[QUOTE="Lil, post: 707548, member: 17309"] I just saw this and hope you don't mind my weighing in - no pun intended. Of course it's possible to gain weight from alcohol. Alcohol has calories and mixers have even more. If you consume more calories than you burn, you'll gain weight, it doesn't matter what the source of the calories is, be it beer or bratwurst, you'll gain. I don't know about your drinking habit, but if your mother is concerned enough to suggest addiction treatment...do you believe you have a drinking problem? You sound as though you aren't at the point of wanting to change, even if you do...so I'll leave that thought alone. BUT, weight loss surgery isn't for someone who gains a few pounds because they drink too much. In fact, NO reputable bariatric surgeon would perform weight loss surgery for that reason. Weight loss surgery is for someone very obese, or who has medical problems because of their weight. After bariatric surgery you have to maintain a very strict diet and alcohol restriction is [U]highly[/U] recommended. In fact, people who have bariatric surgery are at a much higher risk for developing a substance abuse disorder. You really should look into this carefully. [/QUOTE]
