[When bariatric surgery "bypasses" controlled alcohol consumption].

Abstract

Obesity is a complex disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Its management is a major health issue. Obesity surgery is currently the most effective treatment for this condition. However, for several years, a link between bariatric surgery and the development of an alcohol use disorder seems to be emerging. As this psychiatric complication has also a high morbidity and mortality rate, it is important to consider prevention tools to limit its occurrence and specific therapeutic approaches for its management.
