“…First, studies have shown that pre-operative addictive eating behaviors and binge eating do not increase the likelihood of developing AUD[ 40 , 41 ] which directly opposes the idea that post-surgical AUD originates from food-related addictive behaviors. Furthermore, increased alcohol use has been observed in patients following prophylactic total gastrectomy, even in the absence of obesity or history of addictive eating behaviors[ 42 , 43 ]. Second, the tendency for alcohol use to increase one to two years after bariatric surgery contradicts the addiction transfer theory as the reduction in food intake occurs almost immediately post-operatively[ 44 ].…”

Bariatric surgery is a routinely performed procedure and is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality in patients with obesity. However, bariatric surgery has also been linked to increased alcohol use with up to 30% of these patients developing alcohol use disorder (AUD). The mechanism of AUD after bariatric surgery is multifactorial and includes anatomic, metabolic, and neurohumoral changes associated with post-surgical anatomy. These patients are at increased risk of alcohol associated liver disease and, in some cases, require liver transplantation. In this article, we provide a scoping review of epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical outcomes of alcohol-related health conditions after bariatric surgery.
