<s>[INST] Is it true that there is a greater risk of having problems with alcohol after bariatric surgery? [/INST] Some research indicates so, since the changes induced by the surgery itself can modify the absorption of alcohol in the organism, increasing its toxicity, with higher values and for a longer time in the blood. This would imply a greater risk of developing a problematic consumption, even with a low consumption, at a physical and psychological level, so it is recommended not to consume alcohol after surgery.
