Dont do it

I almost use the word 'eschew' today and then changed to avoid. In future, I will use eschew.

for posterity

you only want on his show to make some $

Dr Phil would probably just recommend some "per-fesh-null hay-ulp."

Maybe you aren't an alcoholic. According to a wise philosopher, an alcoholic would attend meetings. You're just a drunk.

I'm so sorry that you're having a bad experience with your surgery. So ok you're not an alcoholic, you do know that alcohol has sugar in it right?, some people with rny have dumping issues, your drinking is only making your health issues worse.

The people you talk about that had wls & exchanged their food with alcohol is called transfer addiction. So ok, maybe you're not doing that, but you're also not dealing with the issues on why you got to be obese. Get to the root of your food issues, its not just that you like to eat, there's more to it, whether you're ready to deal with it is another matter entirely. 

There are many different things that can contribute to alcohol addiction after gastric bypass, including -- as you yourself noted -- the quick, hard buzz from a very small amount of alcohol.  BUT... There is nothing about the surgery that caused you to take that first drink... or the second... or third, or fourth. You said it yourself: it felt great so you have another and then another! 

The surgery didn't cause you to crave alcohol.  Did it change the way your body absorbs and metabolizes alcohol? Yes, absolutely.  Did it eliminate your ability to "just say no"?  Absolutely not. 

I'm dying to know where you got the information about fat in your brain and your eyesight.  If it was a physician, you need a new one.

If by chance you get on Dr. Phil he will tell you you can't change what you don't acknowledge. You admittedly consume too much alcohol. You need to acknowledge that and take responsibility to do something to get it under control. I chose wls because I consumed too much food. Sure I had four pregnancies but there are plenty of women who are not obese after that. I ate too much. Have I had issues after surgery? Yes but they are not as devastating to me as those associated with my obesity. I am presently recovering from an ulcer so I take prilosec. Better than injecting insulin daily and using oxygen and a cpap to ensure I didn't die in my sleep. Maybe your surgery did unmask some problems but it is time for you to get some help with them. If it takes Dr. Phil to get real with you I hope he does put you on. Not only could he help you but make others aware of the BENEFITS of the surgery.

I guess you losing weight didn't help your brain function like research suggests.

You're not an alcoholic but yet you admit you can't stop with just one. Go to AA and quit your whining. Also go to a meeting about your lies and delusions - I'm betting this is just a troll - congrats many people have responded. Now go back under your bridge 

Maybe needing glasses is just a normal progression in Life as we get older.  I don't think any of your issues were caused by RNY except for the alcohol the Dr.s warn about,  and I think it's wrong of you to tell people not to do it, Dr. Phil won't see you.  This is a wonderful surgery thousands done every day.  This is just my opinion I hope you can turn things around for yourself.  Maybe go back to the basics liquid diet no coffee, no booze fresh foods, and get healthy again  best of luck to you.
