Drug Rehabilitation Drug Rehab is an umbrella term for a variety of processes by which a person addicted to a drug stops using that drug. These processes can vary from cold turkey to the use of substitute drugs which do not have the same action upon the state of consciousness as the original drug to which the person was addicted.Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a strong craving for alcohol, a constant or periodic reliance on use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, the inability to limit drinking, physical illness when drinking is stopped, and the need for increasing amounts of alcohol to feel its effects.
I think you should quit drinking totaly if you want to have that surgery I give you this advice because I had a very nasty surgery 4 years ago, ana I was advised not to drink at all for one whole year, so you should quit just now before your gastric bypass.
I would really advise that you do everything in your power to cut out the drinking if you are having that type of surgery.
You may find that by cutting out the alcohol you will lose a fair amount of weight which in itself will make the operation safer.
Also, you need to fully understand the implications of the operation and the restrictions that it will place on your life afterwards, being sober whilst having that chat would be recommended.
Yes, you should quit as you will not be allowed to drink once you have had the surgery or at least for a certain amount of time. You will be busy trying to maintain a somewhat healthy body and this will not be good for it. You do not want to have to suffer too much with withdrawl symptoms or anything of that nature during you first year.
How much danger is there??
