Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the difference, if any, in the area under the sertraline plasma level time curve (AUC) between patients who are nine to fifteen months post Roux-en-Y Bariatric Surgery and control subjects matched for body mass index (BMI), age and gender.

Detailed description

Secondary objectives include the determination of changes in mean CPmax, Time to CPmax and Volume of Distribution between the two groups. Also, assessment of subject tolerance of sertraline utilizing the UKU side effect rating scale.
