“…Alcohol use disorder is acknowledged as an undesired consequence of metabolic bariatric surgery, potentially arising from modi cations in alcohol metabolism, pharmacokinetics, reward processing, or the transfer of dependence after surgery [27]. The seminal studies of the Swedish Obese Subjects Study (SOS), conducted in 2013, revealed that 93.1% of operated patients reported alcohol consumption classi ed as low risk by the World Health Organization (WHO) [28].…”

Purpose: to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on the incidence of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and depression during the postoperative period. Methods: A prospective study was conducted, evaluating 68 patients who underwent either sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The presence of AUD and depression was assessed both pre- and postoperatively. AUD assessment utilized the AUDIT-C score, while depression assessment employed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: The average age of the sample was 42.81 ± 9.28 years, with 85.3% being female. The meanfollow-up duration was 16.54 ± 7.41 months. In the preoperative assessment, 92.6% of the sample fell into the low-risk category for AUD according to the AUDIT-C. No statistically significant difference was observed between the RYGB and SG groups. Postoperatively, 89.7% of the sample was classified as low risk for AUD, with no significant differences comparedto the preoperative assessment. Regardingdepression, there was no significant difference between the pre- and postoperative periods for all patients. However, a notable trend towards a reduction in "severe depression" was observed in the postoperative period for patients undergoing SG (pre: 14.0% vs. post: 7.0%, p=0.013). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the presence of AUD and depression between pre- and postoperative assessments in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
