Patients who undergo bariatric surgery are at increased risk of developing alcohol problems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether patients who underwent bariatric surgery recalled receiving education about alcohol prior to having surgery and to investigate their alcohol use patterns. Patients (N = 567) who underwent bariatric surgery completed a survey regarding their knowledge of risks related to post-surgical alcohol use. Although most patients recalled receiving education about abstinence from alcohol after surgery, at least one-third of patients do not appear to understand the risks involved with alcohol consumption, suggesting that patients did not retain the information. Despite recalling receiving education, many patients still consumed alcohol after surgery. It appears that additional interventions are needed to decrease alcohol use after bariatric surgery.
接受减重手术的患者发生酒精问题的风险增加。本研究旨在评估接受减重手术的患者在手术前是否回忆起接受过有关酒精的教育，并调查他们的饮酒模式。接受减重手术的患者（N=567）完成了一项关于其对术后饮酒相关风险的认知的调查。尽管大多数患者回忆起接受了关于术后戒酒的教育，但至少有三分之一的患者似乎不了解饮酒所涉及的风险，这表明患者没有保留相关信息。尽管患者回忆起接受了教育，但许多患者仍在手术后饮酒。似乎需要额外的干预措施来减少减重手术后的饮酒量。
