday, June 18, 2007. Semrau, who had gastric bypass surgery herself more than three years ago, said she noticed her tolerance for alcohol had decreased after surgery. People who had obesity surgery got drunk after just one glass of wine, researchers reported in a small study that was inspired by an episode on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' For those who have had the operation, one drink may be too many, the lead researcher warned.
