About this listen

In this episode of the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast, Dr. Matthew Weiner breaks down the surprising connection between gastric bypass surgery and alcohol metabolism. You’ll learn why a single drink can hit harder post-op, how the altered digestive system impacts blood alcohol levels, and what this means for addiction risk after surgery. If you’ve had bariatric surgery—or work with patients who have—this episode offers must-know insights into post-surgery physiology, safety, and long-term success.

Whether you’re questioning if you can still enjoy alcohol or are concerned about the risk of transfer addiction, Dr. Weiner separates myth from fact in a way only he can.
